About Start And End Points - Fostex VF80 Owner's Manual

Advanced Operations
As described earlier, the starting and ending times of internal mastering are automatically
registered as "Start point" and "End point" respectively, which can be used for track editing
(copy, move and erase) for the newly created program (see the illustrations below).
This function is very convenient for making an audio CD from mastered materials, because
data between "Start point" and "End point" is automatically transferred to a CD-RW/CD-R disc.
Note that you cannot make an audio CD using the VF80 save function (described later) without
setting these two points.

The "Start point" and "End point" which have been automatically set can be checked after com-
pleting mastering by the following procedure.

<Note>
You can edit the "Start point" and "End point" be-
fore creating an audio CD, allowing adjustment
of intervals between songs.
We recommend to set the "Start point" and " End
point" of the new program created by the internal
mastering to desired times before creating an
audio CD.
After checking the "Start" and "End" points,
4
press the [EXIT/NO] key to quit the track edit
mode.
The display returns to the previous screen before
performing step 1.
See page 115 about how to make an audio CD from
mastered materials.
<Hint>
When recording more than one song continuously
to a CD-RW/CD-R disc, the VF80 automatically
record an approximately 2-second silence after each
END point.
