Creating an Audio CD

This section describes how you can create an audio CD by writing the master track of a project onto a CD-R/CD-RW disc in
the CD-R/RW drive.
To create an audio CD with the MRS-1044 model, the separately available SCSI Interface Board SIB-01
and an external SCSI CD-R/RW drive are required.

Writing audio data

When writing audio data onto a CD-R/CD-RW disc, the
currently selected V-take of the master track of each project
is used as the source. Therefore the entire project must first
be bounced onto the master track. (For information on the
bounce procedure, see page 11.)
There are two ways of writing audio data to a CD-R/CD-
RW disc.
G Writing by project
This method involves selecting a single project and writing
the master track of that project to disc. When using this
method, as long as the CD-R/CD-RW disc has not been
finalized, it is possible to call up another project and add
audio data later.
G Writing by album
This method involves first creating a list for the audio CD
(called an "album") which contains information about
master tracks from various projects that are to be included.
The CD is then written in one operation, and finalizing is
automatically performed, so that no more audio data can be
added later.
H
INT
"Finalizing" an audio CD refers to the procedure of making
it playable on an ordinary CD player. After it has been
finalized, no more data can be added to a CD-R/CD-RW
disc.
N
OTE
• The waveform data of the currently selected V-take of the
master track is recorded as is on the audio CD. Note that
the setting of the MASTER fader has no effect on the
recorded data.
• It is not possible to specify just a portion of the master
track for recording. If necessary, use the trimming
function (p. 12) to cut unneeded sections before and after
the desired portion.

About CD-R/CD-RW discs

When creating an audio CD in the MRS-1044 series, you
can select either CD-R or CD-RW discs as media. The
features of the two disc types are described below.
G CD-R
This media type allows only one-time recording or adding
of data. Once data has been written, it cannot be changed
or erased. CD-R discs are available in 650 MB and 700
MB capacities.
To newly write audio data to disc, a blank CD-R is
required. As long as the disc has not been finalized, it is
possible to add further audio data.
G CD-RW
This media type allows recording, adding, and bulk-erasing
of data. CD-RW discs are also available in 650 MB and
700 MB capacities.
To newly write audio data to disc, a blank or completely
erased CD-RW is required. (For information on how to
erase a CD-RW, see page 18.) As long as the disc has not
been finalized, it is possible to add audio data.
An audio CD created with a CD-RW disc cannot be played
in an ordinary CD player.

Recording audio data by project

You can select one project and write the contents of its
master track to a CD-R/CD-RW disc.
Verify that the CD-R/RW drive is connected to
the SIB-01 and turned on.
1.
Verify that a suitable disc is inserted in the CD-
R/RW drive.
To write new audio data, use a blank CD-R/CD-RW or a
completely erased CD-RW.
