You ll see this progress bar:
Once the server is running, start the FTP client on your connected computer, enter sx1 (for our
example) for the username and the password, and begin transferring files between machines.
A NOTE ON THE FILE STRUCTURE OF THE SX-1, AND HOW IT RELATES TO FTP
OPERATION:
When connected to the SX-1 via FTP, the entire catalog structure of the audio partition is visible.
While you can move any file from the SX-1 to your computer, at default you can only write files to the
Import directory on the SX-1 s drive. You can change this in the FTP Write Access field:
When you select Import and Project Directories , you gain the ability to put files anywhere you wish
in the audio partition.
This was made an option to remind you that the SX-1 behaves differently when allowing write access to
the entire drive.
At default, when the FTP server is exited, the SX-1 scans the contents of the Import
Folder to see if any new files were added. This process completes rather quickly, as the machine only
has to scan one folder for new contents. On the other hand, if write access is granted to the entire drive,
the entire drive must be scanned after FTP server exit. This can take a minute or two to complete for a
drive that contains a large number of files.
The directory of the audio partition looks much like any other drive you might have seen before. At the
root level there is:
1.
A TL_Imports and a TL_Exports folder.
These folders are the only ones that the SX-1 can
search individually. You ll notice that in the Clip or Take browser, your search directory choices
are Import folder, Export folder, or every file on the drive. The Import and Export folders then are
your options for speedy searching. If you want to copy a file from your computer to the SX-1 via
ethernet, the TL_Imports folder will be the easiest folder to search from the SX-1.
2.
A TL_Projects folder.
This folder contains every project created on the SX-1. Each project is
contained within its own individual folder.
3.
Waveform DB file.
This file contains all of the overview (waveform display) data for all of the
audio tracks that have been loaded into a project. When an audio file is recorded on the SX-1, or is
dragged onto the timeline after being imported into the session, a waveform overview is created
for it. DB stands for database , which means that it holds all of the waveform data in one place.
