WAV File Transfer (USB Storage Mode)

8 Open the appropriate drive/folder and copy the required WAV files or directly edit the WAV files using a waveform editor applica- tion.

To access the Transport folder open the “AW2400-2” drive.

To directly access WAV files on the AW2400 open the “Song1” folder on the “AW2400-1” drive and the “Song2” folder on the “AW2400-2” drive. These fold- ers contain folders bearing the names of the recorded songs (extension .AWS), and those folders further con- tain folders labeled “Audio” that contain the actual audio data.

To backup a complete song to the computer simply copy the folder bearing the name of the song you want to backup to the computer.

Refer to “Song Folder Organization” on page 166 for information on how the folders are organized.

•Verification and repair of the internal hard disk can be carried out from the computer. From a Windows computer enter the “chkdsk” command at the command prompt, or from a Macin- tosh computer running OS X use the Disk Utility First Aid function.

NOTE

•For 24-bit songs, the audio data contained in the “Audio” fold- ers is stored in 32-bit WAV format. If your waveform editor application cannot handle 32-bit data, first export the WAV file(s) to the “Transport” folder. WAV files imported or exported via the “Transport” folder are automatically converted to 24-bit format that can be edited using most waveform editor soft- ware.

•Do not change the names of any folders/files other than those in the Transport folder. Any folder/file names that have been added or changed outside the Transport folder from the com- puter will be automatically deleted. Be especially careful not to change a song folder or song file name.

•Files larger than 4 GB cannot be copied.

Be sure to carry out the steps outlined in “Exiting the USB Storage Mode” when disconnecting the AW2400 from the computer.
