NOTE When you come to play back the disc on a CD player, the start of the gap will appear as Index 0 on the track following the gap, and the start of the track will appear as Index 1. Because the gap counts as a part of the track, the total length of the track and gap together cannot exceed 80 minutes. 12 When all the gaps have been set, press YES/ENTER. A pop-up asks if you are sure. Use the YES/ENTER key to proceed with writing the CD or the NO/EXIT key to cancel the operation. 13 When you press YES/ENTER, a disk image is made of each song in turn, which is then written to the CD. CD writing begins. The disc is finalized after writing is finished. CAUTION DO NOT TURN OFF the 2488neo while this writing operation is taking place. You will almost certainly spoil the disc and may corrupt the song data. NOTE During writing the CD-RW drive's eject button does not operate. You can only eject the disc after writing has finished. If you use a CD-RW disc, it may not be playable in audio CD players that are not designed to handle CD-RW discs Creating an audio CD using Live Writer When you want to make a CD of multiple pieces that have been recorded continuously, for example, a live performance recorded without break, the 2488neo allows you to split a single song into several CD tracks. In this kind of situation, the Live Writer function uses the marks placed in a song to split a master track into CD tracks when writing a disc. 3 Insert a blank CD-R/CD-RW disc, and press the YES/ENTER key. The LIVE WRITER screen opens and shows a list of CD track times calculated from the marks inserted in the current song. NOTE With this function, the disc is automatically finalized and you cannot add further tracks to the CD after it has been made. To make a CD from the currently loaded song using the Live Writer function: 1 Insert marks into a song with a recorded master track at the points where the CD track splits are to occur. ••Track lengths must be at least 4 seconds, so there must be at least 4 seconds between marks. ••You can insert up to 98 marks (allowing up to 99 tracks). 2 With the 2488neo stopped, select LIVE WRITER from the AUDIO CD menu, and press the YES/ ENTER key. The disc tray opens. 4 Press the YES/ENTER key unless there is a problem with this list. A confirmation message appears. 5 Press the YES/ENTER key again to start making the CD. When the CD is complete, the tray automatically opens, and a message appears asking if you want to make another copy of the CD. 6 If you do want to make another copy, insert a blank CD-R/CD-RW disc and press the YES/ENTER key. If you do not want to make another CD, press the NO/EXIT key. 77 TASCAM 2488neo

8 − Mastering and CD recorder

10 Use the

and

keys to move the cursor to the

gaps between the songs on the CD.

Use the dial to set the time in seconds between

songs, from 0.0 seconds (no gap) through 9.9

seconds in 0.1 second steps.

NOTE

When you come to play back the disc on a CD player,

the start of the gap will appear as Index 0 on the

track following the gap, and the start of the track

will appear as Index 1. Because the gap counts as a

part of the track, the total length of the track and gap

together cannot exceed 80 minutes.

When all the gaps have been set, press

YES/ENTER

A pop-up asks if you are sure. Use the

YES/ENTER

key to proceed with writing the CD or the

NO/EXIT

key to cancel the operation.

13 When you press

YES/ENTER

, a disk image is made of

each song in turn, which is then written to the CD.

CD writing begins.

The disc is finalized after writing is finished.

CAUTION

DO NOT TURN OFF the 2488neo while this writing

operation is taking place. You will almost certainly

spoil the disc and may corrupt the song data.

NOTE

During writing the CD-RW drive’s eject button does

not operate. You can only eject the disc after writing

has ﬁnished.

If you use a CD-RW disc, it may not be playable in

audio CD players that are not designed to handle

CD-RW discs

When you want to make a CD of multiple pieces that have

been recorded continuously, for example, a live perfor-

mance recorded without break, the 2488neo allows you to

split a single song into several CD tracks. In this kind of

situation, the Live Writer function uses the marks placed in

a song to split a master track into CD tracks when writing a

disc.

NOTE

With this function, the disc is automatically ﬁnalized

and you cannot add further tracks to the CD after it

has been made.

To make a CD from the currently loaded song using the

Live Writer function:

Insert marks into a song with a recorded master track

at the points where the CD track splits are to occur.

Track lengths must be at least 4 seconds, so there

•

must be at least 4 seconds between marks.

You can insert up to 98 marks (allowing up to

•

99 tracks).

With the 2488neo stopped, select LIVE WRITER

from the AUDIO CD menu, and press the

YES/

ENTER

key. The disc tray opens.

Insert a blank CD-R/CD-RW disc, and press the

YES/ENTER

key. The LIVE WRITER screen opens

and shows a list of CD track times calculated from

the marks inserted in the current song.

Press the

YES/ENTER

key unless there is a problem

with this list. A confirmation message appears.

Press the

YES/ENTER

key again to start making the

CD. When the CD is complete, the tray automati-

cally opens, and a message appears asking if you

want to make another copy of the CD.

If you do want to make another copy, insert a blank

CD-R/CD-RW disc and press the

YES/ENTER

key.

If you do not want to make another CD, press the

NO/EXIT

key.
