Sampler rate.
You can set the Sampler Rate for recording in this submenu. You can select 32,
44.1 or 48 kHz. Standard audio-CDs, for example, operate at 44.1 kHz. The bit depth of the
recording is always 16 bits. If you want to record from the digital input, it is important that the
sampler rates match so both devices (C.A.R. 4000 and the source) can be synchronized to
each other. For example, if you play a tape with a DAT recorder at 48 kHz, you must also set
exactly this sampler rate here.
Compression.
You can set the desired bit rate here from 48 to 320 kbps. You can also select
uncompressed to record the signal as standard WAV without realtime compression.
Default Names.
Here you can set a default identification (ARTIST, COMPILATION, TRACK) for
recordings from external sources. The window looks very similar to that of the Track Info and
navigation is also similar. Select the field with up and down buttons and start the input by
pressing the wheel.
Note:
It has proven very practical to enter something like
!Charlie
(
Artist
)
1.3.2002
(
Compila-
tion
) and
Take
(
Track
). The advantage is that the exclamation mark before Charlie places this
entry at the top of the artist list in the browser. The various titles are automatically numbered
with Take 1, Take 2 etc. . Very practical, isn't it?

The following functions can only be selected at a
higher user level
. See page 23 for infor-
mation on this and how to set a different level.
Auto Split.
When you enable this option, a new recording is started after a pause of at least
1.5 seconds. You can set the threshold value for starting the recording with the pointer as de-
scribed above. In this way you can update an old cassette set by digitizing it and have it all
sorted into individual titles—if the material allows it.
A data CD with audio material.
As you have certainly suspected, data CDs are also supported for playback and import to the
hard disk. You can directly play back MP3, WAV and WMA formats or sort them into the data-
base according to any desired criteria. This section of the manual has more information.
