2) Make sure the CDR media is on the list of approved media of

this drive. We have tested many types of CDR media, and the
results are posted on our web site at http://www.tascam.com.
The list is kept on the site so it may be kept as up to date as
possible. For convenience, we have
included the list on your CD-R624M
software CD. Keep in mind that it will
be updated from time to time on our
web site.

3) While the CD-Recorder is recording, make sure the CDR drive

is not agitated. (If you write as vigorously as I do, even writing
the jewel case insert on the same table as the CD-Recorder is
on could shake the unit enough.) CD Recording requires
much more stability than reading. When reading a CD, players
can take several passes at the data stream if the tracking is lost.
However, CD-Recorders do not have this luxury. They are
recording the information on the CD, and need to do so
precisely the first time.

The system is testing too slow for 6x recording speeds. -

Chances are there is more processing going on than just your CD
authoring software.

1) If your computer has a lot of applications running in the

background, this can substantially slow the efficiency of your
system. (Common culprits are likely to be anti-virus software,
screen savers, or advanced network applications.) These can
be temporarily disabled to dedicate more processing
horsepower to the CD authoring software.

2) In recent years, large disk drives have become more and more

affordable, but often the drives many stores advertise are quite
slow. If the drive is too slow, then you’ll have to try optimizing
your drive.

SFX Machine doesn’t show up in Peak LE. - The Plug-Ins

folder of Peak LE is probably not set-up properly.

1) Make sure you installed SFX Machine Lite. (SFX Machine Lite

has its own installer.)

2) Make sure SFX Machine Lite is in the Plug-Ins folder inside the

application for Peak LE. Also, be sure you do not have multiple
copies of Peak LE on your computer. SFX Machine Lite must
be in the Plug-Ins folder that is in the same folder as the current
Peak LE application.

3) Peak LE can only support up to 3 plug-ins at a time. If there are

more than 3 plug-ins in the Plug-Ins folder, then some of the
others must be removed, and Peak LE must be restarted.
