There are 4 types of Record Folder:
1. None- Files are stored at drive root. When ‘None’ is selected, the
Date is embedded as Tape metadata.
2. Custom- Files are stored in a custom-named folder; the Custom
folder name is embedded as Tape metadata in the recorded audio
files.
3. Project- Files are stored in a folder with a name determined by the
Project name entered in the Take List > Next take Edit Screen. The
Project folder name is embedded as Tape metadata.
4. Daily: files are stored in a folder whose name is in the format
yyYmmMdd. When a Daily folder is selected, the Date is embedded as
Tape metadata.
When the monophonic wav file format is selected (in the Record/Play
> Track to Media Routing menu), all mono files created for a take will
follow the naming of the take and be placed in a take folder within the
selected record folder.
