11–Exchanging Data with a Computer

5 Press the

F4 (

EXEC

)

key. The selected track is

exported to the FAT partition with the edited file

name with the “.WAV” extension added as the

track file name. If you have previously exported

a track file with the same name, a confirma-

tion message (“

Duplicate name

Are you sure?

”)

appears. Press the

F3 (

YES

)

key to overwrite the

older track.

6 Connect this unit to a computer (see Connecting

with a computer on page 92).

7 Use the computer to copy track files from the

WAVE directory on the FAT partition to the

computer.

8 After exporting track files to the computer, discon-

nect the unit from the computer using the proper

procedures and then remove the USB cable (see

“Disconnecting” on page 93).

You can make further backup copies of an exported

track file by copying it from the computer to a

CD-R, for example.
You can change the name of an exported track file

on the computer. If you do so, use no more than

eight characters and always follow them with the

“.WAV” extension. Furthermore, do not use special

symbols, for example.
You can import the tracks that you exported to the

computer to this unit or another DP-004.

Exporting a stereo master

You can export a stereo master that you have made

on the unit (see “Mastering” on page 62) to a

computer. When you create a new stereo master for

a song, the existing stereo master is overwritten, so

if you want to keep multiple different stereo masters,

you might want to save them to a computer.
Before starting the following export procedures,

make sure that the song that you want to export a

stereo master for is currently loaded and that you

have already created a stereo master for it.
