Reference [Creating a CD]

This section describes how to use the CD-R/RW drive in the MRS-1608 to create an audio CD or store a project from the

hard disk onto a CD-R/RW disc.

NOTE

• This section does not apply to MRS-1608 models without integrated CD-R/RW drive.

• Mixed-mode CDs or copy-controlled CDs cannot be played or read.

The MRS-1608 lets you write the contents of the master

track of any project to a CD-R/RW disc in CD-DA (audio

data) format. The result is an audio CD that can be played

in a CD player.

There are two ways of writing audio data on a CD-R/RW

disc, as described below.

●

Writing by project

This method writes the master track of a single project to

the disc. When using this method, it is possible to add

audio data later, until the CD-R/RW disc has been

ﬁnalized.

●

Writing by album

This method involves ﬁrst creating a list for the audio CD

(called an “album”) which contains information about

master tracks from various projects that are to be

included. The CD-R/RW is then written in one operation,

and ﬁnalizing is automatically performed, so that no

more audio data can be added later.

HINT

“Finalizing” a CD-R/RW disc refers to the procedure of

making it playable on an ordinary CD player besides the

MRS-1608. After it has been ﬁnalized, no more data can be

added to a CD-R/CD-RW disc.

NOTE

• The waveform data of the currently selected V-take of the

master track are recorded as is on the audio CD. To cut off

blank portions before or after the audio material, you can use

the trimming function (

→

p. 52).

• If the V-take is less than 4 seconds long, the master track

cannot be written.

When creating an audio CD, you can select either CD-R

or CD-RW discs as media. The features of the two disc

types are described below.

●

CD-R

This media type allows only one-time recording or

adding of data. Once data have been written, they cannot

be changed or erased. CD-R discs are typically available

in 650 MB and 700 MB capacities.

To newly write audio data of the MRS-1608 to disc, a

blank CD-R is required. As long as the disc has not been

ﬁnalized, it is possible to add further audio data up to the

maximum capacity of the disc. After being ﬁnalized, the

disc can be played on an ordinary CD player.

●

CD-RW

This media type allows recording, adding, and bulk-

erasing of data. CD-RW discs are also typically available

in 650 MB and 700 MB capacities.

To newly write audio data of the MRS-1608 to disc, a

blank or completely erased CD-RW is required. As long

as the disc has not been ﬁnalized, it is possible to add

audio data up to the maximum capacity of the disc. Even

when ﬁnalized, some CD players may not be able to play

CD-RW discs.

NOTE

When using commercially available pre-formatted CD-RW

discs, perform an erase operation ﬁrst, as described on page

159.
