Do not block any ventilation openings, install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] The display will indicate "Completed" when the operation is finished. Using the drive capacity efficiently Basic operation Example 2: You recorded an intro, A, B, and solo on the first take, and overwrite-recorded A' and B' on the second take When you play back the track, you will hear only the intro, A' and B'. However in actuality, the A and B data you recorded on the first take will remain "underneath" A' and B'. This is because the first take is saved as one piece of audio data, and the track is using the intro and solo regions of this data. Thus, the audio data of the first take and second take are occupying the drive. First take Erasing the Undo data The D1600mkII lets you execute the Undo operation up to 99 times. Old data is kept on the drive so that you can do this. If you want to erase this Undo data, simply restart the D1600mkII. When you restart, all of the Undo data will be erased, recovering the space on the hard disk. Sharing audio data When you execute Copy Track to copy track data into another track or song, the copy-source and copy-destination will share the same audio data. This means that no additional space will be used on the drive. Copy-source track Intro A B Solo Record the second take First Intro take Second take A A' B B' Solo Copy Copy Intro Shared data A B Shared data To erase A and B from the first take Execute the Optimize Track operation on the track you recorded, from the beginning of the song to the end. This will create new audio data that contains the intro from the first take, A' and B' from the second take, and the solo from the first take. A and B from the first take will be erased. Intro A A' B B' "OptimizeTrack" Solo Intro A B Intro A B Copy-destination track Shared data Copy-destination track IN OUT However if new audio data is created because you execute Optimize Track on the copy-destination or copy-source, the data will no longer be shared. Be aware that this will cause more drive space to be occupied than before execution. For example, suppose you record take 1 and copy it to another track. Even if you record a second take on the copy-source, the copy-source and copy-destination will still share the same audio data. Copy-source track Copy Intro A' B' Solo Example 3: You recorded A and B on the first take, and intro, A', B', and solo on the second take The A and B audio data you recorded on the first take will remain in the track. However at the point you finish recording the second take, the audio data of the first take is not used at all, and thus the data of the first take will not occupy space on the drive. In other words in this case, there is no need for you to execute the Optimize operation. A B First take First take Second Intro take Intro A B Copy-destination track B Intro Shared data Record a second take Intro Second take A A' A B If you then execute Optimize Track on the copysource, new audio data will be created for the copysource. This means that data will no longer be shared with the copy-destination. In other words, executing Optimize Track in this situation will cause a larger amount of drive space to be occupied. Copy-source track Intro A B Copy A' B' Solo Record a second take Intro IN A A' B OUT "OptimizeTrack" Copy-destination track Intro A' B Intro Shared data A B 84 What is USB? USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, and is an interface for transferring data between a computer and peripheral devices.
