In the RECORDING section, we saw how we can record audio into a project and have it
automatically placed into a library. In the EDITING section, we looked at the DIRECTORY
key and LIBRARIES very briefly and we saw how we can create libraries and copy, cut or
erase edits from a project into a library and paste or insert from libraries. In this section, we
will delve a little deeper into the use of libraries.
Libraries are the key to organising audio on the DD1500. Much like you organise your
work into folders in a Windows™ computer (or directories in DOS), so audio can be
organised in libraries on the DD1500 making file handling that much easier.
For example, as you start building up recordings and editing them in projects, you can
start copying off good bits of audio as clips to libraries, thus building up a central library of
sound effects, music cues, foley, atmos’s, etc., and these can be organised by type in
libraries (i.e. ANIMALS, AUTOS, BIRDSONG, CARS, DOGS, FARMYARD, MUSIC,
TRAFFIC, etc.). Each library may hold up to 256 clips
4
but, if this isn’t enough, it’s is very
easy to create a new library with just a few key presses and add more clips to the new
library.
4 Actually, this depends on whether the clips are mono or stereo. The figure of 256 relates to
mono cues. You could have around 200 stereo cues, less if you start adding multi-track
cues to a library.
