58 TASCAM DP-008
Editing on a conventional tape recorder in the
past required advanced techniques, but with
this unit editing tracks is easy and accurate.
Moreover, with a tape recorder, an editing
error could not be undone, but this unit uses
nondestructive editing, allowing you to edit
without altering the original data. This means
that the undo function can be used to correct
an edit easily (see “Undoing the last operation
(single undo)” on page 50).

functions.

Editing points
Among the track editing functions, COPY/
PASTE, COPY/INSERT, MOVE/PASTE and
MOVE/INSERT use the IN and OUT points
as editing points. They also use the current
position when the editing operation is begun
as the TO point. SILENCE, CUT, and OPEN
use the IN and OUT points. These IN and
OUT points are the same IN and OUT points
used during repeat playback. See “Setting IN
and OUT points” (on page 55) for instructions
about how to do this.

The IN point is the starting point for the part of
the track subject to track editing.

The OUT point is the ending point for the part
of the track subject to track editing.
