Methods for creating audio CDs
The BR-1200CD allows you to create audio CDs in three
different ways.
Track At Once:
With Track At Once, only the currently loaded song is
written to the audio CD. If you want to include other
songs on your CD, they will each have to be loaded and
written in sequence. When you use this method,
individual songs can be added to a disc one at a time
until it is full. However, the repetitive writing of
individual tracks in this way can be considerably time
consuming, especially when you are compiling an album
or any other type of audio CD with more than two or
three songs.
Disc At Once By Song
The Disc At Once By Song method allows you to write a
number of different songs selected from the BR-
1200CD’s hard disk to an audio CD in a single process.
In this way, album creation and other similar operations
can be carried out much more conveniently. However, it
will not be possible to subsequently add other songs to a
disc that has been created using this method. As a result,
a considerable amount of disc memory could be wasted
if only a few songs are written.
Disc At Once By Marker
With this method, you can place markers at the desired
positions in a long audio track to divide the track into
different sections and can write each of these sections to
an audio CD as a different song. A typical example of
this type of long track would be a continuous live
performance recorded over an hour or more. Say this
performance included five songs, you could place
markers at the beginning of each song to ensure that,
once created, the audio CD would appear on a CD
player as containing five different songs.
