Undo, Redo, and Delete Last

The history list contains all edit operations and recording passes in chronological order.

The undo command moves up one entry on the history list; the redo command moves down one entry.

Performing an edit operation or record pass permanently removes the undone actions from the history list.

When a recording pass is to be undone, you are asked whether or not to keep the audio.

The DELETE LAST button removes the last record pass and automatically deletes the recorded audio, but only if this record pass is the most recent entry in the history list.

Depending on the size of the edits, up to 99 undo levels can be supported.

Opening another project or turning off the SDR24/96 purges the history list.

Disk and System Utilities

There are several options available for managing the internal and external hard drives, transferring files to a computer, and setting the date and time.

Disk Menu

The Disk Utility menu (under SETUP) allows you to mount, format, and defragment a drive.

SETUP

Mount Drive

Select Mount (SETUP:Page Right:Disk:Mount) anytime you change drives in the Mackie Media Bay. The SDR24/96 takes a look at the internal and external drives and checks to see if the media has changed. When the operation is complete, “Disk mount complete” appears in the display.

Format Drive

DISKUTILITYMENU MountFormatDefrag

The Format utility (SETUP:Page Right:Disk:Format) completely erases the data on the hard drive and creates a new FAT32 partition, which fills the entire drive space. All media must be formatted before it can be used with the SDR24/96. Mackie Media M•90 drives come pre-formatted and ready to use, as do ORB disks for the Mackie Media PROJECT drive (be sure to buy IBM formatted ORB disks).

To format a drive:

1. Press SETUP to enter the SETUP MENU.

2. Press Page Right, select Disk, and then select Format.

3. If there are multiple drives, the Select Drive menu asks you to select the drive to format. Select either Internal or External using

the << / >> buttons. The selection defaults to the drive containing the currently open Project. Select Next.

4.You are asked to confirm the format command. Select OK to proceed or Cancel to exit.
