Chapter-5 Recording - Fostex CR500 Owner's Manual

This chapter describes how to record audio data using the CR500.
The CR500 can record audio to a BWF formatted or CD-DA formatted disc. To a BWF
formatted disc, you can record WAV audio files. You can then export files to a Windows
computer after closing the disc. To a CD-DA formatted disc, you can record audio tracks.
After finalizing a CD-DA formatted disc, you can play it back by a normal CD player or
export tracks to a Windows or Mac OS computer.
<Note>: With a BWF formatted disc, each time you make recording, an "audio
file" is created. You can make up to 97 audio files on a disc as long as there is disc
remaining space (note that closing the disc affects the maximum number of
recordable audio files).
With a CD-DA formatted disc, each time you make recording, an "audio track" is
created. You can make up to 99 audio tracks on a disc as long as there is disc
remaining space.
