Autosave - Akai DD1500 User Manual

AUTOSAVE

In the SAVE page, there is an option for selecting AUTOSAVE:
With AUTOSAVE switched OFF, the DD1500 behaves as normal and you must specifically
save projects when you feel it is appropriate. With AUTOSAVE switched to ON, whenever
you do anything, the project is saved (saving is very fast - you won't notice any
deterioration in speed or performance). After you record, cut, paste, erase, slip, undo,
whatever, the project is saved automatically. As well as alleviating the need for a manual
save, it has the added advantage that should anything go wrong, the project is safe.
However, please be advised that if you perform a lot of edits or recordings, whatever,
there may come a point, of course, where you have exceeded the number of UNDOs
available (20) and, because the project is saved, you may have to re-construct things if
you change your mind about any edits you may have done.
Basically, there are pros and cons to the AUTOSAVE function - some users like not to
worry about having to save and are happy for their every action to be saved immediately,
others prefer to save manually as and when they like. You have the choice!
When AUTOSAVE is switched on, it is shown on the VGA monitor to the top right of the
GRID. I.e.:
NOTE: If you use a DR8 disk on the DD1500, AUTOSAVE is automatically switched ON.
