Cd Player - Akai DPS24 Operator's Manual

CD-R
ENSURING THAT NO DISK TRACKS ARE ENABLED FOR RECORD.....
Press PLAY and RECORD to record your stereo master mixdown. At the end of the mixdown, drop out of record in
the usual way.
In the PROJECT mode, you will see your new mixed project listed in amongst the rest. Select and load that project.
What you will see is a 24-track project that uses just tracks 1 and 2 which contain your stereo mixdown (left channel
on track 1; right channel on track 2). To record this to CD-R, in the CD-R page described on the previous pages, you
should select TRACK1 for the LEFT TRACK and TRACK 2 for RIGHT TRACK. Now press WRITE - your stereo
mix will be written to the CD.
This method may seem convoluted but there are good reasons for it. Firstly, it allows you to try several different
mixes of each project before committing to CD. Also, it allows you to edit the master mixdown in the usual way just
like any multi-track project.

CD PLAYER

Pressing CD PLAYER (F1/2) shows this screen:
Here you can play tracks recorded on the CD-R/CD-RW using a simple user interface.
Use the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys to select a track to play and use the CD player's 'transport' keys on F3-F6 to play,
stop, pause or rewind/fast forward through tracks on the CD.
When a track is playing, you can skip to the next using the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys which will cause playback to
skip to the next track. During playback, you can use the rewind and fast forward keys to 'stutter' through a track.
When a track is playing, the status of F6 changes slightly:
PLAY
PAUSE
NOTE : It is not possible to play the CD through the DPS24's monitoring system. You can listen to it on the
CD-RW's headphone socket (if the model installed has one, of course) but, ideally, to hear the CD you have
created, you should take it to a compatible CD player.
You can return to the CD-WRITER at any time by pressing F1/2 [CD WRITER].

When idle, F6 is a 'play' key.
During playback, F6 becomes a pause control.
