710 Disk Initialize

Initializes the disk as a WaveFrame drive.

711 Disk Low Format

Performs a low level format on the drive. The drive must be initialized for recording after low format.

720 Disk Cleanup

The Disk Cleanup function looks at all available project files (EDLs) on the SCSI volume defined in the
Target ID field and compares these to the audio files found on the disk. All unreferenced media files are
then deleted (cleaned up) to regain disk space. This is a direct command, not a setting. This function is
often used in conjunction with the Delete command found in the File Utilities window. After a project or
track is deleted, Cleanup can be used to delete the media that was referenced by the deleted EDL. A
warning prompt is shown if anything exists in the clipboard or undo list when a Disk Cleanup is
performed. This warning insures users will be aware that the clipboard will be emptied by the Disk
Cleanup process.

800 Tracks/Project

800 Project Name

This field is used to set the name for a new project. Once a new project name is applied, the existing
project will be unmounted and a new blank project with the project name indicated here will be created as
soon as some audio is recorded into one track of the project. The default name is MMR Project.

Another way to start a new project is to choose New project from the file menu. Using the New project
function also enters the project name into this field.

810 Track Prefix

This field is used to set the track prefix used for any newly created tracks. The default name is MMR Trk.
