recording
With auto track number writing:
The unrecorded blanks between tracks may not be
detected if these blanks in the source sound being
recorded contain a high level of noise. in cases like this,
the start marker (see page 40) will not be written.
Any part of a track with a silent or nearly silent passage
resembling an unrecorded blank may be identified as an
unrecorded blank, and a start marker may be written. _
After recording has commenced, an unrecorded blank
lasts for about 3 seconds or more and then the sound
begins to be heard. This is where the track number and
start marker are automatically written.
