28 TASCAM DR-1006–RecordingDividing files and creating new fileswhile recordingCreating new files manually whilerecording (track incrementing)You can manually split a recording by creating anew file.Press the ≤ key while recording.NOTEWhen new files are created, incremental numbers areadded to the end of each file name.CAUTIONA new file cannot be created if the total number of•files and folders would exceed 999.Files shorter than two seconds cannot be created.•If the name of a newly created file would be the•same as that of an existing file, the number will beincremented until the new file has a unique name.Creating new files automatically whilerecording (automatic trackincrementing)Without pausing recording, a new file can becreated automatically during recording when afile size or input level set in advance is exceeded.(See “Preparing with the REC SETTING menu”on page 25 and “Start new files automaticallyduring recording (TRK INC)” on page 30.)Automatically cutting silences duringrecordingThe unit can be set to automatically pauserecording when it detects silence, and then restartrecording when the signal is input again.This does not create new files, but cutsunnecessary silences, reducing the amount of cardspace used. Moreover, a mark is automaticallyadded at the time when the unit pauses, makingdivision after recording easy. (See “Automaticallyadding marks when recording (MARK)” on page29.)Dividing a file manually (DIVIDE)You can split a recorded file into two files at anyposition you like. This is convenient for splittinga continuous recording into multiple files.1 Select the file you want to divide.2 Press the MENU key to open the MENU screen.3 Use the wheel to select DIVIDE and press theENTER/MARK key.4 Use the wheel to determine where the file will bedivided, and press the ENTER/MARK key.5 Press the ENTER/MARK key to divide the file, orpress the STOP key to cancel the operation andreturn to the DIVIDE screen.NOTEWhen the DIVIDE screen is open, you can press the•PLAY/PAUSE (¥/π) key and to set the divide posi-tion while playing the track.After dividing a file, two new files with ”_a” and•”_b” added to the end of the original file nameare created. For example if the original filenameis “DR-100_0000.wav” then the new files will benamed “DR-100_0000_a.wav” (the recordingbefore the division point) and “DR-100_0000_b.wav” (the recording after the division point).MP3 files cannot be divided.•If the SD card has insufficient open space, division•might not be possible.Division is not possible if the file name would•become more than 200 characters long.Division is not possible if a file that already exists•has the same name as the name that would begiven to a new file created by division.Add marks during recording at positions where you•want to divide a file.Marks can be added manually (s• ee “Addingmarks manually to a recording” on page 30) orautomatically when the unit detects silence (see“Automatically adding marks when recording(MARK)” on page 29). These marks can be easilylocated after recording.
