* MX MIDI Out to DPS24 MIDI In, MX as MMC Slave, MTC Master
This will take care of the transport/counter synchronization.
However, the DPS24 will not send Track Arming MMC commands to the MX.
Another option, if you get an MX2424 to record SD2 files on a MAC formatted drive, you can record
on the DPS24 as usual and then do a one pass 24-track transfer via ADAT to the MX and then take
the SCSI drive of the MX to your Mac.
Also, as you probably know, with V1.50, the DPS24 will allow importing/exporting all 24 tracks as
standard WAV files (BWF with Timestamp) from/to either an ISO9660 CD-R or to a FAT32 Hard
Drive.
(internal removable IDE HD in place of the CD-RW drive, or external 68pin Wide SCSI HD).
And since the tracks are exported as continuous files, there is no need for an edit list (project) in
Open TL format (by the way, TimeLine, the company that created/owns Open TL, is no longer in
business).
Macs can mount both ISO CDs and FAT32 Hard drives and import WAV files. WAV files might need
to be converted to AIFF/SD2 to be played in your Audio Software, though (depending on the
software).

Disk At Once Functions
Generally speaking my projects are very large and consist of many songs (from live recording). On
my most recent project (about 90 minutes long) I inserted memory markers between each song and
added the hash # sign to the front of the song names that I wanted included on the CDRW. The total
time for the selected tracks was about 50 minutes. I selected disk at once and set the DPS into CD
record mode. after 12 minutes the progress indicator stopped at 94% - I left it there for another hour
just in case there was some unknown processing going on but eventually hit the abort button - this
linked into the confirmation screen where I hit the Yes button - only to go back to the 94% completion
page. When I eventually rebooted the DPS and inspected the CD it had 89 minutes of music - 50
minutes consisting of my selected songs and the remaining 39 minutes made up from songs that I
had not selected - all bundled into one long song! I tried again with a different selection of songs and
a similar thing happened including the 94% completion message - is my DPS going faulty or is there
a software glitch?
The standard maximum size of an audio CD is 74 minutes, although some disks allow up to 80
minutes, this might not be recognized by all CD players.
If your project is 90 minutes long, there's no way to get it on a single CD.
It seems that there is a misunderstanding regarding the use of the Disk-at-Once mode.
The "#" locators are used to increment the Track Indexes at the start of each song on the CD, but
they don't make a CD preparation playlist, i.e. it is not possible to rearrange/skip songs using only
the locators. Also, the "#" locators should be stored in "chronological" order. You should not store a
"#" locator in front of the first song, but only starting at the second song. Also, no "#" locator after last
song.
There is also a minimum CD Track length of 4 seconds (the time between two "#" locators).
In Disk-at-Once mode, the Project has to contain the songs in the order that they are going to be
written to CD. If not, you must use the EDIT features to rearrange the order of the songs.
