NOTE: There are certain considerations regarding destructive recording that you should be
aware of.
• THERE IS NO UNDO FOR RECORDINGS WHEN DESTRUCTIVE MODE IS USED.
• After you have just loaded a new project, as a safety factor, recording over cues in
that project will not delete their audio from disk and the original project cannot be
damaged. If, however, you record over cues recorded since the project was loaded,
newly recorded cues' audio will be deleted from disk.
• If, during the session, you switch to PROJECT+LIBRARY in the RECORD SETUP
page, if you then switch back to DESTRUCTIVE record mode and record over
recordings made to PROJECT+LIBRARY, the audio associated with those recordings
will not be deleted because the audio is also being referenced in the library.
• If you record over cues pasted or inserted into a project from a library, their audio will
not be deleted from disk (this is also because these cues are referenced in a library).
BECAUSE OF THE DESTRUCTIVE NATURE OF THIS FUNCTION, PLEASE MAKE SURE
IT IS NOT INADVERTENTLY SELECTED WHEN RECORDING AS YOU RUN THE RISK
For example, if you are used to using non-destructive recording but receive a disk where
DESTRUCTIVE record mode is enabled, you may be working in your usual way, thinking
that new recordings are recoverable when, in fact, they are being deleted from disk every
time you record over them. A good example may be where you are repeatedly dropping in
over dialogue recordings, unaware that DESTRUCTIVE mode is set. You may think that
you can retrieve 'out-takes' after the talent has left only to find that only the very latest
recordings you made are available on disk. In this case, before recording over existing
cues, please check that DESTRUCTIVE record mode has not been selected.

Version 2.00 - March, 1996
The destructive record mode will go some way to avoiding
the build up of unnecessary audio on your disk but, given
the above points, there may be times when you will need
to perform a manual cleanup or minimise.
** WARNING **
OF LOSING VALUABLE DATA.
Here you may select which library the recording will be
placed in when PROJECT + LIBRARY is selected in the
RECORD TO field. In the screen example shown above,
the new recording will be recorded directly to the current
project and will also be placed in a library called
'RECORDINGS'.
If, however, you do not wish the new recording to be
placed in a library (i.e. the recording is unique to the current
project and you know you will not need it again), you may
select PROJECT ONLY.
