DISK MANAGEMENT
RESTORING FROM DAT
Pressing RESTORE in the ARCHIVE page will show this screen display:
Here you may restore the contents of a DAT back to the disk via the digital audio I/O.
To connect your DAT machine, connect the digital output of the DAT machine to the digital inputs
of the selected Akai DD/DR series machine (you can set which one will be used in the DAT OPTIONS
page).
The DISK parameter allows you to select which disk you will restore to.
DAT OPTIONS (F1/F2) has the same function in RESTORE as it does in ARCHIVE. Please refer
to ARCHIVE for details on the DAT OPTION page.
With a DR16pro, you may also choose to restore from an Alesis ADAT machine using the optional
ADAT interface card. If the selected machine is a DR16pro, pressing DAT OPTIONS (F1/F2) will
give this screen display:
Here, the ARCHIVE/RESTORE TYPE field allows you select MULTI-OPTION allowing multi-channel
audio restore via a digital audio option card from an Alesis ADAT.
To restore an archive, insert the appropriate tape into the DAT machine and rewind it so that it is at
the start of the tape. Press RESTORE (F3/F4). You will receive this prompt:
Because restoring will erase everything on the disk selected in the DISK field, this extra prompt is
shown. Furthermore, to make accidental erasure even more difficult, you must press
SHIFT+EXECUTE to proceed. If you have the slightest doubt about restoring at this point
(proceeding will erase EVERYTHING off the selected disk!!!!) press EXIT to abort this prompt.
Assuming you wish to proceed, press SHIFT+EXECUTE. The system will wait and you should
start the DAT machine. The restore will take place. Once you press SHIFT+EXECUTE, be warned
- there is no going back! The disk will be erased and the restore will start.
** IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT RESTORING **
THE RESTORE PROCESS FIRST ERASES THE DISK AND THEN RESTORES THE
AUDIO ONTO THE DISK. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU USE A BLANK DISK (OR ONE
YOU ARE HAPPY TO ERASE) WHEN RESTORING DATA FROM DAT.
AKAI professional CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DATA LOST IN THIS WAY.
As with archiving, the restore will take a little longer than real-time (i.e. an hours worth of material
will take just over an hour to restore. If the archive contains many very short clips, then archiving
will take a bit longer).
