Take Number
A take is a single recording that is represented by a single poly or mp3 file or a group of monophonic
files on each media. Takes are labeled numerically and begin at the number 1. Each new recording
creates a new take. The take number will increment by one until it is reset. Take numbers will be two
digits to 99 (01-99) and digits will be added accordingly from 100 and up. By default, take numbers
will reset when a new Scene is selected or when a new Daily folder is created. This behavior can be
changed with the Setup Menu option
FILE STORAGE > Take Reset Mode
. The take number is writ-
ten in the file name (preceded by the letter “T”) and stored in the metadata of each recorded file. (
To manually set the take number:
1.
Enter the Take List (Menu Headphone Encoder press or
FILE STORAGE > Take List

FAV Switch.

False Take
To mark the last recorded take as a false take and decrement the Take number, press and hold the

the false take action. When a take is confirmed as a false take, it will be moved to the FALSETAKES
folder on each media and the take number will be decremented by 1. Files will remain in the FALSE-
TAKES folder until they are deleted or the card is formatted.
Scene Name
A scene is a logical group of takes. Its name can be any combination of letters or numbers up to 9
characters in length. The scene name will only change when a new scene name is entered by the user

data of each recorded file. (
