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 2 GB partition is shown below:
Track Minutes (See Appendices, p. 65)
Mode 48 kHz
MTP 742 minutes
MAS 370 minutes
MT1 742 minutes
MT2 990 minutes
LIV1 1188 minutes
LIV2 1484 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. 226), initializing your hard drive
(p. 217), and then creating a new song or reloading an
existing song.
