If you answer YES, any cuts from the source directory that have names that duplicate a cut name in the
destination directory will replace those in the destination directory. The display will indicate
“Replacing”. If the source directory has more than one cut with the same name, the source cut with
the highest Index number will be the last to overwrite the recording in the destination directory.
If you answer NO to both the Index and Name queries, DigiCart/E will copy all cuts from the original
directory to the destination directory, starting with the lowest available ID number. The display will
indicate the name of each cut and its position in the destination directory as it is copied. Copying begins
with the cut currently selected in the source directory.
You may elect to copy less than the entire directory. When the name of the last cut you want to copy
appears in the bottom line of the command display, press
EXIT . DigiCart/E will stop the Copy Directory
procedure and return to directory select mode.

Copying a Cut using Copy Edited
Copies the edited version of a cut from its original location to a new one. The copy will include only
the audio information between the HEAD and TAIL pointers; the trimmed HEAD and TAIL sections
will be deleted. The procedures are the same as for COPY ORIGINAL.
Because Copy Edited deletes audio data outside of the Head and Tail points, using this operation to
trim recordings may save some disk space. This is especially useful if Head and Tail trims are very
large.
An edited cut may be copied to a different Index number and the original cut deleted. Once the
original Index number is vacant, the edited cut may be copied back to the original number, if desired.
Non-destructive audio file edits (Head/Tail Trim, Fade In/Out, Gain) can be performed on all playable
formats. The edit parameters are saved in a vendor-specific area of the file header. When playing
WAV files on non-DigiCart machines, the edits will not be recognized. However, the COPY EDITED
utility can be used to render Head/Tail Trims to WAV files playable on other machines.
If you are performing a COPY EDITED operation on a 16-bit linear stereo cut, you are presented with
the option to convert between DigiCart file format and WAV file format. Select FILE FORMAT
CONVERT option to be:
• DISABLED
• 16-BIT WAV TO DC2
• DC2 TO 16-BIT WAV
AC2 format DigiCart files cannot be converted to WAV files.
Copying a Playlist using Copy Edited
You may convert a Linear Playlist to a cut using COPY EDITED. HEAD and TAIL trims will be
copied as edits, deleting audio data outside of the Head and Tail points for each cut in the list. FADE
IN and OUTPUT GAIN settings will be those of the first cut. FADE OUT will be that of the last cut.
The format, sample rate and word size of all cuts in the Playlist must be the same.
NOTE: Though seldom used, this procedure can be performed using COPY ORIGINAL. However, the
Head and Tail markers of the cuts in the Playlist will be ignored.
