Combining Tracks - Sony MDS-PC3 M-crew Operating Instructions Manual

Combining Tracks

This function allows you to combine any two
tracks into a single track. The two tracks need not
to be consecutive nor chronological. You can
combine several tracks into a single medley, or
several independently recorded portions into a
single track. When you combine two tracks, the
total number of tracks decreases by one and all
tracks following the combined track are
renumbered.
Example: Combining the second
track and the fourth track

If both of the combined tracks have a track name,
the name of the second track is erased.

Notes
-
• If "Impossible" appears in the display, the tracks
can't be combined because repeated editing has
been done to the track(s). This is a technical
limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical
error.
• You cannot combine tracks which were recorded in
different recording modes.
