MACKIE HDR24/96 - Manual (Page 222)

HDR 24/96
Now that the processed audio file is back on the HDR24/96 drive, it’s time to import it into the
Project.
• Open the Import Files dialog box [Alt+i],
click your way to the Import Demo
project, then down to the DAW_Imports
folder that you created several steps back.
You’ll see the new file listed there.
Double-clicking on the file name (or highlight
it and click OPEN) imports the file to the
Project, placing it on the Regions list.
• Finally, drag the processed file from the Regions list into the Track Area. In this example,
we’ve played it safe and put it on a virtual take below the original track rather than simply
replacing it. In this way, we can switch between virtual takes to compare the processed and
original versions.
PROCESSED
TRACK
We’ve stepped thorough this procedure using FTP, but the actions are the same regardless of how
you move audio files between the recorder and workstation.
We can’t tell you how to use your DAW – that’s up to you to learn. One thing to be aware of,
however, is how your DAW saves files. If your program creates multiple files when cut-and-
paste editing, you’ll have to do whatever its version of the HDR24/96 Render function is, often
“mix to disk” or “bounce to disk” in order to get a single file that you can move back to the
recorder.
Sharing processing and editing tasks between the HDR24/96 and a DAW is a very powerful
production technique. Learn to take advantage of the best features of each tool, and when you’re
starting out, take it slow. Learn how to manipulate individual files before tackling a 24-track
project and your work will go much smoother.
