360 Systems DigiCart/EX - Manual (Page 47)

If you respond NO to both the Index and Name queries, DigiCart/EX 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 to be copied
appears in the bottom line of the command display, press
EXIT
. DigiCart/EX will stop the Copy
Directory procedure and return to directory select mode.
C OPY E DITED
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, this operation can
trim recordings and save disk space. This is especially useful if Head and Tail trims are 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. Dolby AC2
DigiCart files cannot be converted to WAV files. Select FILE FORMAT CONVERT option to be:
• DISABLED
• 16-BIT WAV TO DC2
• DC2 TO 16-BIT WAV
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.
Copying a Directory using Copy Edited
Copies the edited versions of all cuts in a directory. HEAD and TAIL trims will be copied as
edits, deleting audio data outside of the Head and Tail points for each cut. This helps to
conserve disk space by copying only the essential portion of each cut. Fade and gain settings for
each cut are retained in the copies. File Index numbers and file names are retained in the new
directory, but drive and directory portions of the Index numbers will necessarily be different.
