Additional master track
Separately from the normal record/play tracks (1 – 10),
there is a stereo master track. The signal recorded on this
pair of tracks is the same as supplied at the [OUTPUT]
jacks.
For example, you could use tracks 1 – 10 and the rhythm
section (drum kit + bass program) as sources for bouncing
onto the master track, which serves as a dedicated
mixdown track.
The master track again comprises 10 V-takes, letting you
create multiple versions of a final mix. Later, you can
compare the versions and pick the best one.
●
Creating an audio CD
Using the CD-R/RW drive, you can write the master track
of one or several projects to a CD-R/CD-RW disc to create
an audio CD. Audio data for up to 99 songs can be stored
on a single CD-R/CD-RW disc, provided there is enough
space on the disc.
An audio CD created in this way can be played on a regular
CD player after the finalizing operation has been
performed.
Because the MRS-1044CD model incorporates a
CD-R/RW drive, an audio CD can be created
without any external equipment.
To create an audio CD with the MRS-1044
model, the separately available SCSI Interface
Board SIB-01 and an external CD-R/RW drive
are required.
●
Project backup/restore
You can copy selected projects or all projects from the hard
disk of the MRS-1044 to media such as a CD-R/CD-RW
disc, ZIP disk, MO disk, or to another hard disk for
backup. Stored data can be read back (restored) to the
MRS-1044 series at any time.
When using CD-R/CD-RW discs or other removable media
such as MO or ZIP, large projects can be split to span
multiple volumes for backup and restore.
With the MRS-1044CD model, connection of an
external ZIP drive, MO drive, or hard disk
requires the separately available SCSI Interface
Board SIB-01, but backup/restore using CD-
R/CD-RW discs can be performed with the
integrated drive.
With the MRS-1044 model, connection of an
external ZIP drive, MO drive, hard disk, or CD-
R/RW drive requires the separately available
SCSI Interface Board SIB-01.
●
V-take trimming
A new option is added to the track edit menu, allowing fine
adjustment of V-take start position and end position. For
example, when creating an audio CD, silent passages at the
start or end of the V-take can be cut.
