DISK MANAGEMENT

If the audio associated with a project on a removable disk is on another hard disk and the removable

disk is not in the system when you run CLEANUP, what will happen is that the system will search

through all the projects/libraries it can find on the system in order to establish what audio should be

kept and what should be deleted. Of course, it won’t find the removable disk because it is missing

and so assumes that all the audio that it can find on the hard disk(s) related to the project on the

removable (which is missing, of course) is unreferenced and will therefore delete it. When you

come to insert the removable disk and try to play it, it will show that all the audio associated with it

is missing and the project will be rendered unplayable.

Press EXIT to abort or, if you are sure you can proceed safely and no disks are missing from the

system, press SHIFT+EXECUTE but...

BE VERY CAREFUL BEFORE PROCEEDING AS YOU MAY IRRETRIEVABLY DESTROY

A PROJECT ON A DISK MISSING FROM THE SYSTEM.

During the cleanup process, the bottom of the LCD will show:

The cleanup process will delete all unused audio on any disk connected to the system. Depending

on the amount of unused audio, this could take a while so do this is in a quiet moment!

NOTE: If all this looks a bit worrying, our apologies but these prompts are provided to safeguard

against you accidentally losing valuable data. The fact is that there is no good reason why you

should have your project on one removable disk and all the audio associated with it on another

and it is a practice that should be avoided. Presumably, the reason a removable disk is used is

so that it can be taken elsewhere for playback. If all the audio exists on another disk, then it

won’t play anywhere else successfully.

MINIMISE DISK

This will also erase any unreferenced audio on the disk but will also ‘top and tail’ the recordings,

discarding any audio that is not actively referenced to any project and/or library. This is the most

efficient cleanup routine as it gets rid of ANY audio not being used leaving you only with the audio

that is actually relevant to any projects and/or libraries on disk(s). Pressing MINIMISE will give this

prompt:

Because the machine has to go round and top and tail every piece of audio affected by the MINIMISE

function, it can take a long time. After that, it has to ‘fix up’ all the cues that have been affected in

all the projects/libraries and this will also take time. The exact length of time, of course, depends

on the amount of audio being minimised but it is recommended you do this at the end of the day,

maybe even leaving it to run overnight!

** IMPORTANT **

The MINIMISE function cannot be aborted once you have started it.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SWITCH THE SELECTED MACHINE OFF

DURING MINIMISE.

IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTALLY PROCEEDING WITH THE MINIMISE FUNCTION

AND THEN CHANGING YOUR MIND, ONCE THE PROCESS HAS STARTED, IT WILL

HAVE TO BE LEFT TO CONTINUE THROUGH TO THE END.

SWITCHING THE SELECTED MACHINE OFF DURING THE MINIMISE PROCESS WILL

CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO YOUR DATA!!
