17. Creating a DAISY title.


In Chapter 16, you learned how to set up your PLEXTALK for recording,

how to set the recording levels and how to make a basic recording. This

chapter gives you all the additional information that you need to create a

DAISY title including recording, editing the recording and finalising the CD

for use in other devices. If you have not already read Chapter 16, it is
recommended that you do to ensure that you understand the basics of

recording that apply to all formats.

In order that you can try out the features in this chapter, you might wish to

insert a blank CD or CF card into PLEXTALK. If you want to be able to erase
the test recordings when you have finished, it is suggested that you

consider using the CF card that was supplied with PLEXTALK.

NOTE: This chapter describes the features of PLEXTALK that are available

in normal mode. Some of this information does not apply in book creator
mode so please do not get confused. Your PLEXTALK should have arrived

preset to Normal mode.

17.1. Basics of recording in DAISY format.


In Chapter 16, you learned that PLEXTALK has 3 recording states,

recording stand by, recording pause and recording. You also learned that

you can pause and restart recording as many times as you want in one

session and can stop recording using the Play/Stop key. This section gives

you some further important information that is specific to recording in
DAISY format.

In normal mode, Each time you start recording, a new section is

automatically created at the end of the current DAISY title. You do not

require to move the playback location to the end of the title. In this mode,
there is no insert, punch in or overwrite mode as in the PLEXTALK PTR1.

For more advanced PLEXTALK users, these features are still available by

selecting the "Book Creator" mode. This option is described in Chapter 19.
