Checking the number of track events (“NOs Event ?” menu)

The “Checking the number of track events” menu enables you to check the number of events on each track. Each track (including Additional tracks) of recorder Programs consists of consecutive audio files (and “zero” files). The number of events represents the total number of audio files and 0 files. Each track can contain up to 512 events.

If you are editing a song of typical length (about six minutes), repeated editing operation does not usually cause this maximum number to be exceeded. (Exceeding this limit is called “event number overflow.”) Even a 20- minute song will not cause event number overflow. This is because the recorder system always optimizes the data structure by keeping the number of events low. However, if a recording on a track is scattered in different areas of the disk, or if you have made a very long recording on a single track and performed many edits, you should be wary of “event number overflow.” To avoid this problem, use the “Checking the number of track events” menu to check the number of events on each track prior to recording or editing.

Checking the number of track events

1.While the recorder is stopped, press the [SETUP] key to enter SETUP mode.

2.Turn the [JOG] dial to select “NOs Event?” (“?” flashes), and then press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The screen changes as follows, indicating the number of events on track 1. (In this example, track 1 includes five events.)
