About <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong>s on a formatted disk<br />

As described earlier, two format <strong>mode</strong>s, Normal and Tape, are available with this unit, and <strong>in</strong> result, <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

two <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong> types; "Normal <strong>mode</strong>" <strong>file</strong> and "Tape <strong>mode</strong>" <strong>file</strong>.<br />

In short, a "Normal <strong>mode</strong>" <strong>file</strong> is a typical disk recorder <strong>file</strong> that can be edited comprehensively, while a "Tape<br />

<strong>mode</strong>" <strong>file</strong> is more straightforward and you may regard it as a tape-like <strong>file</strong>.<br />

The follow<strong>in</strong>g describes detail <strong>in</strong>formation about disks formatted <strong>in</strong> Normal and Tape <strong>mode</strong>s.<br />

•A disk formatted <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> "Normal" format <strong>mode</strong><br />

No <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong> is created on <strong>the</strong> disk when formatted. A "Normal <strong>mode</strong>" <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong> is created automatically<br />

when perform<strong>in</strong>g record<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> NEW FILE <strong>mode</strong>. You can also create "Normal <strong>mode</strong>" <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong>s<br />

manually us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> <strong>file</strong> select function. Up to 99 <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong>s can be created. Two directories, “bwff” for<br />

BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) and “sd2f” for SDII (Sound Designer II) <strong>file</strong>s, may be created and managed<br />

on a disk.<br />

•A disk formatted <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> "Tape" format <strong>mode</strong><br />

Two “Tape <strong>mode</strong>” <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong>s (“BWF” or “SDII”) of approximately 2 GB each created on a disk formatted <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> “Tape” format <strong>mode</strong>. The <strong>file</strong> format of <strong>the</strong> “Tape <strong>mode</strong>” <strong>file</strong>s is determ<strong>in</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong> [AUDIO FILE] switch<br />

sett<strong>in</strong>g when formatted.<br />

The two “Tape <strong>mode</strong>” <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong>s are more tape-like, so you may regard as if <strong>the</strong>re were two analog tapes<br />

on a disk. If an accident, such as a sudden power failure or shutdown of <strong>the</strong> unit, may happens dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

record<strong>in</strong>g, data on a “Tape <strong>mode</strong>” <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong> recorded before <strong>the</strong> accident will survive (while, <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> same<br />

situation, data on a “Normal <strong>mode</strong>” <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong> will be all lost).<br />

Note that, though you cannot create more than two “Tape <strong>mode</strong>” <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong>s on a disk formatted <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

“Tape” <strong>mode</strong>, you can create one or more “Normal <strong>mode</strong>” <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong>s (“BWF” or “SDII”).<br />

Each “Normal <strong>mode</strong>” <strong>audio</strong> <strong>file</strong> is also stored <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> appropriate directory (“bwff” or “sd2f”).<br />
