Introduction
The CopyWriter Live combines the flexibility of cassette tapes with the quality and
longevity of CDs, in one low-cost, easy to use unit.
You can record from practically any audio source, including live feed from a
microphone, a cassette deck, a mixer and many others. Make a high quality CD on the
first try, every time. You can span from disc to disc to record non-stop for hours on end,
or burn to 2 discs simultaneously from one audio input.
• Audio: Audio CD playback is possible on virtually any player.
• Automatic Audio Track Indexing: Insert tracks automatically into the recorded
master.
• Manual Audio Track Creation: Just by pressing the RECORD button, you can
create your next track on your audio CD.
• Audio Gap Size: You can select how long the silence will be in between tracks.
This value ranges from 1/75 of a second to 2 seconds.
• Ease of Use: With an easily navigable display and intuitive interface, the
CopyWriter Live requires very little training to use effectively.
• Duplication Function: The CopyWriter Live works as a duplicator, too. Simply
drop your master in one drive and a blank in the other and hit “Disc Copy”.
• Multiple Sources: The CopyWriter Live features RCA and XLR inputs, so
virtually any audio source, live or pre-recorded, can be burned to a CD.
• Spanning Capable: Recording more than 80 minutes is not a problem. The
CopyWriter Live will continuously record by utilizing both its recorders; when
one disc reaches capacity, it starts recording on the other.
• Track Extraction: Re-master your recorded audio CD’s by selecting only the
tracks you want.
