Project

When you performs recording in new project mode (or when
you create a new project using the "Project" menu of the MENU
mode), three folders as shown on the right are created in the
root of the hard disk.
The folder at the top ("PROJ001") is called "project". You can	PROJ001
make up to 250 projects on the hard disk.
Each project on the hard disk is independent and you can
perform recording, playback, punch in/out, etc. without af-	MPLAY441
fecting the other projects. The LR16 automatically gives a
project name to each project. The name of the first created
project is "PROJ001" and the number (given by the last three	MPLAY480
digits) is automatically counted up each time a new project is
created.

You can change a project name automatically given to a desired one later. (See page 66 for details.)

<Memo>: The "MPLAY441" and "MPLAY480" folders shown right above are empty when they are created. Only one "MPLAY441" folder and only one "MPLAY480" folder exist in the LR16 hard disk even if you create more than one project. These folders are used to store stereo files transfered from a computer to the LR16. As the folder names imply, the "MPLAY441" folder stores 44.1 kHz files, while the "MPLAY480" folder stores 48 kHz files.

When you start recording for the first time, 16 mono WAV files for tracks 1 through 16, as well as the "2mix" and "LOG" folders, are automatically created in the "PROJ001" folder.

PROJ001 trk01 trk02 trk03 trk16 2mix LOG

In the "2mix" folder, stereo mix files (stereo WAV files) created by stereo mix recording of the LR16 are stored. In the "LOG" folder, the ADL files of the project is stored.

You can play back mono files for tracks 1 through 16.

A stereo mix file can be played back using the memory play function. The ADL files stored in the "LOG" folder are used when you retrieve the pre-edited condition of an edited project, instead of the undo/redo function often found on other digital recorders. (See page 67 for details.)
