Chapter 4 Recording Operations
About Recording Times
The available recording time for a hard drive depends on
the selected recording mode, the sample rate, and the size
of the hard drive. Both the recording mode and the
sample rate can be selected on a song-by-song basis.
Recording time in track minutes for a 2000 MB partition is
shown below:
Track Minutes (See Appendices p. 13)
Sample Rate
Mode 48 kHz
MTP 742 minutes
CDR/MAS 370 minutes
MT1 742 minutes
MT2 990 minutes
LIV 1188 minutes 1292 minutes
LV2 1484 minutes 1616 minutes
(All times are approximate)
* The above chart is a general yardstick for estimating
recording time. Actual times may vary depending on your
hard disk's specifications or the number of songs created.
If "Drive Busy!" is Displayed
If this message appears during recording or playback, it
means the drive cannot keep up with the data read-write
speed. This is usually caused by disk fragmentation and
is fairly common with drives used for audio recording
on a daily basis. In most cases, it can be fixed by backing
up your songs (p. 232), initializing your hard drive
(p. 222), and then creating a new song or reloading an
existing song.

Song Numbers
On the VS-1824, every song is assigned a number. Newly
created songs are given the lowest available number. For
example, if there are five songs on the hard drive, the
next song created will be assigned Song Number 6. If
Song Number Three is deleted, the remaining songs will
be numbered 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. The next new song created
will be assigned Song Number 3.
