About audio files on a formatted disk
As described earlier, two format modes,
Normal
and
Tape
, are available with this unit, and in result, there are
two audio file types;
"Normal mode"
file and
"Tape mode"
file.
In short, a "Normal mode" file is a typical disk recorder file that can be edited comprehensively, while a "Tape
mode" file is more straightforward and you may regard it as a tape-like file.
The following describes detail information about disks formatted in Normal and Tape modes.
•A disk formatted in the "Normal" format mode
No audio file is created on the disk when formatted. A
"Normal mode"
audio file is created automatically
when performing recording in the NEW FILE mode. You can also create
"Normal mode"
audio files
manually using the file select function. Up to 99 audio files can be created. Two directories,
“bwff”
for
BWF
(Broadcast Wave Format) and
“sd2f”
for
SDII
(Sound Designer II) files, may be created and managed
on a disk.
•A disk formatted in the "Tape" format mode
Two
“Tape mode”
audio files (
“BWF”
or
“SDII”
) of approximately 2 GB each created on a disk formatted in
the
“Tape”
format mode. The file format of the
“Tape mode”
files is determined by the
[AUDIO FILE]
switch
setting when formatted.
The two
“Tape mode”
audio files are more tape-like, so you may regard as if there were two analog tapes
on a disk. If an accident, such as a sudden power failure or shutdown of the unit, may happens during
recording, data on a
“Tape mode”
audio file recorded before the accident will survive (while, in the same
situation, data on a “Normal mode” audio file will be all lost).
Note that, though you cannot create more than two
“Tape mode”
audio files on a disk formatted in the
“Tape”
mode, you can create one or more
“Normal mode”
audio files (
“BWF”
or
“SDII”
).
Each
“Normal mode”
audio file is also stored in the appropriate directory (
“bwff”
or
“sd2f”
).

"Chapter 4: Audio recording/playback"
and
"Chapter 9: Editing an audio file"
for details about how to
create an audio file.
