To return to the condition before
COMBINE
You can return to the original condition
immediately after combining the tracks (see page
43). You can also return to the original condition
by using the Divide function (see page 41).
Notes
• If both of the combined tracks have track titles, the
title of the second track is erased.
• If “Impossible” appears, the tracks cannot be
combined. This happens when you have edited the
same track many times. This is due to a technical
limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical
error.
