•• Removing a sound segment

It is often needed to remove a segment of recorded sound from an already recorded tape.  This tape removal capability allows the user to simply modify the tape rather than recording the entire content all over again to include the changes needed.  For example, if the recorded sound is "One...Two...Three...Four", user can modify it to "One...Two...Four" erasing the word "Three".

To remove (erase) a segment from an already recorded tape , the following two steps must be taken:

     1) Mark the beginning of the portion to be erased.  This is done by simply rewind, fast forward, or play to the point of desire and clicking the erase button or selecting "Erase" item in the "Edit" menu.  The erase button would begin flashing indicating that tape eraser has been initiated.

     2) Rewind, fast forward, or play to another point in tape and mark the end of erase selection by either clicking the erase button or selecting the "Erase" from the "Edit" menu.

The start point and end point for erase could be any where on the tape.  Start point does not have to be smaller that the end point.  For example, the start of erase could be marked at 12.29 seconds elapsed and the end point could be marked at 3.09 seconds elapsed.  The erase process will automatically take care of the ends of the range and that portion of the tape is removed from the tape.
