with the Master Recording and the clip both increasing in length
Record Tape
When TAPE mode is selected the recording process chooses, for each track, whether to create a
new recording or replace an existing one, depending on the situation where record is entered.
It also depends on the value of the "window" parameter which only appears when TAPE mode
is selected. If recording is commenced where the track is empty of clips, a new Master Record-
ing is created. If recording commences where there is an existing clip, its Master Recording is
overwritten, using the same rules as for OVER. The "window" parameter allows a gap (up to
999 frames) between the recording entry point and the next clip - if recording is commenced
inside this gap, recording is held off until the head of the next clip.
Auto Extend
It is possible, while recording, to reach the limit of project size, which is 4 Gigabytes (approxi-
mately 12 hours of 16 bit audio). If this happens while the transport is actually in record,
Prodigy Editor will try to automatically create a new project and continue recording. This can
only happen if there is additional free space on the SAME DISK DRIVE on which the Prodigy
Editor is currently recording. At the point where the project is extended there will be a split in
the clips that were currently recording.
The new project "borrows" audio from the earlier project in a read-only operation, which
means that Tape Mode and Overwrite mode cannot replace that audio by recording. Also, no
operation in the Space Menu (which is used to free disk space) will operate on the borrowed
audio. For more information about borrowing, please see the Import menu.
AutoExtend may be turned off using the mouse on the System Page (Blue-S)
