SYSTEM SETUP

As mentioned, recording is non-destructive by default but, sometimes

when recording, it is possible to build up a lot of redundant audio on your

disk, especially if you are dropping in and out over the same point time

and time again (for example, when recording vocals). As a result, your

disk can soon become full of audio you cannot access or use. The

DESTRUCTIVE record mode goes some way to overcome this.

When DESTRUCTIVE recording mode is on, if you record over existing

cues, the audio associated with the original cue may be erased from

disk. However, you must either record over the original cue completely,

or start recording from within a cue to past its end - dropping in and/or

out half way through the cue will not cause the original cue’s audio to be

deleted from disk. For example:

DROP IN DROP OUT

Will not erase original

Will erase the region of the original recording

between the DROP IN and DROP OUT points.

Will erase original

New recording

If you are using AUTO-PUNCH to drop in and out of record automatically

and you have to keep repeating the auto-punch over and over again, the

DESTRUCTIVE mode will be useful as it will help prevent the build up of

unwanted recordings on your disk.

NOTE: There are certain considerations regarding destructive recording that you should be

aware of.

• THERE IS NO UNDO FOR RECORDINGS WHEN DESTRUCTIVE MODE IS USED.

• After you have just loaded a new project, as a safety factor, recording over cues in that

project will not delete their audio from disk and the original project cannot be damaged. If,

however, you record over cues recorded since the project was loaded, newly recorded

cues’ audio will be deleted from disk.
