VR800 Owner’s Manual (Before Starting) Before Starting This chapter describes some basic items that you need to know before you start operating the VR800. All users, including those who are familiar with using tape-based multitrackers and those who are new to multitrackers, should read this chapter thoroughly to understand the functions of the VR800. 1. Time Base 2. Recording method and REMAIN indicator 3. Managing songs by Program Change function 4. Real tracks and Additional tracks 5.
VR800 Owner’s Manual (Before Starting) Recording method and REMAIN indicator Recording method The VR800 uses a E-IDE hard disk, SCSI removable disk (such as an MO disk, zip disk etc.), or fixed disk instead of a cassette tape. You can start recording sound sources from any point on a formatted disk as long as the point is within the range of 24 hours in ABS time, as described in the previous “Time Base” section. (Refer to the following diagram.) ABS 0 03M 00S 00F recorded area (3 min.
VR800 Owner’s Manual (Before Starting) As described in “Managing the song by Program,” the VR800 can set up as many as 99 Programs on the disk. Setting up a Program requires a small amount of disk space. In other words, disk space is used not only for storing recorded data but also for storing all setup data. Therefore, make sure that you have enough space on the disk before you start recording to avoid running out of space (the [OVER !] message flashes in that case).
VR800 Owner’s Manual (Before Starting) Real tracks and Additional tracks The VR800 features eight Real tracks (1-8) and sixteen Additional tracks (9-24), for a total of twenty-four tracks. Real tracks are used to record sound sources in real-time. Additional tracks are used to temporarily store the sound recorded in the Real tracks. This is useful since you can move data from Real tracks to Additional tracks to clear tracks for fresh recording.
VR800 Owner’s Manual (Before Starting) Input monitoring and playback monitoring There are two methods for monitoring track sound (only on the Real tracks): input monitoring and playback monitoring. They are defined as follows: Input monitoring Input monitoring means to monitor via track output the recording signal sent to the Real tracks of the recorder. That is, you are monitoring a post-recorder signal, not a pre-recorder signal.
VR800 Owner’s Manual (Before Starting) Audio file and event During recording, the VR800 consecutively records an independent audio file (recorded area) in each track of each Program. However, you can record data on the VR800 at any point within 24 hours of ABS time, and you can intentionally create silence between two audio files. In this case, a silent part is counted as a 0 file. Therefore, audio files and 0 files are consecutively created as shown in the diagram below.
VR800 Owner’s Manual (Before Starting) Recorded Area 0 File Audio File 1 Audio File 2 Audio File 3 Audio File 4 Audio File 5 n+1 Event Number n+2 n+3 n+4 n+5 Audio File 6 0 File n+6 This is because when you perform a copy & paste, move & paste, or Auto Punch In/Out, the event is split at the edit point. Also, if a continuous long recording is made, the recorded data might scatter to different locations on the hard disk, thus dividing the data unto multiple events.
VR800 Owner’s Manual (Formatting a Disk) Formatting a Disk The “Quick Operation Guide” and the “Saving and Loading Song Data” chapter of this book describe how to format a disk. This chapter explains how to format an unformatted disk and how to re-format a formatted disk. Formatting a disk refers to both formatting the current drive disk and formatting a backup disk.
