Copying and writing waveform data
5.
Use [CURSOR] and the TIME/VALUE dial to specify
the tracks you want to export.
fig.R16-11ad
If there are other tracks with the same settings (range,
location) that you want to export, move the cursor to the
following position, then make the settings with the
TIME/VALUE dial.
fig.R16-11d
The BR-1600CD is ready for selection of a new track.
Here, you cannot specify a track on top of another track
that has already been specified.
If you want to undo the specification of a track, rotate the
TIME/VALUE dial to the left and “?” appears.
Entries showing “?” are not exported.
By using the TIME/VALUE dial to select “*,” you can
specify that the operation apply to all tracks or all V-
tracks.
If you want the operation to apply to all V-tracks of all
tracks, select “*-*.”
6.
Move the cursor to “TYPE,” then rotate the TIME/
VALUE dial to select the file format you want to export.
fig.R16-11bd
TYPE:
WAV Exports data in WAV format (the format
mainly used with Windows).
AIFF Exports data in WAV format (the format
mainly used with Macintosh).
7.
Use [CURSOR] and the TIME/VALUE dial to set the
time range to be exported.
START (Start Point):
Specifies the export-source track’s start point.
END (End Point):
Specifies the export-source track’s end point.
8.
When you have finished making the settings, press [F4]
(GO).
The message “Write Speed?” appears.
fig.R16-93d
9.
Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial to set the write speed.
Write Speed:
x2 (352 Kbps) Writes twice as fast.
x4 (704 Kbps) Writes four times as fast.
x8 (1408 Kbps) Writes eight times as fast.
10.
Press [ENTER/YES].
The message “Write Sure?” appears.
To cancel, press [EXIT/NO].
11.
Press [ENTER/YES] again.
Writing to the CD-R/RW disc begins.
When “Complete!” appears, the writing is finished.
The following files will have been written to the CD-R/
RW disc in ISO9660 Level 2, Mode 1 format.
Track 1, V-Track 1 T01___01.WAV or T01___01.AIF
Track 1, V-Track 2 T01___02.WAV or T01___02.AIF
Track 1, V-Track 3 T01___03.WAV or T01___03.AIF
• At this time, press [F1] (DISP.FMT.) to switch
between ways to specify the location (measures,
time, markers).
• If, after specifying the above parameters in terms of
location you switch to the measure or marker
indication, a “+” may appear if a discrepancy
between the indicated position and the actual
position arises. When using measures or markers to
make the specification, you can use the TIME/
VALUE dial in the respective screen to eliminate the
discrepancy.
• If you want the export range to be from the
beginning of the waveform data to the end, press
[F3] (SELECT ALL).
With some media, the range of write speeds may be
limited. In such cases, the values that can be set with
the TIME/VALUE dial may also be limited.
