Cache File

A folder containing audio file waveform image data. Cache files have

 

a “.WFO” file extension. Each folder containing audio also files also

 

 

contains a Cache folder. Cache files cannot be used by other systems

 

and can be excluded from FTP backup and restore operations to

 

 

save on storage space and reduce transfer times. The HDR24/96

 

 

automatically regenerates missing Cache files when the Project is

 

 

opened.

 

System Files & Folders:

 

System Folder

Contains HDR24/96 operating system files and folders. Don’t delete

 

or move files in this folder. Doing so may render the HDR inoperable

 

(though reinstalling the software should cure the problem).

 

MackieOS.exe

The main HDR24/96 application file.

 

PME.sys.exe

The HDR24/96 bootloader program file.

 

Tread carefully around these files and folders when using FTP to import, backup and restore Project files. Deleting or moving one or more of these may render the HDR24/96 inoperable. If a system file is moved or deleted, reinstalling the software from floppy will usually remedy the problem. However, a deleted or moved PME.sys can be remedied only by reformatting your hard drive, so be careful!
