actually like the tonal qualities of the old XLR10 add on pack for the CR1604
better than my VLZ preamps. They don't cut my head off, and I have tried
some fairly decent mics through them.

will occur, at the Now Line. Immediately before
performing the edit, SAVE the project. Then, if you don't like the
results, simply REVERT the file and try again.
4. Here's the destructive part. Open Delete Time in the Edit menu
5. Click the radio button next to the unit of time measurement you'd
like to use.
6. Type the amount of time you want to remove from the Project
determined in Step 2.
7. Click One Track to delete time from any selected Track/FlexTrack, or
All Tracks to delete it from the entire SubMix. To remove time from
all of the SubMixes in the Project, click the Across all SubMixes
checkbox. **
8. Click OK or click Cancel to exit.
9. Hit OK and have a listen. If you don't like the cut, hitting Undo
in each Editor will fix it, except that the Markers after the cut will
have been moved and there is no Undo for that.
10. Keep in mind that you can crossfade all tracks in an Editor at once.
Using this method, Paris can make a seamless multitrack edit pretty dang
quick.
This can be done on one track, all highlighted tracks, all tracks in the
edit window AND across all submixes.
** When the Editor Window is in Constrained mode, DELETE TIME also
deletes time (and data) from the Automation Tracks numerically
corresponding to the selected Editor Window Tracks. In Free Form mode,
time is removed from the corresponding Automation Tracks only when All
Tracks is selected in Step 5 above.
* Do Reverse Sort by clicking on the Show menu and displaying the time
increment of your choice. Then click on the column header to
sort/reverse sort.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------
To DELETE time across multiple submixes use the DELETE TIME feature in
the Edit menu
1. Find the Kick on the In and Out points and drop markers at both places.
2. Highlight the objects, move the now line to each marker and press
Control-K to break the objects. Highlight the objects. Click in the
Information Bar on the Sel End text label to display Sel Rng(Selection
Range) to find out the EXACT LENGTH of the objects you've selected.
3. Immediately before performing the delete, SAVE the project. Then, if
you don't like the results, simply REVERT the file and try again.
4. Here's the destructive part. Open Delete Time in the Edit menu
5. Click the radio button next to the unit of time measurement you'd

covered with the Kurz PC2X or the real C7 at the studio.I've
played on a Motif a little and the interface did seem a little
screwy,but it did seem there were some good sounds.
thanks john
