Exporting WAV files and importing audio CD or WAV files 3 Move the cursor to the From TR field, and select the audio track that you want to write. If you select "1-16," the current tracks of tracks 1-16 will be written as separate monaural WAV files. If you select "1"-"16," the single specified track will be written as a monaural WAV file. If you select "1/2"-"15/16" or ST, the specified pair of tracks (or the STEREO track) will be written as a stereo WAV file. 4 If you selected 1-16, 1/2-15/16, or ST as the source for exporting, move the cursor to the From V.TR, From Start, and From End fields, and specify the virtual track number and region that will be exported. NOTE • If you selected "1-16" as the export-source, the current tracks for all sixteen tracks will be exported automatically. It is not possible to specify the virtual track number for each. 5 When you have finished setting the parameters, move the cursor to the EXEC button and press the [ENTER] key. If select a source other than "1-16" the TITLE EDIT popup window will appear, allowing you to enter a file name. If you select "1-16" as the source the TITLE EDIT popup window will appear, allowing you to enter a folder name. The WAV files ("TRACK_01.WAV" - "TRACK_16.WAV") will be stored in the new folder, which will be created inside the "Transport" folder. 6 Enter an appropriate file or folder name via the TITLE EDIT popup window, as required. For details on how to enter a name, refer to page 25. NOTE • Characters that can be used in folder names are: the letters of the alphabet, numbers, ".", "-", and "_". Characters that can e used in file names are: the capital letters of the alphabet, numbers, and "_". 7 To execute the export, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key. Exporting will begin. If you move the cursor to the CANCEL button (instead of the OK button) and press the [ENTER] key, the export operation will be cancelled. (However, it is not possible to abort the export process once it has been started.) NOTE • Since the AW1600 does not have a concept of the real-world date and time, dummy values will be written as the file creation date and time of the WAV files. • Tracks that do not contain data in the specified region will not be exported. 8 Connect to a computer using a USB cable, and copy the WAV files that have been exported to the Transport folder to the computer. Transferring WAV Files To and From a Computer Connect the AW1600 to the computer using a USB cable, and copy the WAV files that have been exported to the Transport folder to the computer, or copy files from the computer to the Transport folder. It is also possible to directly access and edit audio data using waveform editing software, and backup complete songs to the computer. 1 Make sure that your computer meets the following requirements. • OS Windows XP Professional/Home Edition SP1 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.3 or higher. • USB Interface...... USB 2.0 NOTE • A USB 1.1 interface can also be used, but in that case file transfer will occur at USB 1.1 speed. 2 Make sure the POWER switch on the AW1600 is set to STANDBY, then connect the AW1600 to the computer via a USB cable. 3 Turn on the AW1600. No driver installation is necessary for WAV file trans- 12 fer.
