DD8
plus Version 2.20 - September 1998
EXPORT PROJECT PAGE
The DD8 is able to convert projects created on one system into files playable on a different
system. Currently, the DD8 can export from any of the readable project types (i.e Akai, OMF,
Waveframe, Fairlight or Protools) to Akai or Protools files. As well as conversion of the project
file itself, this process includes conversion of all audio files into a suitable format (e.g from Akai
format referenced by an Akai Project to Sound Designer II files referenced by a Protools Ses-
sion).
The Export function can also be used to create an Akai project on an Akai disk that references
special “Akai->Fairlight” audio files. These projects are intended for playback on Fairlight MFX3plus
systems that include Akai File Exchange support.
The EXPORT PROJECT page is accessed by pressing EXPORT (F3/F4) on the SAVE PROJECT
page.
The project to be exported will be the one that is currently loaded into memory.
Pressing DISK (F1) will move the cursor to the TO DISK field where you can select the SCSI ID
of the drive to which the project will be exported.
NOTE: The selected drive must have been previously formatted appropriately for the export
you wish to perform (e.g An export to a Protools Session must be made to a Macintosh HFS
format disk).
Pressing TYPE (F2) will move the cursor to the file type field where you can select the type of
project you want to export to. The current options are:
AKAI
To export to an Akai project on an Akai disk referencing Akai audio files.
AKAI -> FAIRLIGHT
To export to an Akai project on an Akai disk referencing special Akai audio
files intended for playback on a Fairlight MFX3plus system.
PT 4
To export to a “Protools 4” Session file on a Macintosh HFS disk refer-
encing 16-bit Sound Designer II files.
PT 24
To export to a “Protools 24” Session file on a Macintosh HFS disk refer-
encing 24-bit Sound Designer II files.
