Exporting WAV files and importing audio CD or WAV files Exporting WAV files and importing audio CD or WAV files In this section we'll discuss transferring (exporting) audio data from the AW1600 tracks to a computer in WAV file format, and transferring (importing) audio data in WAV file format from a computer or CD into the AW1600 audio tracks or pads. It is also possible to directly access the internal hard disk from a computer and edit the audio data using appropriate audio editor software. Importing and Exporting Audio Data From and To a Computer Computer WAV file operations can be carried out either via an import/export folder, or by directly accessing the audio track or pad data. When transferring via an import/export folder, the files must first be written to the folder named "Transport" provided specifically for import and export. The AW1600 can then be connected to the computer via a USB cable, and the Transport folder can be opened from the computer. The required WAV files can then be copied from the Transport folder to the computer, or WAV files to be used in the AW1600 audio tracks or pads can be copied from the computer to the folder from which they can be imported to the appropriate locations. To directly access audio track or pad data the AW1600 must be connected to the computer via a USB cable, after which the WAV files can be directly accessed inside the appropriate folders in the AW1600. You can use a waveform editor application running on your computer to directly edit the AW1600 audio data. For operational details see "Transferring WAV Files To and From a Computer" on page 137, and refer to "Song Folder Organization" on page 144 for information on how the folders are organized. NOTE • Either the Windows XP SP1 or Mac OS X 10.3 or higher operating system is required for computer WAV file management with the AW1600 (→ p. 137). Exporting WAV files The WAV files corresponding to the audio tracks you want to transfer to a computer must first be exported to the "Transport" folder on the internal hard disk drive. Once these files have been transferred to the computer they can be edited using appropriate waveform editing software, or imported into a DAW application for further processing or integration with other projects. 1 In the Work Navigate section, press the [EDIT] key.
