Projects
The DR16pro enables you to create multiple project files on the hard disk. A project includes the
audio data, along with the associated snapshots, locate points, offset time, and other settings.
Once you have completed work on one project, you can move on to another project without first
copying the finished project to a DAT recorder, as long as you have sufficient space available on
your hard disk(s). Takes 1 to 5 can be shared by multiple projects. For example, assume that you
have reserved the entire current project to one of the takes. You can then copy the contents of the
take to a different project by loading the project and committing the take.
You can also use DR16pro project files on the Akai DD1500, DD8 or other Akai DD-Series hard-
disk recorders. The DR16pro is also able to handle disks and files created for use on other sys-
tems such as Digidesign Protools.
This chapter explains how to create, load, and delete project files.
Creating a New Project on an Akai Disk
You can create new project files on your hard disk.
To create a new project file:
1) Press the SUB-MENU key.
The indicator in the key will flash and the text “SUB-MENU” will appear on the display.
2) Press the 4(UTILITY) key – numeric keypad.
The message “LOAD PROJ” will appear on the display.
3) Rotate the JOG/SHUTTLE control to select the New Project function.
The message “NEW PROJ” will appear on the display.
4) Press the STORE/ENT key.
The message “SCSI ID 0 will appear on the display, showing the SCSI ID number of the
currently-selected hard drive.
5) Rotate the JOG/SHUTTLE control to select the SCSI ID number of the hard disk on
which you want to start the new project.
The SCSI ID numbers range from 0 to 6. The internal hard disk uses SCSI ID 0. External hard
disks can be assigned SCSI ID numbers 1 through 6. See “SCSI IDs” on page 98.
6) Press the STORE/ENT key.
A default name for the current project, such as, “DR16 DATA1”, will appear on the
display.
7) Use the JOG/SHUTTLE control to rename the project, if you wish.
You can assign a name of up to 10 characters or numbers (refer to the character set chart on
page 129).
8) Press the STORE/ENT key.
The message “DONE” appears momentarily on the display.
The DR16pro is now operating under the new project name.
Note:
If the name you try to assign already exists on the selected hard disk, the message
“BAD NAME”
will appear on the display. In this case, rename the project and press the
STORE/ENT key.
