MD Recorded a Editing

Dividing a Track (Divide)

After recording, you can divide a track in two by marking a new track number at any point you want to access. This is especially useful when you record from an analog source (etc.) and several songs are recorded as a single track number, or when you want access to a certain point in the middle of a track. When you divide a track, the total number of tracks on the MD increases by one and all tracks following the divided track are renumbered automatically.

Example: Dividing track 2 to create individual track numbers for B and C.
