About start and end points, Hint – Fostex VF08 User Manual
Page 7
As described earlier, the starting and ending times of internal mastering are automatically regis-
tered as
"Start point"
and
"End point"
respectively, which can be used for track editing (copy, move
and erase) for the newly created program (see the illustrations below).
This function is very convenient for making an audio CD from mastered materials, because data
between
"Start point"
and
"End point"
is automatically transferred to a CD-RW/CD-R disc.
Note that you cannot make an audio CD using the VF08 save function (described later) without
setting these two points.
The
"Start point"
and
"End point"
which have been automatically set can be checked after completing
mastering by the following procedure.
1. Press the [TRACK EDIT/PGM] key while the VF08
is stopped.
The display shows the screen for track editing, where
"Copy Paste"
flashes.
2. Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the screen for selecting an original
and destination tracks for copy/paste.
3. Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.
The display shows the screen for selecting edit points,
in which you can check
"Start"
and
"End"
points that
hold the beginning and end points of the recording
respectively (pointed by arrows below).
4. After checking the "Start" and "End" points, press
the [EXIT/NO] key to quit the track edit mode.
The display returns to the previous screen before
performing step 1.
See page 14 about how to make an audio CD from
mastered materials.
When recording more than one song continu-
ously to a CD-RW/CD-R disc, the VF08 auto-
matically record an approximately 2-second
silence after each END point.
You can edit the
"Start point"
and
"End point"
be-
fore creating an audio CD, allowing adjustment
of intervals between songs.
We recommend to set the
"Start point"
and "
End
point"
of the new program created by the inter-
nal mastering to desired times before creating
an audio CD.
