Before You Start Recording - Roland CD-2e Owner's Manual

Before You Start Recording

Minimum Recording Time for One Track
Each track on a music CD must be at least four seconds
long. Since the CD-2e creates music CDs from the songs
you record, it does not allow you to record a track that's
less than four seconds long.
Pressing [ (Stop)] or [
recording if less than four seconds have passed since you
began recording. Moreover, you cannot assign a track
number (Page 54) in such cases.
In Case Your Performance is Not Recordable
Further recording is not possible once you've reached the
maximum recordable time or the maximum number of
songs that can be recorded.
If there is no more recordable time, the message "SD
●
Card Full" or "CD Disc Full" will appear.
If the maximum number of tracks have already been
●
recorded, the message "SD Track Full" or "CD Track
Full" will appear.
This message goes away when you press the [ENTER]
button.
If you're using an SD memory card or a CD-RW disc, you
can erase unwanted songs (Page 70, 76) and then
continue recording.

Finalization
"Finalization" is a process that can be applied to a CD-R/
RW disc so that it will be playable by a conventional CD
player. Once a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc has been finalized,
it can be played back as a music CD in a CD player that
supports CD-R or CD-RW playback.
For more information, refer to "Making a CD-R/RW Disc for
Playback on Another CD Player (Finalize)" (Page 83).
* No further songs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc that
has been finalized.
If you're using a CD-RW disc, you can remove the
finalization and add additional material.
