How to Record continued
Select record mode
The record mode (REC mode) sets the PSD300 to
expect and accept certain inputs, outputs, and other
conditions such as the settings of AUTO TRACK and
AUTO STOP, and the easy availability of some adjust-
ments such as REC LEVEL.
The following descriptions will help you select the REC
mode that suits your needs.
REC with CD
This mode allows you to record along with a CD.
You can add your voice or instrument via the MIC/
LINE jacks, INT microphone, or AUX input. Moni-
tor the recording process using the headphone
jack, internal speaker, or LINE OUT.
CD recordings must be finalized in order to play
back on other CD drives.
RECORD
If no CD is present in the CD drive this is the first
REC mode that appears in the REC mode menu.
You can record using the INT mic, MIC/LINE
inputs and/or AUX inputs or DIGITAL input.
This mode can be used to record live meetings,
conferences, concerts, seminars, and also for
mastering in the project studio.
CD recordings must first be finalized in order to
play back on other CD drives.
COPY + LISTEN
This mode is used to digitally copy a CD in real-
time while listening to it. This is an internal
recording function that allows no inputs from
outside sources.
A 74-minute CD will take 74 minutes to copy and
then must be finalized in order to play in other CD
drives.
COPY 2X
Digitally copy individual or programmed tracks or
an entire disc. This is an internal recording
function that allows no inputs from outside
sources.
A 74-minute CD will take approximately 37 min-
utes to copy and then must be finalized in order to
play in other CD drives.
COPY 2X +FINAL
This is the quickest way to digitally copy individual
programmed tracks or an entire disc. This is an
internal recording function that allows no inputs
from outside sources.
A 74-minute CD will take approximately 37
minutes to copy and will automatically be finalized
at the end of the recording session. The finaliza-
tion takes approximately 2 minutes.
CONV HALFSPEED
This will record individual or programmed tracks
at half speed. The converted recording will play
one octave lower which provides a powerful new
tool for difficult music transcription.
Because this is a tool and not a production
process consider using a CD-RW disc that can
later be erased. The disc must be finalized in
order to be play on other CD drives.
SYNC RECORD
This REC mode is used to automatically engage
the recording process from an outside digital or
analog source including DAT, minidisk, cassette
tape or LP for example.
The disc must be finalized in order to play on
other CD drives.
SYNC RECORD+FINAL
Use this REC mode to automatically start the
recording process from an outside digital or
analog source including DAT, minidisk, cassette
tape or LP for example.
The disc will automatically be finalized at the end
of the recording session. The finalization takes
approximately 2 minutes.
Recording tips
• Be sure to set the input, mix, and speaker
switches to the appropriate setting prior to
entering a record mode.
• Consider using a CD-RW (re-writable) disc. Then
only the tracks that you like can be duplicated to
a CD-R (write once) disc using the COPY 2X
REC mode.
• To record MONO (one microphone or instrument
to both channels of the CD recorder) switch the
MIC/LINE SPLIT/STEREO/MIX switch to MIX.
