Re: MD: Marking tracks on MZ-R900

2001-06-17 Thread Dave Hooper


Probably not, but you don't say how you originally recorded the material.
If it's a copy of a CD, with a compatible CD player with opticial digital
out, you can set the player to Sync and it will put the track marks in
exactly the right places using the track information in the SPDIF signal.
Cool huh?

Otherwise, for example if it's a live recording which you later want to
split into tracks, you'll have to go with the pause-then-track-mark method.

 I'm trying to add track marks to a recording on my MZ-R900, and would like
 to know how to do it accurately.  Currently I press pause when it gets to
 the right spot, then tarck-mark.  Is there a better way?

Duh, I meant set the MZR900 to Sync record.  You set the CD player to 'play'
:)

Beyond setting automatic marking (every five minutes, or at any 2 sec 
pause), you're doing them the best way that *I* know how.

Are you guys saying that the R900 (which seems to be top of the line right
now) doesn't have a simple track mark button?  Good god.

No... read it again.  He presses pause, then presses the track-mark button.
So we can presume the R900 has one of these.

Wasn't the point that the R900 would be expected to be capable of completing
a track-mark operation by only pressing ONE button (whatever it may be
called)?  

Pause + Track-Mark = 2 buttons.

Without ever having used an R900 or R90 I would certainly expect that if you
wanted to insert a track mark you would just use one button.  

Is the pause function to allow for a rehearsal (like the home MD decks)
when you're inserting marks in an existing recording or something?

Read his first post. :)  In other words, yes, there is a track mark button.  
Why the hell would you think they wouldn't have a track mark button?  *takes 
away your crack pipe*.

Pause + Track-Mark = 2 buttons.

Actually you can do either; press it once to create your track mark, or hit 
pause and hit the track mark for peace of mind that you're making the mark 
RIGHT where you want it to be.
