2)Make sure the CDR media is on the list of approved media of this drive. We have tested many types of CDR media, and the results are posted on our web site at http://www.tascam.com. The list is kept on the site so it may be kept as up to date as possible. For convenience, we have

included the list on your CD-R624M software CD. Keep in mind that it will be updated from time to time on our web site.

3)While the CD-Recorder is recording, make sure the CDR drive is not agitated. (If you write as vigorously as I do, even writing the jewel case insert on the same table as the CD-Recorder is on could shake the unit enough.) CD Recording requires much more stability than reading. When reading a CD, players can take several passes at the data stream if the tracking is lost. However, CD-Recorders do not have this luxury. They are recording the information on the CD, and need to do so precisely the first time.

The system is testing too slow for 6x recording speeds. -

Chances are there is more processing going on than just your CD authoring software.

1)If your computer has a lot of applications running in the background, this can substantially slow the efficiency of your system. (Common culprits are likely to be anti-virus software, screen savers, or advanced network applications.) These can be temporarily disabled to dedicate more processing horsepower to the CD authoring software.

2)In recent years, large disk drives have become more and more affordable, but often the drives many stores advertise are quite slow. If the drive is too slow, then you’ll have to try optimizing your drive.

SFX Machine doesn’t show up in Peak LE. - The Plug-Ins

folder of Peak LE is probably not set-up properly.

1)Make sure you installed SFX Machine Lite. (SFX Machine Lite has its own installer.)

2)Make sure SFX Machine Lite is in the Plug-Ins folder inside the application for Peak LE. Also, be sure you do not have multiple copies of Peak LE on your computer. SFX Machine Lite must be in the Plug-Ins folder that is in the same folder as the current Peak LE application.

3)Peak LE can only support up to 3 plug-ins at a time. If there are more than 3 plug-ins in the Plug-Ins folder, then some of the others must be removed, and Peak LE must be restarted.
