Naming the song (Song Name)
When you create a song, it will automatically be given a
name like ÒInitSong001.Ó However this makes it difficult to
remember what song it is. We recommend that you assign a
unique name to your song so that data management will be
easier.

< If the display indicates “Disk Too Slow!” >
If this message appears while recording or playing back a
song, the disk drive was not able to keep up with the rate
at which the data needed to be written or read. In this
case, create a new song with a lower sample rate or
recording mode than the current song, and try the record-

< Song numbers >
Newly created songs will be given a name such as
ÒInitSong 001.Ó The number following the name is the
song number. This name can be modified later.
On the VS-880, songs on each disk drive are managed by
their song number. A newly created song will be assigned
the lowest unused song number. For example if the cur-
rent drive contains songs up to song number 5, a newly
created song will be number 6. If an earlier-numbered
song had been erased, the new song would have that
number.

< Recording mode >
On the VS-880, the recording mode setting allows you to
select a sound quality appropriate for the material being
recorded and a recording time appropriate for the remain-
ing capacity of your disk drive. This recording mode set-
ting is set when you create a new song. The following
recording modes are available. Use the mode appropriate
for your situation.

* The recording mode cannot be changed after a song has
been recorded.
Mastering (MAS):
Of the four modes, this provides the
highest sound quality; equal to a CD player or a DAT
recorder. However a song for which this mode is selected
will function as a 6-track recorder (tracks 1Ð6). Tracks 7Ð8
cannot be used. This mode is suitable for a recording in
which you will use mainly 2-channel stereo editing.

Multitrack 1 (MT1):
While preserving high sound quality,
the recording time will be approximately twice that of

Live (LIV):
Of the for modes, this allows the longest
recording times. For example if you are recording 4 tracks
onto a 1 G byte disk, this mode allows more than 2 hours of
continuous recording. Since this mode allows long record-
ing without worrying about disk drive capacity, it is espe-
cially suitable for recording a live performance.
