4 - Managing Songs
This recorder treats each recording data group as one song and
manages data by song.
For one song, WAV les are saved for 22 tracks and a stereo
master le.
These les are read-only format.
To record or produce music, a song that has already been
created needs to be loaded or a new song needs to be created.
This chapter describes functions that range from basic
operations such as procedures for loading songs and creating
new songs to various song management functions.
ATTENTION
Do not change names, delete or otherwise alter individual les
inside the “MTR” folder. Doing so could prevent loading data
as a song and make proper recording and playback operations
impossible.
NOTE
i The maximum recording time for a single song is 23:59:59.
i To use the WAV les from a song in a DAW or other
application, copy them to a computer. Do not use the les on
the SD card directly.
