This section explains how the D16V2 manages disk 
capacity.
For explanatory purposes, we will assume that you 
have recorded a song with the following structure.
It is not necessary that the Optimize Track opera-
tion explained here be used frequently. It is suffi-
cient to use it only if “Disk Busy” is displayed 
when you are actually editing, or if you wish to 
recover more disk free space after you have fin-
ished the song.
Example 1
Suppose that you began recording on track 1 from the 
beginning of the song, and recorded only the Intro, 
Solo, and Ending as the first pass of recording.
In this case, sections A, B, and the Break will be 
recorded as silence (in reality, sound at the noise level), 
and will occupy disk space unnecessarily. Execute the 
Erase Track operation on the silent portions (A, B, and 
Break) of track 1. At this time, the D16V2 is only “provi-
sionally” erasing the unwanted portions A, B, and 
Break (the noise-level sound), meaning that the disk 
capacity will not be recovered.
 If you wish to retain only the audio data that you are 
actually using (Intro, Solo, and Ending) and recover the 
rest of the space, execute Optimize Track on track 1 
between the beginning and end of the song. This will 
create audio data for only the portions that are actually 
used, so that only the Intro, Solo, and Ending will 
occupy disk capacity.
Example 2
Suppose that you began recording on track 1 from the 
beginning of the song, and played the Intro, A, B, and 
Solo as the first take. Then you recorded A’ and B’ as the 
second take.
In this case, the A and B (take 1) data underlying A’ and 
B’ of track 1 will remain as a single piece of audio data 
together with the Intro and Solo, in order to allow Undo 
to be performed. This means that the disk capacity will 
be occupied by data for the Intro, A+A’, B+B’, and Solo.
 If you wish to recover disk capacity by erasing the A 
and B data from the first take, execute the Optimize 
Track command on track 1 from the beginning to the 
end of the song. This will create audio consisting only 
of the Intro of take 1, A’ of take 2, B’ of take 2, and the 
Solo of take 1. Sections A and B of take 1 will no longer 
occupy disk capacity.
