Optimizing Your Hard Disks
Editing and recording on the DR16pro is non-destructive, except in destructive recording mode.
(See “Setting the Recording Mode” on page 45.) This means that when you record new material
over a location with existing data, the DR16pro does not erase the existing material. Instead, it
allocates space elsewhere on the hard disk to store the new material and marks the previous
location as overwritten. The Undo and Take functions take advantage of this feature to allow you to
choose the portion of material you want to keep. In order for your DR16pro to operate as efficiently
as possible, it is necessary to leave these discarded edits on the hard drive.
Occasionally, you will need to remove this unnecessary data to free some disk space so that you
can continue recording. The DR16pro provides you with two functions that allow you to free up
disk space that was consumed by the editing process: the Cleanup function and the Minimize
function.
Cleanup Function
The Cleanup function deletes an entire take from the disk only if the entire take will not be played
back (because it has been replaced by other takes). If any portion of the take will be played back,
the take will not be deleted.
Minimize Function
The Minimize function deletes that portion of a take that will not be played back (because it has
been replaced by other takes). It does this by copying the portion of the take that can be played
back to a new take and then deletes the old take.
The Minimize function will free more disk space than the Cleanup function, although it takes more
time to perform the operation.
The following examples illustrate the effect of the Cleanup and Minimize functions.
