Placing Cd Track Markers - Roland VS-2400CD Owner's Manual

26—Mastering and CD-R/RW Operations
You'll find the process of placing CD track markers much simpler if the numbers of the
CD track markers you place correspond to the numbering of the CD's audio selections.
There are a couple of things you can do to make this happen.
Delete all of the project's other markers
When you do this, your marker numbering starts with a clean slate. If you don't want to
lose your markers, make a second copy of the project (Page 97). Remove the markers—
and burn your CD—from one of the project copies. See Page 184 to learn how to delete
all of a project's markers.
Place a pair of dummy markers in the first selection
Since your CD burner ignores the VS-2400CD's normal project markers, you can place
two "dummy" markers somewhere in the middle of the first selection—it doesn't
matter where, as long as they're at least four seconds after the start of the selection and
at least four seconds before its end. These two markers push the remaining CD track
marker numbers back into line with the CD's track numbers. To use our example again:
Location:
Beginning of Song #1
Middle of Song #1
Middle of Song #1
Beginning of Song #2
Beginning of Song #3
Beginning of Song #4

Placing CD Track Markers

1. Press HOME•DISPLAY to view the Home screen.
2. Position the now line at the beginning of the second selection on your mastering
Use the VS-2400CD's Scrub feature (Page 178) to place the now line as precisely as you
can, about 15 frames before the start of the selection's audio. The placement of the CD
track marker determines what happens when a listener selects the track on a CD
player, so make sure you've set the CD track marker where you want it.
3. While holding down CD-RW/MASTERING, press TAP to place
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for any other CD track markers you want to
When you're done, you can jump from marker to marker to check their positions using
the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons—see "Using PREVIOUS and NEXT" on Page 183. If
you need to clear and re-place a CD track marker, use PREVIOUS or NEXT to move the
now line to the marker, hold down CLEAR and press TAP.
