19—Phrase Editing Operations
This chapter describes the phrase-based editing operations you can perform in the
VS-2000. Most of the operations can be performed using an optional mouse (Page 66) or
the edit commands presented in the TRACK menu—some can be performed only from
the menu. We’ll list the way(s) each operation can be performed.
Chapter 18, “Editing Tracks,” explains:
• important editing concepts you need to know—see Page 235.
• all about the FROM and TO edit points—see Page 236.
•how to edit using a mouse—see Page 242.
•how to edit from the TRACK menu—see Page 249.
COPY
Use: Mouse, TRACK menu
Phrase COPY makes a copy of each selected phrase and pastes the copy
at the desired location. You can copy a phrase to a new time location
and/or to another track. You can copy it to a currently selected V-Track,
or to a V-Track that isn’t currently selected.
Why You’d Use Phrase COPY
You can use COPY to build a track from a short musical segment such as a drum
pattern. By pasting the pattern end-to-end the desired number of times, you can create
a seamless drum loop. COPY also allows you re-use performances that occur multiple
times in a project—perfectly performed chorus background vocals, for example. You
can also create a safety copy of a phrase on a spare V-Track before editing the original.
Edit Points
•
FROM
—sets the location of the phrase’s time anchor.
•
TO
—sets the time location at which you want to paste the time anchor.
Times
This sets the number of copies to be pasted, one after another, at the TO point.
You can find step-by-step editing instructions in the Step-by-Step Instruction Finder
that starts on Page 21.
If you’ve recorded mastering tracks (Page 356) in CDR mode, their phrases can’t be
used on other project V-Tracks. Likewise, non-CDR phrases can’t be used on CDR-
recorded mastering tracks. If you attempt either action, the VS-2000 displays “Found
Illegal Track Pair!” Press ENTER/YES. You can easily spot CDR-recorded tracks—see
Page 357.
The TRACK menu’s phrase COPY operation lets you copy phrases to V-Tracks that
aren’t currently selected.
