Teac MMR-16 v4.0 - Manual (Page 130)

TASCAM MMP-16 Owner’s Manual • Appendix C • WaveFrame Compatibility 132
StudioFrame Configuration Example B: 8-8-8 (8 track layout, tracks are in stereo pairs, two fixed drives).
Sound was recorded as Tracks 1-4 to FA, Tracks 5-8 to FB.
Edit your Autoexec.bat file and change the SCSI address of your drives as described above. Launch
StudioFrame and mount the now-removable drives. Disregard the “missing edits” message at start up
(fixed disks do not have the edits stored on them, whereas removable drives do).
Go into the Track Rack. Move tracks 1-4 to the ‘1A’ drive and move tracks 5-8 to the ‘1B’ drive. Rebuild
the database on both drives.
In each of the above examples, you will now have two removable drives with four tracks of audio (along
with their edits) on each drive. If you have an external drive housing to hold a second drive, the two
drives, with four tracks each, can be used on a single MMP-16. If not, the MMP-16 can handle playing all
eight tracks from one drive. To do this on the WaveFrame/StudioFrame, you must copy the tracks from
either drive to the other drive using the Track Rack. This procedure will, as you know, require some time
to copy all the actual sound files.
If you moved all eight tracks to one drive and then need to bring the tracks back into StudioFrame from
the MMP-16, you must mount the drives, go into the Track Rack, and swap the tracks onto the editor,
making sure that you assign only four tracks per drive. Note: these swapped tracks will now be mono, and
will need to have their pans re-set (if they contained that information). If the audio was recorded in mono
and had a pan value set, the pan value will be lost as well.
