15 - UTILITIES - SAVING PROJECTS
The settings files are an extremely useful way of configuring your system according to your
needs or application. As mentioned, if you have a particular way of working that does not
change, you can set the system up as necessary and then save those settings. In this
case, it would probably be best to save the system settings to flash ROM so that the
system always boots up exactly as you want it when you power the system up.
If, however, you have several ways of working, you may prefer to save a variety of
different settings files, each with different system settings, to disk so that you can load
these at any time whenever you need to re-configure the system.
When you save a settings file (to disk or flash ROM), the status of the whole system is
saved. These include:
Track select (PLAY/RECORD/EDIT) status.
GROUP keys' memories.
ZOOM IN/OUT level both vertically and horizontally.
Current NOW time.
Current IN/SYNC/OUT times.
Current autolocator memories.
Last record name.
Input routings.
RECORD SETUP parameters.
Input levels.
MIXER settings.
All SYSTEM parameters (i.e. timecode type, wordclock sync source, sample rate,
timecode generator and bi-phase generator parameters, GPI/O assignments, digital
output settings, etc.).
All special EDIT parameters (i.e. CUT/->CUT/INSERT/TRIM SLIP and TYPE fields and
COPY/ERASE EDIT TYPE fields)
NUDGE SET and TRIM SET parameters.
JOG/SPOOL SET parameters.
PRE-ROLL and PLAY TO/OVER/FROM times.
EXT/TIME key status.
EXT M/C key settings and status.
When saved to flash ROM, the settings of these parameters will automatically be booted.
Also, when you create a new project using NEW PROJECT in LOAD (see next section),
these settings are used as the basic defaults for the new project. This means that, for
example, if you always use an 8-track MO disk, and always start work at 10 hours, zoom in
to 8 tracks, locate to 10:00:00:00.0 and save these parameters so that a default project
customised to your requirements is always created.
