WAV File Transfer (USB Storage Mode)

230

USB

In this mode you can directly access the AW2400 hard disk from the computer to manipulate and

manage the audio data (WAV ﬁles). The following two methods can be used.

This method uses the “Transport” folder on the AW2400

as the transit point for transferring ﬁles to and from the

computer.

WAV ﬁles are ﬁrst exported to the “Transport” folder on

the AW2400 hard disk from the audio tracks. The

AW2400 is then connected to the computer via a USB

cable, the “Transport” folder is accessed and opened from

the computer, and the WAV ﬁles are copied to the com-

puter hard disk. Files to be moved from the computer to

the AW2400 are ﬁrst copied from the computer to the

AW2400 “Transport” folder, and then imported into the

audio tracks from there.

In this case the AW2400 and computer are connected via a

USB cable, and the target WAV ﬁles in speciﬁc folders on

the AW2400 hard disk are directly accessed from the com-

puter. Waveform editing software running on the computer

can be used to directly edit WAV ﬁles residing on the

AW2400 hard disk, and complete songs can be backed up

(copied to) the computer hard disk. Refer to “Song Folder

Organization” on page 166 for details on how the folders

are organized.

To directly access ﬁles on the AW2400 internal hard disk,

ﬁrst follow the procedure outlined below to switch to the

USB Storage Mode.
