Recording Procedure for Audio CD
1. If you are creating an Audio CD with multiple tracks, set your Gap value to
determine how long the silence will be between tracks. See page 12 for a
description of how to set the Gap value.
2. Determine the input level of your recording. This can be done by playing a
sample of your input audio. The input meter will show the level of the audio.
If your audio source volume is too low, the meter may show little or no activity.
In that case, you should increase your input volume by pressing the Vol Up
button. If your audio source volume is too high, the meter will indicate this by
displaying an asterisk ( * ) as the right bar symbol, and the input volume should
be reduced by pressing the Vol Down button.
Once you have your input volume set for your particular source, you are ready to
record.
3. Start playing your source. If you are recording a live session, wait for the
program to begin.
4. Press Record on the CopyWriter Live. This will start the recording. If your
recording is longer than 1 CD, it will span to the second disc. The second CD
will start to record up to 30 seconds before the first CD ends, so this amount of
time will be recorded on both discs. Once the second disc is full, it will span back
to the first CD, assuming you have a blank disc in the drive.
5. Recording volume from the input can be changed during recording by using the
Vol Up and Vol Down buttons.
6. Press the Record button to start creating your next track immediately. You can
have up to 99 tracks on a single CD.
7. Pressing Disc Change during the recording process will switch the recording
from the original drive to the other drive, provided that it contains a blank disc.
The disc in the original drive will be closed automatically.
8. Press the Pause button to pause the recording process. Press Record to begin
recording again to a new track. Note that you cannot start the next track until the
last track information has been completed, during which time the display will read
Close Track. Recording can begin again once that message clears.
While paused, the input selection can be changed.
9. Press and hold the STOP button for 2 seconds while recording live to finalize
the disc. The disc MUST be finalized in order to play the CD in any other
system. If the Pause button was used to end the last recorded track, the disc has
not been finalized and you will need to do so from the CD Tools menu before the
disc will be playable (see pg 11, CD Tools: Close Disc).
Playing a Disc
1. Confirm you have your Audio Out connected to a playback device (Audio
Receiver, etc.) or have headphones connected to the front panel.
2. Place the disc you wish to play back into either of the CD-R/W drives.
3. Press the Play button on the front panel.
4. Use the playback buttons on the front panel to control playback. If using
headphones, adjust the volume using the knob next to the headphone jack.
