Delete Last

One way to save disk space is to use the DELETE LAST button after a bad recording pass. One of the benefits of digital recording with the MDR24/96 is that you can keep every take and decide later which one to use. But sometimes you know right off that the last take will never see the light of day. In these instances you can quickly reclaim disk space by deleting the last record pass. Keep in mind that this command will delete audio from all tracks recorded on the last pass. If the vocal was great but the guitar was junk, re-record the guitar but do not perform the Delete Last Command; you don’t want to lose the vocal too.

To delete the last recording pass:

1.

Press the

record pass?

 

 

 

 

 

Cancel No Yes

2.

“Purge audio files

 

created during the last

 

recording pass?” appears in the display.

Choose Yes to delete the pass and the audio files to reclaim disk space. This is normally what you will choose. The track reverts back to any audio that was previously recorded onto it.

Choose No to delete the take but to leave the audio file on the hard drive. The take will no longer play but the audio file will remain on the hard drive. This is useful if you want to back up every single take, even the bad ones. The track reverts back to any audio that was previously recorded onto it.

Choose Cancel if you decide that you do not want to delete the last take.

3.If you chose Yes, you will see a readout describing the progress of the delete function. When it reaches 100%, the Delete Last function is finished, and the main project returns to the display.
