.WAV File Importing
The VS-2480’s WAV Import feature allows you to load .WAV audio files from a data CD.
There are many recordings and samples that use Microsoft’s .WAV format available on
commercial CDs and on the Internet. When you import a .WAV file, you can place it on
any track in the current project.
Converting .WAV Files
The VS-2480 converts .WAV files to the current project’s recording mode when it
imports them. When a .WAV file is at the same sample rate as the project, this
conversion can be quite quick. On the other hand, if it’s not, the conversion can take a
while. You can choose to perform a Normal conversion—for the best audio quality—or
a Quick conversion if you’re in a hurry.
ISO 9660 CDs
The WAVE Import feature recognizes only ISO 9660-format CDs. If you’re preparing a
data CD of .WAV files on a computer, make sure the CD uses the ISO 9660 format. Both
PCs and Mac can create CDs in this format with the proper CD-burning software.
The WAV IMPORT Screen
All WAV Import operations take place on the WAV IMPORT screen. To get
there:
1. Insert the CD containing the .WAV files in your CD-R/RW drive.
2. Press CD-RW/MASTERING.
3. Press F4 (WaveImp)—the WAV IMPORT screen appears.
This screen presents you a list of all of the .WAV files and folders in the CD’s currently
selected directory. You can select any item in the list by using
and or the TIME/
VALUE dial to highlight it.
The VS-2480 imports linear format (PCM) .WAV files.
Both Windows and Mac OS computers can read .WAV files.
If the .WAV file is at a different sample rate than the project, the file’s sound may
change when it’s imported into the VS-2480.
