OTARI RADAR II, Operation Manual, Page: 53 / 261

2.10.7 Project Start Time
Each Project may have a user-definable “start time”, which is simply a reference
marker, since recording over the entire 24-hour span is available. When switching
to a project, the system automatically locates to the Start Time.; this time is also
available in the project as location point 0.
The default start time for projects is 00:00:00:00.00; to enter a different start time,
select Start Time from the Project menu, then enter the desired time.
2.10.8 Project Sample Rate
Like Start Times, different projects may have different sample rates. To change the
sample rate, first switch to the project (if not already active), then select Sample
Rate from the Project menu. Use the UP/DOWN buttons or the Jog wheel to
select the desired sample rate, then press ENTER.
2.10.9 Deleting Projects
If you are finished with a project and want to remove it from the system, first
change to the project to be deleted (if not there already.) Select Delete Project from
the Project menu. The system will ask for a confirmation, then the project playlist
will be deleted, and the project number marked as unused.
Please Note: Audio used by a deleted project is NOT deleted until a “reclaim
space” operation is performed, or Auto Reclaim is enabled (see
below).
2.10.10 Reclaiming Disk Space from Deleted Projects
Since multiple projects can reference the same audio, when deleting a project, its
playlist information (and locate points) are deleted, but the audio is NOT deleted.
Also, as edits are performed, small amounts of disk space are used for crossfades, etc.
This audio may not be released after a cut or erase operation; the Reclaim Space
feature will release the space.
The “reclaim space” feature processes all projects on the system to determine what
audio is not being referenced by any project. Once finished with the processing,
RADAR II erases the unused audio data, reclaiming the space for future use.
IMPORTANT: Audio deleted using Reclaim Space is not recoverable! Also, the
process may take up to five minutes to complete, depending on the
number of projects on the system.
To use Reclaim Space, select this item from the Projects menu, then press ENTER.
We recommend you perform this operation occasionally, to free up unused disk space on
your system.
