Yamaha AW4416 Manuale Utente

Chapter9—Track and virtual track operations

A variety of editing operations can be performed on the audio data recorded on 
tracks 1–16 of the AW4416, such as copying data between tracks, moving data to 
an earlier or later location within the same track, or changing the pitch. In the 
same way, you can also copy or move data between the virtual tracks 1–8 that are 
included in each track. The following pages explain how to edit tracks and virtual 
tracks.

Track and virtual track editing can be performed in three editing units.

❍ Track
The entire currently selected track (1–16) or virtual track (1–8) will be affected by 
the editing operation. When editing in units of a track, tracks that contain no 
audio data cannot be selected.

❍ Part
Within the currently selected track (1–16) or virtual track (1–8), the currently 
selected range is called the “part.” Unlike the case when editing tracks, portions 
that contain no audio data can be selected as a part.

❍ Region
A continuous piece of audio that was recorded on a track in a single operation is 
called a “region.” When editing in units of a region, portions that contain no 
audio data cannot be selected.

It is possible for a single track or a single part to include multiple regions.
