What Does an ADL Contain?
The Project ADL file is a human readable text file that can be opened by any
word processor or text reading application such as Notepad on a PC. The file
can easily be modified by hand to change track routing and slip a track but it
is not recommended. Genex provide a simple GUI based editor application
that allow graphical manipulation of the ADL file with edits or changes
immediately sent back to the GX9000 for review.
The GX9000 supports two variations of the ADL file. The following example is
a standard AES31 ADL generated in PCM mode for a 48 track 24 / 44.1
recording. The header section contains some general information about the
recording. The middle section lists all of the mono broadcast wave files
generated by the record process, and the end section is a list of events
referencing the audio files. The example ADL shows a 10 minute recording
