File Management
The 744T, like a computer, saves audio recordings to a file system containing files and folders. The
744T formats its internal hard drive, CompactFlash medium, and attached external drives as single
drives named “ 744T INDD”, “744T CF”, and “744T EXTHDD,” respectively. All files generated by the
744T can be saved to the Root Folder, a Daily Folder, or a Scene Folder.
Folder Actions
All files generated by the 744T can be saved to the Root directory, a Project Folder, a Daily
(Roll) Folder, or a Scene Folder (Files are saved to the Root directory by default). File organiza-
tion is managed in the Setup Menu option FILE: FOLDER OPTIONS. Folder choices include
TOP-LEVEL, MID-LEVEL, AND BOTTOM LEVEL FOLDERS. Folders are created when the record key
is pressed. This reduces the likelihood of empty folders.
• Top-Level folder - is a root-level folder and can be set with a user-selected name. The Top-
Level folder can also be de-activated by selecting < NONE> from the Setup Menu. If the Top-
Level folder is not used then the next lower-level folder will reside at the drive’s root. If the
TOP-LEVEL folder is active then the MID-LEVEL and BOTTOM-LEVEL folders will be its sub-
folders.
• Mid-Level /Daily folder - can be selected as a < DAILY> folder, a folder with a user-selected
name, or not used. If a TOP-LEVEL folder is in use, the MID-LEVEL folder will be a sub-folder of
the TOP-LEVEL folder. If no TOP-LEVEL folder is used the MID-LEVEL folder will reside at the
drive’s root. If set to < DAILY> a new folder will be created daily. When recording past midnight
the 744T will prompt to make to a new daily folder.
• Bottom-Level /Scene Folders - can be selected as a < SCENE> folder which will use the name
generated from REC: SCENE NAME/NUMBER Setup Menu, as a user-selected name, or not used
at all. If no upper-level folder is in use, the BOTTOM-LEVEL folder will reside at drive’s root. If
the MID-LEVEL and/or TOP-LEVEL are in use the BOTTOM-LEVEL folder will be a sub-folder.
Example: If a daily Folder is desired, set the TOP-LEVEL to <NONE>, the MID-LEVEL folder to
<DAILY>, and the BOTTOM-LEVEL to <NONE>. This will generate a Daily Folder in the root directory
with it’s files directly inside the folder.
