• writing all of the tracks in a single CD-burning process —When you’ve created
mastering tracks that contain all of a CD’s selections positioned as you want them,
you can burn the entire “Disk at Once,” as this method’s called, or “DAO” for short.
Finalizing
Before a CD can be played on an ordinary CD player, certain important information
must be written onto the CD, including track numbers and a Table of Contents, or
“TOC.” This last step in the CD-creation process is called “finalizing.” Until then, the
CD can be played only on your VS-2000 or another Roland V-Studio with a CD-R/RW
drive—see “The CD Player Feature” on Page 368.
Once a CD-R’s been finalized, no more audio can be added to it—you can erase a CD-
RW and start over. You can finalize a CD during the CD creation process. To finalize a
CD without adding audio, use the procedure on Page 364, setting Finalize to OnlyFin.
Making Sure You Have Enough Space
Before burning an audio CD, you’ll want to make sure your audio is going to fit on the
blank CD-R or CD-RW. In addition, if your mastering tracks were created using any
recording mode other than CDR mode, the VS-2000 will need the same amount of free
space on your hard drive to create the necessary disk image file (Page 356) during the
CD-burning process.
Before starting the CD-burning process, figure out how much free space is available on
your internal hard drive:
1. Hold down SHIFT and press F1—the VS-2000 scans your connected drives and
displays information about each drive.
The VS-2000 can use any free space on your internal hard drive for the creation of a
disk image, not just the currently selected drive, or partition.
2. Add up all of the free space left on your IDE drives. This is the amount of free space
you have available.
Once you’ve started burning the CD, the CD-R WRITE screen provides the information you
need to calculate the amount of room you need:
1. On the CD-R WRITE screens, locate the length of your project
in minutes and seconds.
2. Multiply the minutes by 60, and add the result to the seconds to
arrive at the length of the project in seconds.
3. Apply the following formula:
If you plan to mass-duplicate your CD when it’s done, check with the duplication
service you’re going to use—some duplicators accept only DAO-created CDs.
