Press the Disk Util button. Select Mount.

Press the Disk Util button again to exit after the mounting operation is complete.

To Refresh the Project file lists from the GUI:

Select Mount/Refresh Drives from the File menu.

The Refresh command is also conveniently located in the Open Project, Project Manager, and Import Audio Files dialog boxes. If you have one of those dialog boxes open and you don’t see the files or folder you’re looking for or if the file size is not visible, click Refresh.

Transport Operation

The transport controls and time code display are two of the most important functions on the HDR. This is the part that looks and works most like a tape recorder. In this section, we’ll describe the basic transport controls as well as position location, monitoring, and metering

Transport operation can be controlled from the front panel, the GUI, or remote controller. Click on the GUI button or press the hardware button. Most transport controls also have keyboard shortcuts.

The transport can also be configured to follow MIDI machine control (MMC) commands from an external device such as a mixing console or a sequencer, and to synchronize to incoming SMPTE or MIDI time code (MTC). Refer to Sync and MIDI reference sections for appropriate setup and operational information.

Transport Controls

REWIND

The Rewind function moves back along the time line in the same manner as rewinding a tape. Like a tape deck, it starts slowly and accelerates, and the time display follows. The HDR24/96 has a three-speed transmission - if you’re impatient, push the transport button or click on the REW GUI button again, and again. Each press increases the wind speed. Of course you can stop winding at any point using the STOP button, but you have to be quick!

The keyboard shortcut for Rewind is < (Shift+comma).

Hint: The Home key on the keyboard is a shortcut to take you all the way back to the beginning of the project.

FAST FWD

The Fast Forward function works exactly like Rewind only in the forward direction.

The keyboard shortcut for Fast Forward is > (Shift+period).

STOP

Do we really have to tell you what the STOP button does? Okay, when the recorder is running, this stops it. It halts recording, playback, or fast winding. You’ll know it’s stopped because the time code display (both on the front panel and GUI) stops changing, and the time bar and scrolling in the GUI will halt.
