MDR 24/96 Deleting Projects First and foremost, backup your projects daily on an external drive, either the Mackie M90 hard drive or the Mackie Project Drive. When you have finished a project and no longer need the project on the internal drive, perform a final backup and remove it from the internal drive. First, backup the project to an external drive as described on the next page, "Project Backup/Restore." The project you wish to delete cannot be the active project. The MDR24/96 will warn you if you try to do this, so be sure to open a different project first. Then delete the project. To delete a project from the internal or external drive: 1. Press the PROJECT button. PROJECT MENU 2. Press the Delete select button. PROJECT B New Open Save [1]-> Delete 3. Using the (-) DEC / (+) INC or the > SELECT buttons, choose the Internal or External drive and press the Next select button. In this scenario you would choose Internal. 4. Choose the project you wish to delete with the (-) Dec / (+) Inc or the > buttons. Press the Del select button to delete the project. 5. You will see a prompt to confirm that you wish to permanently delete the project from the drive. Choose OK to delete the project. Purge Audio Another way to reclaim disk space is to use the Purge Audio command. This command will completely remove any audio from the hard drive that is no longer in use. What does this mean? Audio that you can hear is in use. Audio that is on a virtual track is in use as well. Audio that has been recorded over completely is not in use. Audio that has been completely pasted on top of is also no longer in use. The MDR24/96 will not purge any files that are partially in use. If you paste a section of audio on top of the first ten seconds of an eight minute audio file, the MDR24/96 will consider the whole 8 minute file as in use and will not delete it. See the Virtual track description for further information on how audio files are handled. Normally, the purge audio command is something you do at the very end of a project. Perform the purge just before you back up for the last time. This will ensure that you don't remove something that may decide you need later. To purge unused audio files: 1. Press the PROJECT button. 2. Press the Right PROJECT B Arrow button to move to page two of the PROJECT MENU.
