D424 MO Recorder

Takes, Indices:

Insert a new, empty disk, set the channels ready, and press REC+PLAY. The first take in the initial sequence 1 will be recorded. Each time you start recording, a new take is created, which is given a numbered take marker at its beginning automatically. After having recorded three audio takes, the contents of the disk will look like this:
1 take 1 2 take 2 3 take 3

The current sequence now consists of three takes. Simply record one more take, and you will end up with:
1 take 1 2 take 2 3 take 3 4 take 4

Whenever there is a need for marking certain points within a take, or to subdivide a single take into smaller parts, you can create indices by freely placing index or take markers anywhere within your sequence, either on-line during recording, or later when editing. Take 2 can be divided into two separate takes by placing an additional marker. The new take marker gets number 5, which is the next free number in the current sequence. In addition, a certain position in take 4 is marked with an index.
1 take 1 2 take 2 5 take 5 3 take 3 4.1 4.2 take 4

After having placed these markers, you can not only skip from one original take to the next one, like with a CD player, but also skip to the new markers. In the example above, the skip sequence is: 1 � 2 � 5 � 3 � 4.1 � 4.2 All the markers can simply be deleted if they are not required anymore. In case of deleting the take markers 3 and 5 in the above example, the takes 2, 5, and 3 would be joined to a new take. The result would be like this:
1 take 1 2 take 2 4.1 4.2 take 4

Finally, markers can be moved, to adjust the take structure of the existing source material, e.g. to define the position of the tracks and indices of a CD, or to prepare precise start positions for on-air broadcasting. After moving the begin of take 2, the above sequence will look like this:
1 take 1 2 take 2 4.1 4.2 take 4
