Creating An Audio Cd; Using Disc At Once - Tascam Digital Portastudio DP-24 Owner's Manual

NOTE
During playback, selecting a track does not affect
playback. Stop playback and start again to play the
selected track.

Creating an Audio CD

Using this unit, you can create Audio CDs that can be
played back by ordinary CD players by writing the master
files created for songs to CD-R and CD-RW discs. (See
"Creating a master file" on page 69.)
Use the following three methods to create an Audio CD.
Disc At Once (DAO)
ª
Use this method to write multiple master files at one time.
Since this method automatically finalizes the disc, making
it playable by an ordinary CD player, you will be able to
use the completed disc with other CD players right away.
(See "Finalizing a CD" on page 90.)
However, once DAO is completed, you will not be able
to add any more tracks to the CD-R/CD-RW that was
automatically finalized.
Track At Once (TAO)
ª
Use this method to write a single master file at a time to a
CD-R/CD-RW.
Use the Track At Once when you want to write files to the
CD-R/CD-RW at different times.
With Track At Once, the CD-R/CD-RW is not automatically
finalized.
Note, however, that an non-finalized CD-R/CD-RW can be
played in this unit, but cannot be played in an ordinary CD
player.
After you have written all the master files to a disc using
Track At Once, finalize the disc. (See "Finalizing a CD" on
page 90.)
You cannot add more tracks to a CD-R/CD-RW that has
been finalized.
LIVE WRITER function
ª
You can use marks to divide a master file into multiple
parts, and write them as multiple tracks to a disc.

Using Disc At Once

Use Disc At Once when you have selected multiple tracks.
Using Disc At Once, you can set the order of multiple
tracks as you like. Moreover, you can set the time and add
silent gaps between songs.

When using Disc At Once, you can also make multiple
discs with the same contents. When doing so, use
identical discs (same manufacturer, type and capacity).
