SYSTEM - DISK - 22
DD1500 will search through all the projects/libraries it can find on the system in order to
establish what audio should be kept and what should be deleted. Of course, it won't find
the removable disk because it is missing and so assumes that all the audio that it can find
on the hard disk(s) related to the project on the removable (which is missing, of course) is
unreferenced and will therefore delete it. When you come to insert the removable disk and
try to play it, it will show that all the audio associated with it is missing and the project will
be rendered unplayable.
Press EXIT to abort or, if you are sure you can proceed safely and no disks are missing
from the system, press EXECUTE but...
BE VERY CAREFUL BEFORE PROCEEDING AS YOU MAY IRRETRIEVABLY DESTROY
A PROJECT ON A REMOVABLE DISK MISSING FROM THE SYSTEM.
THE SALVAGE FUNCTION WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO RESCUE THE SITUATION.
During the cleanup process, the bottom of the LCD will show:
The cleanup process will delete all unused audio on any disk connected to the system.
Depending on the amount of unused audio, this could take a while so do this is in a quiet
moment!
NOTE: If all this looks a bit worrying, our apologies but these prompts are provided to
safeguard against you accidentally losing valuable data. The fact is that there is no good
reason why you should have your project on one removable disk and all the audio
associated with it on another and it is a practice that should be avoided. Presumably, the
reason a removable disk is used is so that it can be taken elsewhere for playback. If all the
audio exists on another disk, then it won't play anywhere else successfully.
