Introduction
Thank you for choosing Mackie Designs for
your hard disk recording solution. HDR Pro™ is a
major step in our continued support of the
HDR24/96 Hard Disk Recorder/Editor. HDR Pro
is not a required upgrade, but adds a new dynamic
to the already rich feature set of the HDR24/96.
HDR Pro includes the HDR Pro software for
your HDR24/96, and the FireWire
®
drive bay.
HDR Pro software allows you to save your
HDR Project file as a Mac-based Pro Tools
®
Session file (versions 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x), and allows
Pro Tools Session files to be imported directly into
an HDR Project. You can save the files directly to
the internal drive for FTP transfer, or to a
removable drive in the HDR’s drive bay (Mackie
Media M90). The removable drive can then be
transferred to the HDR Pro FireWire drive bay,
and accessed from the Macintosh desktop through
the FireWire connection. Copy the newly created
Pro Tools Session to your Pro Tools drive and
you’re ready to wield your Pro Tools magic on
your HDR24/96 recorded digital audio tracks.
The first step in using HDR Pro is installing the
software in the HDR24/96.
Installing the Software

With the HDR24/96 powered off, insert
installation Disk 1 into the HDR24/96
floppy drive, and power the HDR24/96 up.

program automatically. Follow the prompts
on the LCD screen.
3)
Insert Disk 2 into the floppy drive when
prompted, and select “Continue.”
4)
When the HDR24/96 has completed reading
both installer disks, it will ask you if you
want to install HDR Pro 1.4. Click “OK” to
finish the installation, or “Cancel” to cancel
without writing any files to disk.
5)
When the installation is complete, remove
Disk 2 from the floppy drive, turn the
HDR24/96 off, and then turn it back on
again to begin using the new software.
