It would seem that the DP-24 (and SD and DP-32) were not meant for recording live music in the field, as it has been noted by others here that one cannot subdivide a SONG (and mixing and mastering, say, a one hour set, would be impractical to impossible, unless levels and EQ settings never change). I thought it would be as easy as dividing songs on a DR-40 or a DR-05 by using the DP-24's mark in/out feature and copying all the tracks within that time frame and renaming them as a new song. As far as I can tell as a new user, all the editing is done on the TRACK level, not the SONG level.
But could you work around the problem by using excess storage real estate? Given a 32G SD card, has anyone tried copying a one-hour SONG (say, a live set) as many times as individual tunes are within the set (say, for five tunes, copy the entire hour recording five times, renaming the copies for each individual tune)? That way you could mark in/out, mixdown and master one tune at a time, knowing that the entire one hour SONG would be eventually be overwritten during the mastering.
Anyone tried that?
