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-2400CD will need the same amount of
free space on your hard drive to create the necessary disk image file (Page 332) 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. Press PROJECT—the VS-2400CD scans your connected drives and displays
information about each drive.
The VS-2400CD 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:
The result is roughly the amount of space you’ll need on
the CD and on your internal hard drive. Compare this to
the amount of free space on the CD as shown in the
lower right corner of the CD-R WRITE screen, and to the
amount of free hard drive space you have available.
Burning an Audio CD
1. Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disk into your CD-RW drive.
2. Press CD-RW/MASTERING.
The following describes how to burn mastering tracks onto an audio CD. In fact, you
can burn any two tracks onto an audio CD, as long as they use a 44.1kHz sample rate.
You can create an audio CD using either CD-R or CD-RW disks. Note, however, that
not all CD players can play CD-RW disks, nor will all mass-duplicators accept them.
We recommend using CD-R disks only when you’re creating final CDs for other people
or for mass duplication.
If your mastering tracks were created in a recording mode other than CDR, press
PROJECT and add up the remaining free space on your IDE drives as described above
before proceeding—you’ll need to know this information as you burn your CD.
