4 – DP-02 Appendix

Making an audio CD

On the DP-02, a song’s master stereo track can be written to a CD-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-02 are written all at once.

DAO finalized the disc when it’s finished (see “Finalizing CDs” on page 68), 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-02 are written to the CD on a track-by-track basis.

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 DP-02).

After all of the desired master stereo tracks have been written by TAO, finalize the disc (“Finalizing CDs” on page 68).

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

Writing by Disk At Once (DAO)

With DAO, 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.

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

2.Press the CD key to bring up the MASTER WRITE menu and enter.

3.A list of songs that have master tracks is displayed.

An asterisk (Ú) is displayed to the right of a song to show the current song.

Use the cursor (§/) keys to select a song and rotate the DATA dial clockwise to confirm the song to write to the CD. A “” mark appears on the check box.

Repeat this action for multiple selection.

To deselect the selection, highlight the song and rotate the DATA dial counterclockwise. The check mark disappears.

4.When you have decided on the songs to write, press the YES/ENTER key.

In this screen, you can set the order in which the master stereo tracks are to be written to the CD.

5.Select the song whose order is to be changed using the §/keys or DATA dial, and press the ˙ key to bring up the following display:

Use the cursor (§/) keys or DATA dial to change the order of the song. The selected song moves up or down with the mark () at the head of the song title.

When there are two or more songs whose order is to be changed, repeat this operation.

When you have changed the song order, press the YES/ENTER key. The display returns to the WRITE

SONG LIST.
