Chapter 7: Creating and editing ALE files (EDIT EDL FILE menu)

Remaking an ALE file

If you edit the start time, end time, or the description information of an audio file which is listed in the ALE file, the ALE file must be remade. You can also remake the ALE file which contains only audio files whose "Circle take" is set to "On".

The following procedure describes how to remake the ALE file named "ALL-TAKE.ale", assuming that any of audio files listed in the ALE file has been edited after it was added to the ALE file.

1)While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to light the [SHIFT] indicator, followed by the [ENTER/YES] key.

2)Use the [MENU] dial to select the “EDIT EDL FILE” menu and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The unit enters the "EDIT EDL FILE" menu and the display now shows the ALE screen for selecting an ALE file. On the example screen below, "ALL-TAKE.ale" is shown.

3)While "ALL-TAKE.ale" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

After showing "Please wait!", the display shows the screen for editing an ALE file (on which "Remake ALE" is highlighted).

4)While "Remake ALE" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display now shows the screen for selecting the remaking "Type" (by default, "Renewal" flashes). You can select the "Type" option between "Renewal" and "Circle Take".
