Fostex VF160EX operation manual Hint, At ABS 06M 00S 00F

<Hint>

When internal mixdown is completed, the starting and editing times of the mixdown are registered as “CLIP- BOARD IN point” and “CLIPBOARD OUT point” respectively (see the illustrations below).

This is because, when making an audio CD from the mixed-down material, data between “CLIPBOARD IN point” and “CLIPBOARD OUT point” is automatically recorded.

Regardless of the starting point of mixdown, only the data between “CLIPBOARD IN point” and “CLIPBOARD OUT point” is recorded when making an audio CD. In other words, you cannot make an audio CD without setting these two points.

CLIPBOARD IN point		CLIPBOARD OUT point
When internal mixdown starts from “ABS 0” and ends at	ABS 0	ABS 05M 00S 00F
“ABS 05M 00S 00F”.

However, if you make an audio CD from the material whose actual audio starts from the exact “CLIPBOARD IN point”, there will be no silence before starting audio.

If you want to make a CD which have a silence before actual audio starts, move back the mixed-down data for a few seconds as shown in Figure-2, or move ahead the “CLIPBOARD IN point” for a few seconds as shown in Figure-3.

<Note>

If you burn more than one mastered material which does not have "silent space" at the beginning and the end to a CD-R/RW disc, an audio CD that has no silent space between adjacent tracks is created. Therefore, in such a case, create a silent space by either of the methods shown above. See the explanation from the next page for details about the actual operations.

<Note>

When you move data as shown in Figure-2, the “CLIPBOARD IN point” is not changed, while the “CLIPBOARD OUT point” moves (as shown in Fig-

ure-4).

If you record data to a CD-RW or CD-R disc with- out changing the CLIPBOARD OUT point, data between the CLIPBOARD IN and OUT points is recorded but data between the CLIPBOARD OUT and REC END points are not recorded.

Therefore, you have to set the “CLIPBOARD OUT point” to the same point as the “REC END point” or latter point.
