audio file in the INSERT mode - Fostex

Recording to a "Tape mode" audio file in the INSERT mode
You can record to a "Tape mode" audio file only in the INSERT mode.
If an accident may happens, such as a sudden power failure or shutdown of the unit, recorded data on
a "Tape mode" audio file will survive. Therefore, it will be suitable for live recording or preserving data
for a long period of time.
• When formatting a disk in the Tape mode, a single "Tape mode" audio file is created automatically. Unlike a
"Normal mode" audio file, you cannot create more than one "Tape mode" audio file on a disk. however, note
that you can create "Normal mode" audio files on a disk formatted in the Tape mode. (See "Tips" on the next
page.)
• You cannot undo a recording to a "Tape mode" file. If you press the [UNDO] key, "History File Non" is shown
on the display and the key operation is ineffective.
• When "Rec Protect" menu in the Utility mode is set to "ON", you cannot make recording. See "Chapter 12:
Utility mode" for details about how to release the protection.
• You can record up to 2-GB audio data to a “Tape mode” audio file. The recorder automatically stops when it
elapses the maximum recording time. You can check the maximum recording time by pressing the [F FWD]
key while holding down the [STOP] key.
You can record to a "Tape mode" audio file when either one of the displays below is shown.
The recording procedure is same as described in "Recording an analog source in the INSERT mode" on
page 4-8.
