USING THE IMPORT PROJECT FUNCTION
The IMPORT PROJECT function has many applications for combining and merging many
different projects.
• As mentioned, different people working on different elements of a production could
merge their contributions together to create one composite, master project.
• Two 8-track MOs from two different Akai DR8s may also be combined into one 16-
track project on the DD1500.
• You could, of course, merge two projects from DR8s into one 16-track project on the
DD1500. That project could be saved and then taken to an Akai DR16 if all you want
is a simple playback machine for mixdown (the same could be done with a DR8 as the
playback machine providing the total number of tracks does not exceed 8).
• Work done on an Akai DD1000 can also be imported into a DD1500 project.
However, you should note that when one or more projects are imported into another
project, all the disks that contain the source audio (i.e. the disks that contain the projects
that were imported) must be connected to the DD1500 (or DR16) that will play the final
merged project. If you wish the final project to exist on just one disk, you should use the
COMPILE function found in the SAVE pages to compile all the source audio from the
original project disks onto the final destination disk.
