P4 Import Import a Wave ﬁle, Normalizing procedure

The time required by this editing operation (i.e., before the “Completed” display appears) will take proportionally longer as the speciﬁed range (IN–OUT) is longer.

EditType: “NormalizeTrack”

This command searches for the peak level of audio data that was recorded at an unintentionally low level, and boosts the entire region of audio data so that this peak level will be the maximum level.

When this command is executed (“Exec.”), the nor- malize destination track will be overwritten.

3.DestTrack.................................. [1...16, 1-2...15-16]

Selects the normalize destination track.

For a 24 bit song, only up to tracks 7-8 can be selected.

6.Exec. (Execute).........................................................

Executes the track editing command.

Normalizing procedure

Here’s how to normalize the IN–OUTregion of track 1.

1Select the IN and OUT locations.

Select/assign the starting and ending times of the region that you wish to normalize. (→ D16 p.70)

2Select the Normalize command.

In the [TRACK] “EditTrk” tab page, set “EditType” to “NormalizeTrack.”

3Select the normalize destination track number. Set “DestTrack” to track “1.”

4Execute the Normalize command.

Press the “Exec.” button, and respond to the “Are You Sure?” display. When the operation is com- pleted, the display will indicate “Completed.” Press the “OK” button.

5Listen to the result.

Press the [IN/LOC1] button to play back from the IN location, and verify that the Normalize opera- tion was performed correctly.

You can use Undo to return the data to its previous state.

The time required by this editing operation (i.e., before the “Completed” display appears) will take proportionally longer as the speciﬁed range (IN–OUT) is longer.

An “Import” tab page and “Export” tab page have been added.

P4 Import: Import a WAVE ﬁle

A WAV ﬁle saved on a FAT 16 DOS format external SCSI device can be loaded into the beginning of a D16V2 track. (→ p.20 “Note when using DOS format disks”)

You can also import this data into the clipboard, and paste it into a location other than the beginning of the track.

In the case of CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW, the D16V2 supports WAV ﬁles saved on ISO9660 for- mat discs. Sub-directories are also supported for CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.

For external SCSI drives other than CD-ROM, CD- R, and CD-RW, the D16V2 supports only WAV ﬁles that are saved in the root directory of the ﬁrst parti- tion of FAT 16 format.

The D16V2 can import WAV ﬁles of the following formats.

Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz

Quantization: 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit

Number of channels: 1, 2 (monaural or stereo)

When this command is executed (“Exec.”), the import destination track will be overwritten.

A certain amount of time is required when import- ing or exporting WAV ﬁles. Here are some example times when importing or exporting a ﬁve-minute 16 bit 44.1 kHz monaural WAV ﬁle from/to a Zip drive.

Importing: approximately 9 minutes 20 seconds

Exporting: approximately 10 minutes 30 seconds

*The processing time will differ depending on the format of the WAV ﬁle and on the SCSI device you are using.
