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. Stephen There is a button (clear to see and use) on the remote where you simply punch in a track marking where you want one....seems easy. Wait till you try to do it with good accuracy. Hey, if getting your tracks within a minute is good enough for you, then you won't have any problems! ;-) I'm not trying to be obstinate, but how hard can it be? A track ends on the LP and you push the button on the remote. Am I missing something? |
