Creating an audio CD from WAVE files

sampled to hard disk

This section explains how you can create an audio CD by specifying the desired order of WAVE files on the hard disk.

As described in “Resampling the song playback to create a WAVE file on the hard drive” (☞p.116), a song you cre- ated in Sequencer mode can be sampled to the hard disk to create a WAVE file.

To do this, the CDRW-1 option (☞PG p.286) must be installed or an external CD-R/RW drive must be con- nected to the SCSI connector (☞PG p.298).

In order to write data to CD-R/RW media, the drive containing the WAVE files must have at least as much free space as the WAVE files. Before you execute this procedure, make sure that the drive containing the WAVE files has sufficient free space.

1Access the Disk mode Make Audio CD page.

In the default state, the WAVE File area will show only “====End====.”

2To the track list, add the WAVE files that you want to write to the CD.

Select “====End====” (it will be highlighted), and press the Insert button.

The Insert Track dialog box will appear.

Use drive select and the Open and Up buttons to access the directory that contains the WAVE file, and select the WAVE file that you want to add to the list.

If you want to audition the file, you can press the SAM- PLING [START/STOP] key to play back the sample.

If you have selected a WAVE file of a sampling fre- quency other than 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, it will not be possible to press the Insert button.

WAVE files at a sampling frequency of 48 kHz will be converted to 44.1 kHz when they are written to an audio CD (when you execute “Write to CD”).

To add the file, press the Insert button.

You can continue adding files until you press the Exit button. The files will be added to the track list in the order in which you selected them. If you want to add all the WAVE files in the directory, press the Insert All button.

When you have finished adding files to the list, press the Exit button to close the dialog box.

Notice that the WAVE files have been added to the track list.

In this page as well, you can select a WAVE file and press the SAMPLING [START/STOP] key to play back the sample.

To add other WAVE files to the track list, press the Insert button once again.

If you want to add another track, select the WAVE file that follows the track you want to add. If you want to add the track to the end of the track list, select “====End====.” Then press the Insert button.

To delete a WAVE file from the track list, select the WAVE file that you want to delete, and press the Cut button.

Subsequent tracks will be moved forward in the list.

For details on editing operations such as Clear and Swap Track, refer to PG p.173.

3Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disk into the drive.

Use the Make Audio CD page drive select area to select your CD-R/RW drive.

If you are using the CDRW-1 option, the drive select area will indicate “CDD: Blank Disc.”

If you are using a SCSI-connected CD-R/RW drive, the display will indicate “ID*:Blank Disc.” (* will be the SCSI ID number.)

An audio CD cannot be created on a disc that con- tains data other than audio (e.g., files). In this case, it will not be possible to select the page menu com- mands “Write to CD” or “Finalize Audio CD.”

Even when the recommended CD-R/RW media is used, some audio CD players may be unable to play back the disc. Also, since some audio CD players are unable to play back CD-RW media, we recommend that you use CD-R media.
