Tascam HD-P2 User Manual

The 

 wheel moves the menu selection as 

it does in any other menu screen. If you wish to use 

the 

 wheel to move the timeline, press and 

hold the 

 key.

While auditioning the file you can change the In and 

Out points by pressing the 

keys. The 

display updates to show the current selection of the 

file and the small In/Out time displays also update to 

reflect the new position. This is used to trim unwanted 

sections of audio from the front and/or end of the 

audio file.
Figure 16 shows a section of the file from 4 seconds, 

670 msecs to 14 seconds, 70 msecs. If you navigate 

to the Trim menu item and press 

 it will (after 

a confirmation dialog) permanently remove the grey 

sections to the left and right from the file.

 – Used to rename the file (up to 8 characters).

Trim

 – Trim audio from beginning and/or end of file 

based on In/Out points.

Delete

 – Removes file from project, moving it into the 

project trash.

Whenever a “retake” is performed, or Delete is chosen 

in the File Edit screen, the HD-P2 moves the audio 

file to the Project’s Trash folder. The Trash Manager 

screen is used to move a file back into the project, or 

to delete the file(s) permanently. 
In Figure 17 there is only one file in the trash, which 

you can select to delete, or to move back into the 

project. Selecting the Delete All Files menu option will 

permanently delete all files from the trash.
For information regarding how much space is being 

used by all files, in all projects, visit the Media 

Cleanup menu, located in the Media Management area 

of the System Menu.
Deleting files from one project’s trash does not affect 

files in other projects.

This menu shows a list of all active files in the project. 

Highlight a file and press 

 to enter the File Edit 

screen.
The File Edit screen is the only screen that disables the 

transport keys from normal operation. While in this 

screen you use the 

 keys to audition 

the current file. The timeline shows where you are in 

the file. The top left and right time fields indicate the 

current In and Out points of the file. When you first 

visit this screen they are set to the start and end loca-

tion of the file.
