Introduction
The CDR420 HD/CD Recorder is a professional
recorder. You record directly to the built-in Hard Disc
(HD) from digital or analog inputs.
Recording to the built-in Hard Disc (HD) provides a
number of advantages:
• Over 30 hours (PCM) or 1400 hours (MP3) of
recording storage capacity permits long recording
times.
• Recordings on the HD are in digital form and can
be transferred to your computer for editing.
• Recordings can be edited in the CDR420 itself.
• More stable than directly recording to a CD.
(If recording is done directly to a CD-R a disc error can inter-
rupt the recording session.)
• Automatically records the time and date.
• Automatically names the recording fi le by the time
and date recording begins.
• You can change the fi le name later if desired, or
while recording using an attached keyboard.
• PCM recordings on the CDR420 can be burned to
an AUDIO CD (CD-DA).
• A multi-session CD (EXTRA) can also record
fi le information tags (text fi les-.txt) that can be
read by your computer.
• PCM and/or MP3 recordings on the CDR420 can
be burned to a DATA CD.
• Unattended Record Timer lets you preset the date
and time for a recording to begin and how long to
record.
Editing on the CDR420
The CDR420 enables you to “assemble” a CD from
audio fi les recorded on the HD.
The CDR420 can convert PCM tracks to MP3.
You can scrub (forward and reverse over a portion of a
track to locate and mark the beginning and end points
of a passage) to select a passage for editing. Editing
audio on the HD
models
the common procedures used
to edit text in a word processing application: mark an
audio passage (highlight text), cut (cut text) [delete
the audio segment and move it to the clipboard], copy
(copy text) [non-destructively copy the audio segment
to the clipboard], and paste (paste text) [copy the audio
segment on the clipboard to a new location within the
track].
When your edited fi le is complete you can write the
fi le to a standard CD or MP3 data disc.
