Checking The Number Of Each Track Events - Fostex VR800 Owner's Manual

Checking the number of track events ("NOs Event ?" menu)
The "Checking the number of track events" menu enables you to check the number of events on each track.
Each track (including Additional tracks) of VR800 Programs consists of consecutive audio files (and "zero" files).
The number of events represents the total number of audio files and 0 files. Each track can contain up to 512
events.
If you are editing a song of typical length (about six minutes), repeated editing operation does not usually cause
this maximum number to be exceeded. (Exceeding this limit is called "event number overflow.") Even a 20-
minute song will not cause event number overflow. This is because the VR800 system always optimizes the data
structure by keeping the number of events low. However, if a recording on a track is scattered in different areas
of the disk, or if you have made a very long recording on a single track and performed many edits, you should be
wary of "event number overflow." To avoid this problem, use the "Checking the number of track events" menu
to check the number of events on each track prior to recording or editing.
