RECORDING
RECORD DISKS
By default, all audio will be recorded onto the same disk as the current project. In a larger system,
you may have other drives to extend the recording time. However, please note that recording to an
external drive could cause playback problems later on.
For example, in the case where you are playing back a project from an MO disk in Drive SCSI ID
0 but, for some reason, you record to a hard disk on SCSI ID 1, if the MO is removed and played
back on another system, because some audio has been recorded on the other system’s hard disk,
that audio will not play. The cue will be shown bright yellow in this case indicating that although the
cue is in the project, the audio is not on the selected disk. If you do record to an external disk,
ensure that this disk accompanies the project disk.
Pressing DISK (F1) in the main record page take you to the RECORD DISKS page where you can
select the drive each machine will use for recording onto:
The fields on this screen are:
TRACKS This is where you select the machine for which you want to select a
record disk. To avoid confusion, the machines are listed by the tracks
they represent. For example, machine 1 may be shown as “1-16”,
machine 2 as “17-32” etc..
RECORD DISK Here you may select which disk to record onto (assuming you have
more than one drive attached to the system).
FREE ON DISK In this field, you can see how much time you have free on the currently
selected disk. This field is not accessible and is shown for information.
You will note that as you select more tracks for recording, so the amount
shown in the FREE ON DISK field changes. For example, if you have 12
minutes free on disk, when you select one track for record, that time
remains unchanged. If, however, you select two tracks for record, that
figure will halve, informing you have 6 minutes. Should you select another
track, it will show that only 4 minutes is available.
Of course, you still have 12 minutes available in total but this available
time is divided by the number of tracks you have selected. For example,
in this case, when two tracks are selected, you still have 12 minutes free
on disk but, because you are making two recordings you may only record
for a total of six minutes.
