Hold Project on the Settings pop-up allows you to produce an ‘inventory’ file of the
current (ie. latest) versions of every project element. Stab on Hold Project and a
QWERTY pop-up will appear bearing the name of the current project. Append the
name with a suitable entry, ROUGH MIX, FINAL, 12" MIX etc, and hit END or Enter.
You may create as many ‘held’ files as necessary, each with an unique name.
To recall a ‘held’ file, first select the correct project (if necessary) by stabbing on the
Proj. Title: box, select the Settings pop-up, and then select the correct file name from
the list produced when you stab on Return Project. The element data will be loaded as
normal, subject to the current state of ticks in the Load column (see Loading Project
Data on Page 2-7). Note, however, that the version numbers will not change.
Project Information
Useful information may be appended to specific Project Files via the Info entry in the
MIX-DESK/Project menu. Stab on the box and a text file pop-up will appear (see
opposite). The default file includes a list of relevant categories (based on the G Series
List page) which can be appended by placing the cursor to the right of the item and
typing on the QWERTY keyboard.
Stab on Edit to access the Cut, Paste and Copy facilities. Select text, by dragging
through it with the pen, in order to use the Cut and Copy functions. An option is
provided to display the text with proportional spacing (P). Save changes before
quitting. The project name and date is automatically set up when you create a new
project (see Page 2-3).
Deleting Projects
It is good practice to only keep a limited number of Project Files on the System Disk.
Once a recording project has been completed, the appropriate Project Files can be
archived to MO or floppy disk (see Page 2-19) and the original versions of these files
can then be deleted from the System Disk. Please use the following facility with care,
and only when you wish to delete a complete Project File and all its versions. Select
Copy Project in the Project menu, followed by Delete Proj, and a pop-up will appear
with a list of Project Files on the System Disk.
By stabbing on the blue ‘Sort’ box you may reorder the list by Date, Size etc (see
opposite). If the list is very long, you can search for a particular file by stabbing on the
grey bar at the foot of the display to enter a search string on the resultant QWERTY
pop-up. Hit END and the search string will appear in the bar. You may now select
Matches to find items which match the string, or Misses to find items that don’t!
Stab on the project you wish to delete and you will be asked if you definitely mean
this. Select Yes or No accordingly. If you wish to delete a large number of Project Files,
you may find the FILE/SETUP menu’s Data/Delete function faster to use. See Page
2-25 for more details.
Progress and any problems with the deletion process will be indicated in the status
bar.
