Mackie MDR24/96 Operation Manual page 34

First and foremost, backup your projects daily on an external drive, either the
Mackie M90 hard drive or the Mackie Project Drive. When you have finished a
project and no longer need the project on the internal drive, perform a final backup
and remove it from the internal drive. First, backup the project to an external drive
as described on the next page, "Project Backup/Restore." The project you wish to
delete cannot be the active project. The MDR24/96 will warn you if you try to do
this, so be sure to open a different project first. Then delete the project.
1. Press the PROJECT
button.
2. Press the Delete
select button.
3. Using the (–) DEC / (+)
INC or the << / >> SELECT buttons, choose the Internal or External
drive and press the Next select button. In this scenario you would choose
Internal.
4. Choose the project you wish to delete with the (–) Dec / (+) Inc or the << / >>
buttons. Press the Del select button to delete the project.
5. You will see a prompt to confirm that you wish to permanently delete the
project from the drive. Choose OK to delete the project.
Another way to reclaim disk space is to use the Purge Audio command. This
command will completely remove any audio from the hard drive that is no longer in
use. What does this mean? Audio that you can hear is in use. Audio that is on a
virtual track is in use as well. Audio that has been recorded over completely is not
in use. Audio that has been completely pasted on top of is also no longer in use.
The MDR24/96 will not purge any files that are partially in use. If you paste a
section of audio on top of the first ten seconds of an eight minute audio file, the
MDR24/96 will consider the whole 8 minute file as in use and will not delete it.
See the Virtual track description for further information on how audio files are
handled.
Normally, the purge audio command is something you do at the very end of a
project. Perform the purge just before you back up for the last time. This will
ensure that you don't remove something that may decide you need later.
1. Press the PROJECT
button.
2. Press the Right
Arrow button to move
to page two of the PROJECT
MENU.
3. Press the Purge Audio select button.
4. You will see a prompt reminding you that this command cannot be undone
and asking you to confirm the purge command. Press the OK select button
to purge unused audio or the Cancel select button to exit.
