DP-01FX/CD Appendix

Making an audio CD

On the DP-01FX/CD, a song's master stereo track can be written to

aCD-R or CD-RW (see “Mastering” on page 27), and this master recording can be burned to CD for audio CD playback.

There are two ways of making a CD:

Disk At Once (simply called "DAO" from here on)

Track At Once (simply called "TAO" from here on)

In the DAO recording, master stereo tracks recorded on the DP are written all at once.

DAO finalized the disc when it's finished (see “Finalizing CDs” on page 75), making the CD compatible with other CD players immediately after writing by DAO has ended.

With DAO, additional tracks cannot be written to the CD because it creates a finalized disc.

In the TAO recording, master stereo tracks recorded on the DP/CD are written to the CD on a trackby

If you want to write tracks to a CD over several sessions, choose the TAO recording.

Since TAO does not finalize the CD, this CD cannot be played back on a regular CD player (it can be played on the DPFX/CD).

After all of the desired master stereo tracks have been written by TAO, finalize the disc (“Finalizing CDs” on page 75).

Additional tracks cannot be written to the CD after finalization has ended.

Writing by Disk At Once

With Disk At Once, the track order can be set when writing two or more tracks.

A silent gap of any desired length can also be added between tracks.

1Insert a blank CD-R or an erased CD-RW into the CD tray.
