Recording an audio track
1. Preparing to record an audio track
The audio track data that you record is saved on the internal
hard drive as a WAVE file.
Before you record, you must create a directory (folder)
where you will save the WAVE file and song data (.SNG)
that will be created when you record the audio track.
When song data that includes an audio track is saved as
a .SNG file, the name of the WAVE file and the location
of the WAVE file are added to the .SNG file.
Certain actions (re-naming a file, copying a file to a new
location, etc.) can break the link between the song file
and the audiotrack data. If this happens, an error of
“File/path not found” will appear when you play back
the song, and the audio track will not be played. Use
the examples below as a guide should such a situation
occur.
• If you have renamed the WAVE file, or renamed the
directory in which the WAVE file is saved:
Use the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Sampling/HD Audio
page menu command “Sel Dir/WAVE (Audio Track)”
to re-specify the actual location of the appropriate
WAVE file.
• If you have copied a .SNG file to a different direc-
tory, and then loaded that .SNG file:
If the song file and WAVE file are saved in different
directories, copy the files as described in “Collecting a
song file and WAVE file saved in different directories
into a single directory, and copying (backing up) this
data to CD” (☞p.52).
■
Create a directory in which to save the files
If you create a directory as described below and save
the files in the same place, it will be easy to back up
your data onto removable media after recording.
1 Use the Disk mode 0–3: Utility page menu command
“Create Directory” (☞PG p.170) to create a directory
(e.g., “SNG00”) in which you will save the song data
(.SNG).
2 Select the directory (“SNG00”) you created, and press the
Open button.
3 Use the page menu command “Create Directory” to cre-
ate a directory (e.g., “AUDIO”) in which you will save
the WAVE file.
■
Specify the location where the WAVE file will be saved
Next you must specify the location in which the WAVE file
created by recording the audio track will be saved (in this
example, the “AUDIO” directory). Specify a save-destina-
tion that is located inside the directory where you will save
the song file.
4 Enter Sequencer mode, and use “Song Select” in the
Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Preference page to select the
song that you want to record.
5 In the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Sampling/HD Audio
page, choose the page menu command “Sel Dir/WAV
(Audio Track)” to open the dialog box.
