UTILITIES - LOADING PROJECTS - 16
If you have been working on a project and have not saved it, if you request the system to
load a project (or create a new one), you will now see the following prompt:
This is telling you that pressing EXECUTE will load the new project and any changes you
may have made to the existing project will be lost. Press EXIT to abort the load (and save
the current project?).
If you have a project loaded but have not made any changes, if you try to load another or
create a new project, this prompt will not appear.
Whenever you load a project, if that project has locate memories or mix settings
associated with it, they will also be loaded automatically. A 'system settings' file will also be
loaded automatically which will load the system sample rate, timecode settings, etc.,
relevant to the project. The status of the track select keys (PLAY, RECORD, EDIT) will also
be recalled as will your SHOW selections on the external monitor (i.e. SHOW names,
fades, waveforms, etc.) and the zoom in/out factor selected at the point of saving thereby
returning you to exactly the same status as you left the project when you saved it.
NOTE: When you load a project and select tracks for playback, the cues will be shown
blue on the external monitor. If, however, any are shown in a pale yellow colour, this
indicates that, although a cue exists at that point in the project, the audio associated with
it is not on any disk currently on-line.
This is not that likely to happen very often, however. Instances where it might occur is
where you have pasted in a cue from a library on an external disk but that disk is not now
on-line (or the wrong MO or the wrong side of the MO has been inserted into an external
drive).
