Writing Additional Songs To The Disc; Arranging And Writing Multiple Songs To Disc - Roland VS-1680 Owner's Manual

Chapter 7 Use with a CD-R Drive

Writing Additional Songs to the Disc

To the extent that any remaining free space allows,
you can add songs to CD-R discs that have not yet
been finalized. Repeat the procedure described in
"Writing Songs to CD-R Discs" (p. 121).
Here you can insert approximately two seconds of
blank space between the new song and the song before
it. The track number is also recorded automatically.

Arranging and Writing Multiple Songs
to Disc
By sequencing a number of songs on one track, you
can arrange those songs and write them to a CD-R
disc. In this case, by presetting markers at the song
boundaries to function as track numbers, you can
write track numbers like those used in ordinary audio
CDs, using the CD-R drive to write an audio CD. If
desired, then carry out the following procedure.
* The Song Combine (p. 173) and Track Import (p. 92)
features can be used to arrange multiple songs onto the
current song.

Determining Song Boundaries (Track
Number)
1. While listening to the song, move the track num-
ber to the location in the song you want. If called
for, we recommend the use of the preview and
scrub functions (p. 154).

* You cannot set markers for four seconds from the top of
songs ("00h00m00s00").
* Due to audio CD standards, songs must be at least four
seconds long. Thus, if you try to set two markers as track
numbers within four seconds of each other, "Can't Set
Marker" appears on the display, and the process cannot be
carried out. Reset the track number markers so there is an
interval greater than four seconds between them.
* Audio CD standards allow up to 99 songs to be stored on
one disc. Furthermore, even if no track number marker is
set at the beginning of the song, it is still used for the
beginning of the first song. Thus, you can set up to 98
markers as track numbers.
