12 - Exchanging Data with a Computer By connecting this unit with a computer using the included USB cable you can backup song data on this unit's SD card to the computer and restore backed-up song data from the computer. Moreover, you can export track files and stereo master files from a song to a computer and import audio files on the computer to the unit. Backed-up data can be restored to a different DP-006 unit than the one that created it. In this way, files can be freely exchanged between DP-006 units, making it easy to add additional recordings or mix existing recordings in a different location. CAUTION Instead of using the USB connection, if you want to remove an SD card from this unit and back-up its data by connecting it directly to a computer (or using a card reader), always turn the unit's power off (put in standby) before removing the card. NOTE • The MTR partitions where song files are stored cannot be directly accessed from a computer. • In this chapter, "computer" refers to a Windows or Macintosh computer connected to this unit. (See "Supported operating systems" on page 83.) The following types of data can be transferred from this unit to a computer. 88Entire songs You can transfer the data for an entire song from the unit's BACKUP directory on the FAT partition to a computer. This operation is called "backup." In addition, data backed-up on a computer can be transferred to the BACKUP directory on the FAT partition, and then restored as song data. This operation is called "restore." 88WAV format tracks You can convert tracks to WAV files and export them to a computer. You can also import WAV files from a computer. These WAV files are stored on the WAVE directory of this unit's FAT partition. 88Stereo master files Stereo master files can be transferred as stereo WAV files from the WAVE directory on the FAT partition of this unit to a computer.
