Saving Your Work
How often do you need to save? The X-48MKII writes data
to the drive during recording. You should periodically save
during recording, and whenever you change something
in the mixer.
You may also want to switch on Auto Save, described
below. During recording, however, audio clips are
captured with Fail Safe recording, which updates the WAV
file headers every 5 seconds.
For best results and peace of mind, save early and often.

may need additional software to import an AAF file, such
as DigiTranslator for Pro Tools. Consult your workstations
documentation or support website for more information.
