Sound Devices 633 - Manual (Page 46)

• The track designator differs in order to maintain proper interleave order of the tracks. It is used in
the file name of each mono file of a mono take.
• The channel number is another designator stored in the iXML and bEXT metadata of each file and
is similar to the track designator, except that AUX tracks have numeric channel numbers.
The following table shows the association between track names, track designators, and channel num-
bers.
Track Track Name Track Designator Channel Number
Track L MixL 1 1
Track R MixR 2 2
Track 1 Ch1 3 3
Track 2 Ch2 4 4
Track 3 Ch3 5 5
Track 4 Ch4 6 6
Track 5 Ch5 7 7
Track 6 Ch6 8 8
Track X1 Aux1 F 15
Track X2 Aux2 G 16
X1 and X2 are interleaved as 15 and 16 to ensure compatibility with the 664.
Folder Options
All files generated by the 633 can be saved to the Root directory, a Project Folder, a Daily (Roll) Fold-
er, or a Scene Folder (Files are saved to the Root directory by default). File organization is managed
in the Setup Menu option FILE STORAGE > 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.
Each folder resides in the folder one level below it. If the folder one level below the target folder is
set to <None>, the target folder will reside in the next level folder that is set to something other than
<None>.
Each folder level has a corresponding list of available names that can be edited manually by the user.
To add an entry to the list of folder names of any folder level:
1. Access Setup Menu option FILE STORAGE > FOLDER OPTIONS
2. Select desired folder level and press the Headphone Encoder.
3. Rotate the headphone Encoder to select <Add New Entry> then press the Headphone Encod-
er. Use the on-screen keyboard to compose a name for the folder.
4. Slide the RTN / FAV Switch right to create the folder name and select it for this folder level.
Top-Level (Project) folder. The Top-Level folder can be named manually or set to <None>. The
name of the Top-Level folder will also be stored in the PROJECT field of the iXML and bEXT chunks
of all subsequently recorded WAV files.
Mid-Level (Tape/Roll/Daily) folder. The Mid-Level folder can be named manually, by the date, or
set to <None>. When set to <Daily>, a folder will be automatically created and named according to
the date. Whenever a new day occurs, the 633 will prompt asking if the user would like to create a
