Remaking an ALE file

If you edit an audio file which is used in the ALE file and the start time, end time, or the description information is changed, the ALE file must be remade. You can also remake the ALE file by selecting only audio files whose “Circle take” is set to “On”.

The following procedure example describes how to remake the “ALL-TAKE.ale” file.

1.When the [SHIFT] indicator is lit, press the [FILE SEL/EDL SEL] key.

The display changes to show the ALE screen.

You can see the created ALE file(s) and “<New file>” in the “Select ALE file” list.

2.Select (highlight) “ALL-TAKE.ale”, and press the [ENTER] key.

The display changes to show the “Edit ALE” screen on which you can select an editing menu and “Remake ALE” is initially highlighted.

3.While “Remake ALE ” is highlighted, press the [ENTER] key.

The display now shows the “Remake ALE” screen.

You can select the “Type” option between “Renewal” and “Circle Take”.
