10.Verify that the Length M (Megabyte) value is less than the value for IDE Free. (This step does not apply if your image file has already been created.)

11.Verify that the Length M value is less than the value for Free (the amount of free space on the CD).

Source Track Length (in Mbyte) compared to Free Disc Space on CD-R/CD-RW

The amount of drive space source tracks occupy on the VS-1824 may not be the same amount of disc space it occupies on a CD-R/CD-RW disc. The track size on the VS-1824 varies depending on the number of tracks and recording mode used. You can make a rough estimate of the space required on a CD-R/CD-RW disc for a track to be written by using the following calculation:

Source track length (in seconds) x 2 (bytes) x 2 (stereo tracks) x 44,100 = SIZE (bytes)

For example, a source track that is 60 minutes long (3,600 seconds) occupies:

3,600 x 2 x 2 x 44,1000 = 635,040,000 bytes = 635 MB

Finalize

A TOC (Table Of Contents) will be written so that the audio CD created by the VS-1824 can be played back on a standard CD player. It is possible to write additional data to an audio CD that has been finalize.

Off: Write only the song, and do not finalize.

On: Write the song, and then finalize.

OnlyFin: Only finalize without writing the song. Select this if you have inserted a CD-R disc to which you have already written songs, but which has not yet been finalized.

Write Method

Track at Once:

Two seconds of silence is automatically added to the CD-R disc before the markers placed in the song to designate the track number (the same condition as when writing additional songs).

You can write additional songs to a CD-R disc written using Track at Once, as much as the available space on the disc allows.

Disc at Once:

The song and the track number markers added to the song are written as is to the CD-R disc. However, additional songs cannot be written to CD-R discs that have been written using Disc at Once (the same state as when finalize has been executed).

Even if “Finalize” has been set to “Off,” once you write a song yo a CD-R disc with “Disc at Once” selected, additional material can no longer be written to that disc.

CD Speed

x4: The song will be written at quadruple speed (706 kilobytes per second).

x2: The song will be written at double speed (353 kilobytes per second).

The available speeds will depend on the Roland- approved CD drive connected to the VS-1824.
