Assigning a new track number manually
You can assign a new track number manually by pressing
the
RECORD
key during recording.
However, you cannot create a track that is shorter than four
seconds.
NOTE
If you have recorded in WAV format on a CF card,
•
you can use editing functions to divide or join tracks
after recording (see “Dividing a file (DIVIDE)” on
page 56, “Combining files (COMBINE)“ on page 57).
Depending on the CompactFlash (CF) card used on
•
the unit, when recording MP3 files, incrementing
and creating many tracks in a short time period can
cause over flow (the unit shows the message OVER
FLOW on the screen), and the unit will stop operat-
ing.
To avoid such unexpected results, leave a
sufficient time gap after the previous track before
increment the track number.
Applying the compressor while recording
You can apply the SS-CDR1’s built-in compressor to the
recording source while you record.
A compressor is an effect that holds down peaks in the
audio, making the overall level more consistent and more
listenable.
You willl use the menu to turn the compressor on/off (for
details on menu operations, refer to “Operations in the
menu screens” on page 18).
