Roland 24 bit Digital Studio Workstation VS-890 - Manual (Page 121)

Creating an Original Audio CD (CD-R Write)
Then "Disc at Once ?" or "Track at Once ?" appears in the
display. Press PARAMETER [ ◄◄ ] or [ ►► ] to select how
the data will be written, and press [YES (ENTER)].
Disc at Once
The song data and the track number markers attached to the song data will
be written to the CD-R disc widrout change. However, additional song data
cannot be added later to a CD-R disc that was written using Disc at Once. (It
will be in the same condition as if Finalize had been performed.)
Track at Once
Two seconds of silence will automatically be written to the CD-R disc before
each track number marker attached to the song data. (This is the same
condition as when additional songs are written to the disc later.) When
Track at Once is used for waiting to a CD-R disc, you can continue writing
additional song data up until Finalize is executed.
For example, if you have
assigned track numbers to
a medley of songs. Disc at
Once would be the
appropriate choice. This is
because Track at Once
would add approximately
two seconds of silence,
which would cause the
playback to sound
fragmented.
if you use the CD-RW disc,
you cannot choose "Track
at Once" upon writing.
If you select "Track at Once," press PARAMETER [ ] or
[ ►► ] to select whether or not the finalize is carried out, press
[YES (ENTER)]. A TOC (Table Of Contents) will be written so
that the audio CD created by the VS-890 can be playback on a
standard CD player. It is not possible to write additional data
to an audio CD that has been finalized.
Write+Finalize ?: Write the song, and then finalize.
Write w/o Fin. ?: Write only the song, and do not finalize.
Finalize ?: Only finalize without wanting the song. Select this if you
have inserted a CD-R disc to which you have already
written songs, but which has not yet been finalized.

"Qossary" p. 13)
Finalize
"Finalize" means to write the TOC (Table Of Contents) to the
audio CD created by the VS-890.
If a CD-R disc has not been finalized, additional songs can be
written to the unused area of that disc. However, such a disc
cannot be playback on a conventional CD player. An unfinalized
CD-R disc can be auditioned using the VS-890's CD Player
function.
A finalized CD-R disc can be playback on a conventional CD
player in the same w’ay as a commercial pre-recorded audio CD.
However it will no longer be possible to record additional songs,
even if there is unused space on that disc.
