This will also erase any unreferenced audio on the disk but will also 'top and tail' the
recordings, discarding any audio that is not actively referenced to any project and/or
library. This is the most efficient cleanup routine as it gets rid of ANY audio not being used
leaving you only with the audio that is actually relevant to any projects and/or libraries on
disk(s). Pressing MINIMISE will give this prompt:
Because the DD1500 has to go round and top and tail every piece of audio affected by
the MINIMISE function, it can take a long time. After that, it has to 'fix up' all the cues that

of time, of course, depends on the amount of audio being minimised but it is
recommended you do this at the end of the day, maybe even leaving it to run overnight!

disks, if a project disk is missing from the system, you may cause data to be lost if a disk is
missing from the system. Please see the explanation given in CLEANUP regarding this
and please proceed with caution.
