About data types

■
When you record a new song, the BR-600 allows you to set
the data type. This enables you to select the combination of
audio quality and recording time that is most suitable for
the material you are recording.
The following data types can be selected.
3
HiFi (MT2) (multitrack 2) :
For high-quality recordings. This data type is recommended
when you will be doing a lot of track bouncing. Normally you
should select this type. Use this type for most of your recordings.
STD (LV1) (live 1) :
For recordings that will take longer than what can be
provided with the MT2 data type. This is the most suitable
setting for recording live performances.
LONG (LV2) (live 2) :
Of the three data types, this provides the longest recording time.
This is convenient when the card has little recording capacity.
Recording time
The recording times possible for each data type on one
memory card are given below (when recording one track).
Data type Recording time (times approximate)
HiFi (MT2)
32 MB 16 min.
64 MB 32 min.
128 MB 65 min.
256 MB 130 min.
512 MB 260 min.
1 GB 520 min.
* The sampling rate is set to 44.1 kHz, regardless of the data
type. You cannot change the sampling rate.
• The data type of a song cannot be changed after it
is created.
• The recording times shown above are
approximate. Depending on the number of songs,
the allowable recording time may decrease.
• The recording times shown above are for when
only one track is used. For example, if you record
on all eight tracks, the recording time for each track
will be 1/8th of the time shown above.
• The CompactFlash memory cards supported by
your BR-600 are 32 MB to 1 GB CompactFlash
cards for use with a 3.3 V power supply voltage.
