3.1.1
The Significance of Good Naming Practices
We highly recommend naming your Title and Tracks because these names are used to
create a Library for all recorded Clips and Tracks. Unlike software designed for static
documents, the R-1 generates and names large numbers of files in response to punch
and other record operations.
The Old Feature
If you are not concerned about long-term asset management and just want to launch a
Title quickly with automatic naming:
1.
Press the
Title
key.
It begins flashing.
2.
Move forward in the Remote menu to the next option
New (from Remote)
,
3.
Press the
Select
key.
This method essentially executes the same
New
command that the Remote provided in
previous versions of the R-1.
As a shortcut to this old method of operation, select
Wave+New
(after pressing the
Title
key). Either method creates an automatically named Title. The R-1 Remote shows the
name it selected for the new Title. Press
Select
to clear this display.
3.2
File Interchange
The R-1 can now capture sound files from either the R-1 Directory system or the
displayed track sheet, and export them as Broadcast WAV (BWAV) files. BWAV files
are extended versions of the WAV format. They are compatible with any software that
reads WAV files (Windows and Macintosh platforms), even if that software does not
use or preserve the additional data. BWAV is the standard file format of the European
Broadcast Union and of the committee developing the AES 31 file interchange standard.
The main advantage of the BWAV format is the preservation of track and time informa-
tion between a BWAV-compatible editing system and the R-1. The R-1 can export the
file to the editing software and then re-import the file to the precise time and track from
which it was originally exported. The R-1 can also import standard WAV files.
