Chapter 13 CD-RW and Mastering

Writing Songs to CD-R Discs

You can create a CD using a CD-RW disc, but it is impossible to play back audio data recorded on a CD-RW disc using most CD players, even if the disc is finalized. Audio data recorded on a CD-RW disc can be played back using the “CD Player Function” (p. 191) on the VS-1824. Consider using a CD-R disc instead of a CD-RW disc—CD-R discs can be played back on a wider variety of CD players.

1.

Make sure that the CD-R/CD-RW drive is properly connected (see p. 194).

2.Place a blank CD-R disc in the CD-R/CD-RW drive.

For details refer to the column “Inserting a CD” (see p. 234).

3.Press [CD-RW/MASTERING].

4.Press [F2 (CD Wt)].

5.“CD-R Write Ready ?” appears in the display. Press [ENTER/YES].

6.“Store Current ?” appears in the display. Press [ENTER/YES]. If you don’t want to save any changes made to the current song, press [EXIT/NO].

If the CD-RW disc you are using contains data, “Erase?” appears in the display. To erase the existing data, press [ENTER/YES]. “Erase Disc” appears and all the contents of the CD-RW disc are erased. If you do not wish to erase the data, press [EXIT/NO], and insert a new disc.

When erase is finished, “Can’t be played back with Audio CD player” appears in the display. This is to confirm that regular audio CD players cannot play back an audio CD made with a CD-RW disc. Press [ENTER/ YES]. Or press [EXIT/NO] to cancel the procedure.

7.Wait a moment for the CD-R Writer display to appear. Press [F1 (SelTr)].

8.Select the left and right tracks from the VS-1824 that you

want written to the CD-R. Use [ ], [ ], [ ],

and [ ] and the TIME/VALUE dial to move the cursor to the V-Track you want written as the left channel of the CD-R, and press [F3 (Sel L)]. Move the cursor to the V-Track you want written as the right channel of the CD-R and press [F4 (Sel R)].

You can use [ ], and [ ] to jump from track to track, and then use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the desired V-Track.

9.Press [F1 (Back)].
