Take List
The take list shows a sequential listing of the last 200 recorded files, without regard to what folder
they have been recorded in. The first file in the list, marked with an * indicates the file name of the
next recorded take. Subsequent takes are listed in the order of recording from the 7-Series. Only files
recorded on the unit will appear in the take list, unlike in the File Viewer, where all valid sound files
are shown.
From the take list several controls are available. Take Number Incrementing is available, as well as
False Take deletion. Soft keys move among take numbers. Takes can also be marked as No Good or
Circled. See Take Status for details.
Take Status
Takes recorded by the 744T can be marked as Circled or as No Good. Take Status is used to mark the
quality of the take so that post can quickly identify which takes to use. The Take Status of the last
take recorded can be quickly changed in the Take Status Menu. Any take recorded prior to that must
be changed in the Take List. Take Status changes are applied to all available media that recorded the
selected take. If one of the media has been removed and a Take Status change is performed, the 744T
reports “Warning: Media Not Open”.
Circle Take
Circled Takes are generally the best quality or “print” take. Takes are marked as circled so that post is
quickly able to identify which take to use.
Takes that are circled are renamed to include the “@” symbol preceding the file name. Additionally,
Circled Takes are tagged <CIRCLE>= TRUE in the iXML chunk.
No Good
No Good or NG takes are generally takes that have useful material but are not the best take record-
ed. Takes are marked as No Good so that the Dialog Editor is able to quickly find alternate takes that
may have useful material.
Takes that are marked as No Good are renamed to include the “$” symbol preceding the file name.
Additionally, No Good Takes are tagged <NO_GOOD>= TRUE in the iXML chunk.
Takes are either No Good or Circled, they cannot be marked as both.
