WAV File Transfer (USB Storage Mode) WAV File Transfer (USB Storage Mode) In this mode you can directly access the AW2400 hard disk from the computer to manipulate and manage the audio data (WAV files). The following two methods can be used. ■ Using the Transport Folder This method uses the "Transport" folder on the AW2400 as the transit point for transferring files to and from the computer. WAV files are first exported to the "Transport" folder on the AW2400 hard disk from the audio tracks. The AW2400 is then connected to the computer via a USB cable, the "Transport" folder is accessed and opened from the computer, and the WAV files are copied to the computer hard disk. Files to be moved from the computer to the AW2400 are first copied from the computer to the AW2400 "Transport" folder, and then imported into the audio tracks from there. ■ Directly Accessing AW2400 Audio Data In this case the AW2400 and computer are connected via a USB cable, and the target WAV files in specific folders on the AW2400 hard disk are directly accessed from the computer. Waveform editing software running on the computer can be used to directly edit WAV files residing on the AW2400 hard disk, and complete songs can be backed up (copied to) the computer hard disk. Refer to "Song Folder Organization" on page 166 for details on how the folders are organized. ● Directly Accessing Audio Data ● Transfer to Computer via the "Transport" Folder AW2400 Computer WAV file transfer (USB) Backup of Song Data etc. (USB) AW2400 "Transport" folder Computer Direct Editing of Audio Data (USB) Audio tracks/ stereo track "Transport" folder Export Audio tracks/ stereo track HINT • Files in the "Transport" folder can also be directly accessed and manipulated from applications running on the computer. ● Transfer to AW2400 via the "Transport" Folder Computer AW2400 WAV file transfer (USB) "Transport" folder Import Audio tracks/ stereo track USB 24 Switching to the USB Storage Mode To directly access files on the AW2400 internal hard disk, first follow the procedure outlined below to switch to the USB Storage Mode. 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. • To use Mac OS X 10.3 you will need to re-initialize the AW2400 hard disk and set the hard disk cluster size to 32K (→ p. 212). 2 Make sure the POWER switch on the AW2400 is set to OFF, then connect the AW2400 to the computer via a USB cable. 230 AW2400 Owner's Manual
