Using Markers To Partition Tracks And Create Audio Cds (Disc At Once By Marker) - Boss BR-1180CD Function Manual

Using markers to partition tracks and
create audio CDs (Disc At Once by Marker)
When CDs are created from songs recorded in long sessions,
such as with live performances, nonstop DJ mixes, and other
extended recordings, such long-length data ends up being
burned to the CD as a single track.
With Ver. 2, you can use the marker function to set divisions
at desired points in the recording to separate it into
individual tracks on the audio CD. These tracks are called
"CD tracks."
This function allows you to create audio CDs complete with
CD tracks even when recording live performances and
nonstop DJ mixes.
1. Prepare the performance you want to write an audio
CD from by first recording it to stereo tracks (any tracks
from 1/2 to 9/10 can be used).
* Take care not to switch tracks while preparing audio tracks.
For example, if you are recording a thirty-minute live
performance, record the entire performance, from start to
finish, on the same stereo tracks (such as Tracks 9/10).
2. Use the TIME/VALUE dial and [REW] [FF] to move to a
location where you want to create a separate song.
3. Hold down [TAP] and press [MARK].
A marker is set at that location, and a "T" appears in the
marker name area in the Top screen. At the same time,
the CD track number is automatically set as the marker
name.

* You cannot write in the section on audio CDs from the
beginning of the audio track (zero location) and the first
marker indicated by the "T." If you want to write to the audio
CD from the very start of an audio track, press [ZERO] to go
to the start of the a audio track, then carry out Step 3.
* You cannot set a new marker within 100 milliseconds before or
after an existing marker. In such instances, first clear the
existing marker, then carry out Step 3 to set the new marker
(Owner's Manual p. 61 "Clearing markers").
4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 at all the locations where you want
CD tracks to be created.
* If you inadvertently set a marker at the wrong location, you
can delete the marker (Owner's Manual p. 61 "Clearing
markers").

5. Press the CD-R/RW [AUDIO CD] button, use
[CURSOR] to move the cursor to "WRITE," then press
[ENTER]. Follow this by using [CURSOR] to move the
cursor to "DISK AT ONCE," then press [ENTER].

6. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to "BY MARK" and
press [ENTER].
This brings up the Disc At Once by Marker screen, which
shows the tracks to be written and their marker
locations.

* If a CD-R/RW disc that already has data written to it is
loaded, the message "Not Blank Disc!" appears, and you
cannot proceed with the backup. Be sure to use only blank
discs. If a CD-RW disc is inserted, the message "Erase Disc?"
appears. If you press [ENTER] here, erasure of the disc begins.
7. Select the audio tracks you want to write to the audio
CD with the TIME/VALUE dial.
* At this point, only stereo tracks can be selected for the audio
tracks.
* If you select an audio track to which no data has been recorded,
or if no marker indicated by "T" has been set in the segment in
which the performance is recorded, the message "NO DATA"
appears in the list, and you cannot continue with further
operations.
