Recorder
you may not be able to tell which was the final approved recording unless you had exported
an AAF file as well.
Using Destructive recording is just like using a multitrack tape, and is often referred to as
"tape mode." If you look at the hard drive after recording this way, you will see one long
WAVE file for every track that you recorded to. Film re-recording mixers use destructive
recording to record their final mixes. As they punch in and out of their mix recorder all day,
they only want one master file of the approved mix to encode into Dolby Digital or however
it's being processed for release. Destructive recording also has the advantage that it uses less
hard drive space, since old takes aren't kept. But just like the multitrack tape it emulates,
when you record over something it's gone forever. There's no undo in destructive recording
mode.
