Fostex VF160EX operation manual 128, Details of Event Enable setting

<Details of Event Enable setting>

The Event Enable setting selects enabling or disabling events registered between the Clipboard In and Out points of a material which is internally mastered for creating an audio CD.

Normally, when mastering a song using the internal mixdown function, the Clipboard In and Out points are automatically set (see the figure below). The Clip- board In point acts as "event" at the beginning of the song. By default, the "Event Enable" is set to "ON" (enabled). Therefore, when recording to a CD-R/RW disc, the VF160EX recognizes the material between the Clipboard In and Out points as a song (track).

mastered song

However, if a mastered song has any event(s) (be- sides the Clipboard In point), set "Event Enable" to "OFF". Note that the Clipboard In point is always rec- ognized as "EVT 00" regardless of the "Event Enable" setting. The figure below shows the example of a mas- tered song which has events.

If you record a song which has events (as above) to a CD-R/RW disc while "Event Enable" is set to "ON", the song is divided into tracks by events (see the fig- ure below).

Therefore, when creating an audio CD from a mas- tered song which has any event(s), make sure that "Event Enable" is set to "OFF", in order to ignore the event(s) except the Clipboard In point (EVT 00) and prevent the song from being divided into tracks.

			Track 3 (CD03)	C
			Track 4 (CD04)	D

<"Event Enable" should also be set to "OFF" in such a case!>

Let's assume that there are two programs; program 1 and program 2. The material in program 1 has events, while the material in program 2 does not (as shown in figure below).

If you make an audio CD from these two materials, burn a disc with "Event Enable" set to "OFF". In result, you can make an audio CD containing two tracks (ignoring events on program 1).

If you burn a disc with "Event Enable" set to "ON", program 1 is divided into four tracks. In result, a CD contain- ing five tracks (four from program 1 and one from program 2) is made.

<"Event Enable" should be set to "ON" in such a case!>

When loading more than one track from an audio CD you made to the VF160EX hard disk, all the tracks are loaded onto a single program (see "Loading from an audio CD" on the next page for details), in which a event is automatically set to the beginning of each track.

When making an audio CD from a program which has been loaded from an audio CD and contains more than one track, set "Event Enable" to "ON". This allows making a CD which contains the same number of tracks as the number of tracks loaded from an audio CD.
