Therefore, as a convenience:
• when you select a phrase, the VS-2400CD automatically places the FROM point at
the beginning of the phrase. If you select multiple phrases, FROM is placed at the
front of the first phrase you select.
• when you place an IN point to define the beginning of a region, the VS-2400CD
automatically sets FROM to the same location. If you select multiple regions,
FROM is placed at the front of the first region you select.
If you set FROM at an event within a phrase or region, you can use the event’s target
location as a way to position the entire phrase or region.
For example, when:
• you’re copying a one-measure drum loop and can’t find the exact start of the downbeat
—
Place FROM at an easily identified, loud, repeated event, such as a snare drum hit
on the second beat. Place TO at the second beat of the destination measure. When
you copy the loop, the snare—along with the rest of the loop—lands in the pocket.
•
you’re moving a music cue with a passage that has to occur at a specific time
—Place
FROM at the beginning of the passage. Place TO where you want the passage to
start. Move the entire cue and the passage lands in exactly the right place.
Using the IN, OUT, FROM and TO Buttons
You can set your IN, OUT, FROM and TO edit points using the VS-2400CD’s IN, OUT,
FROM and TO buttons. You can also jump immediately to any of these edit points by
pressing its button.
Placing Edit Points Using the IN, OUT, FROM and TO Buttons
To set edit points for the first time in a project using the VS-2400CD’s buttons:
1. Position the timeline at the desired location.
2. Hold down SHIFT and press the desired IN, OUT, FROM or TO button.
3. To clear an edit point, hold down SHIFT and CLEAR buttons. Then press the
desired IN, OUT, FROM or TO button.
Once you’ve set a project’s IN, OUT, FROM and TO points, their buttons can be
configured so that pressing an edit point’s button:
• moves the timeline to its position.
• resets the edit point to the current position of the timeline.
You can manually reset FROM to any location you desire using the methods described
later in this chapter.
FROM and TO also make it easy to accurately position sound effects you’ve recorded or
imported.
