Automatic Track Division; Rec Mute Function - Tascam CC-222MKII Owner's Manual

Automatic track division

The trigger level, as set above ("Synchronized
recording" on page 29) can also be used to divide
tracks if the A-TRACK (auto track) function is
enabled.
When this function is enabled, the unit automatically
inserts a track division in the recorded material when:
• recording digitally from MD, CD or DAT, an incre-
ment signal is detected and the sound level rises
above the threshold:

or
• increment signals are unavailable (e.g. analog
recording or digital sources other than MD. CD or
DAT) and the sound level has dropped below the
threshold for more than two seconds, and sound
has re-started:

NOTE
When recording certain types of material (e.g. certain
types of classical music or spoken word) through the
analog connections, since the track divisions are deter-
mined by relative silence, it is possible that spurious
track divisions will be inserted. Under these conditions,
it may be better to use manual track division ("Manual
track division" on page 27).
It is not possible to turn this function on and off when
recording.
However, if recording through a digital connection, the
track number will be incremented only when a track
division signal is received, followed by a rise in volume.
