Dealing With Dd1000 Envelopes; Converting Dd1000 Cuts Into Dd1500 Library Clips - Akai DD1500 User Manual

DEALING WITH DD1000 ENVELOPES

The envelope file (i.e. the waveform) for a DD1000 stereo recording (take) is created from
the left channel only and when a DD1000 stereo recording is seen in a DD1500 project
(i.e. spread across two tracks), the DD1500 will use only the left channel envelope
information on both tracks (this should not be such a huge limitation as stereo recordings
invariably show little difference between the two sides).

CONVERTING DD1000 CUTS INTO DD1500 LIBRARY CLIPS

The SYSTEM-DISK UTILS page now has an additional softkey - DD1000. This takes you
to a special page for converting DD1000 cuts into DD1500 library clips:
Each DD1000 recording (take) has associated with it a 'cuts file' that contains all the cuts
you may have made on the DD1000. When you convert DD1000 cuts into library clips,
they may be used as normal library clips freely in any project. They can be pasted, edited,
etc., as normal. A library will be created for each cuts file in the conversion process. For
example, if you have a take called DIALOG with 12 cuts associated with it, a library called
DIALOG will be created and there will be 12 clips in it.
The fields on this page are:
CONVERT TYPE
FILE NAME
To convert the files, press F5/F6 - CONVERT.
Version 2.00 - March, 1996
DD1000 DISK COMPATIBILITY - 25
You may select to convert just a single cuts file (i.e. all the
cuts associated with a DD1000 take) of all cuts files (i.e. all
the cuts files associated with all the takes on the disk).
When SINGLE CUTS FILE is selected, you may select the
take for conversion in this field.
When ALL CUTS FILES is selected, this field is replaced
with a prompting field. Because there is the possibility that
there could be existing libraries with the same name, you
may select whether the conversion process will prompt you
before overwriting them. If you think there may be a
duplication of existing library names, you should select
ASK BEFORE OVERWRITING LIBRARIES or DO NOT
OVERWRITE LIBRARIES. If you are sure there will be no
problems (or you don't care!), select OVERWRITE
EXISTING LIBRARIES.
