Auto Track function
Auto Track recording is a function that automatically
assigns a new track number when the specified condition is
satisfied during recording. A new audio file is created each
time a new track number is assigned.
You will use the menu to select Auto Track mode and make
detailed settings. However, the Auto Track mode setting
itself can be made using the A.TRACK key of the remote.
If the Auto Track function is on, A_TRACK will light in the
home screen.
Auto track settings can be made at any time, and you can
change the settings after you start recording.
NOTE
If you have recorded in WAV format on a CF card, you
can use editing functions to divide or join tracks after
recording (see “Dividing a file (DIVIDE)” on page 56,
“Combining files (COMBINE)“ on page 57).

If •
LEVEL
is selected
Use the LEVEL item to specify the level at which Auto
Track will operate.
You can set this in a range of -72 dB – -24 dB (6 dB steps).
(The default setting is -54 dB).
Use the DELAY item to specify the time (in units of one
frame) from when a signal exceeding the auto track level is
detected until the new track number is assigned (one frame
is 1/75th of a second).
You can set this in a range of -75 frame – +75 frame (the
default setting is 0). Negative values will cause a portion of
the signal prior to the detection point to be captured.
NOTE
If this range is converted into time, the adjustable
range is equivalent from -1 second to +1 second.
