The Marantz sets track marks when the dB level falls
below a certain point for more than 3 seconds.

Setting this up is especially difficult when you're
transcribing LPs, because they are relatively noisy.

I doubt it. IIRC the cut off point is -40 dB.

There's two sides to this story, and that is only one. If you set your
machine to drop in track marks at -40 dB, you run the risk of putting track
marks in fade-outs long before they are totally faded out.

Not ideal, granted. IIRC, you can also manually set
the tracks.

Takes mucho hand-and-eye coordination.

Why?

This one you'll have to learn for yourself Jenn.

RC (the last time I used the device was about 3
years ago) you just punch in the track markers before
finalization.

That's not how the CD recorders I've used work. You have to punch in the
track markers as you are recording. How else would the poor dumb machine
know where to put them?

That could well be the case; as I wrote, it has been a few years since I
used one. But anyway, why would that require "mucho hand-eye
coordination"?

If I read the review correctly, there's a recording mode that adds a
track number every minute, so one can use approximate timing as a guide
to adding the real track numbers before finalizing.

Maybe the buttons are hard to see or something.
