FILE MANAGEMENT
_____________________________________
File management is available to manage BACKUP, RESTORE, EXPORT, IMPORT, MOVE, COPY,
PASTE and ERASE of files and projects.
FILE COMPATIBILITY
RADAR can IMPORT and EXPORT WAV, Broadcast WAV, HSF+, and Red Book (CD-DA) files.
Broadcast WAV is an extension of the standard audio WAV file format in that additional information is
embedded within the file such as the SMPTE time stamp. Red Book (CD-DA) is the Sony/Philips ECMA-
130 standard that defines the CD Audio disc format.
SAMPLE RATE/BIT RESOLUTION CONVERSION
RADAR incorporates sample rate and bit resolution conversion when importing files as well as exporting
stereo CD audio files. A REFORMAT QUALITY file preference enables a user to select the default
conversion quality/speed. The three possible settings are Q1, Q2 or Q3. Q1 represents the fastest
processing time and lowest quality conversion while Q3 is the slowest and highest quality conversion.
Regardless of the quality selected, dithering is always performed if bit reduction is required.
BACKUP
PREPARING TO BACKUP
To find out how long a backup will take or how much space it will use, choose to display either the backup
time or the backup size in the PREFERENCES MENU/ FILE PREFS/ SHOW SIZE dialogue. With this
dialogue activated, RADAR will prompt just before it begins the backup in case adjustments need to be
made in order for the backup to fit into the time or space available.
To reduce back size or time required, the undo list can be cleared off the RADAR or the projects be
grouped in a set. The undo list must be cleared before beginning a backup of a project or by selecting
BWAV (NO UNDO) to achieve a reduction in backup size. This undo list may still reference audio that
has been deleted from the project. When removing the undo list references to deleted audio, the RADAR
archiving engine will ignore it. This will save back up time and disk space. When backing up several
projects that share a lot of the same audio, space and time can also be saved by backing them up as a
set. By grouping projects as a set any shared audio is only backed up once instead of being copied fresh
for each individual project. Follow the backup instructions later in this section for more details on grouping
projects.
To reduce project size by clearing the undo list:
Make sure that no recording or editing needs to be undone on the material being backed up.
Use the , the and keys and the key to select the MAIN MENU / PROJ
MENU / UNDO LEVEL and press the key.
Use the and keys to set the undo level to zero and press the key. This will instantly
wipe out all undo information and reduce the project size accordingly.
