HDR Pro

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Mackie Designs for your hard disk recording solution. HDR Pro™ is a major step in our continued support of the HDR24/96 Hard Disk Recorder/Editor. HDR Pro is not a required upgrade, but adds a new dynamic to the already rich feature set of the HDR24/96.

HDR Pro includes the HDR Pro software for your HDR24/96, and the FireWire

HDR Pro software allows you to save your HDR Project file as a Mac-based Pro Tools Session file (versions 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x), and allows Pro Tools Session files to be imported directly into an HDR Project. You can save the files directly to the internal drive for FTP transfer, or to a removable drive in the HDR’s drive bay (Mackie Media M90). The removable drive can then be transferred to the HDR Pro FireWire drive bay, and accessed from the Macintosh desktop through the FireWire connection. Copy the newly created Pro Tools Session to your Pro Tools drive and you’re ready to wield your Pro Tools magic on your HDR24/96 recorded digital audio tracks.

The first step in using HDR Pro is installing the software in the HDR24/96.

drive bay.

Installing the Software

1) With the HDR24/96 powered off, insert

installation Disk 1 into the HDR24/96 floppy drive, and power the HDR24/96 up.

2) The HDR24/96 will boot into the installer

program automatically. Follow the prompts on the LCD screen.

3) Insert Disk 2 into the floppy drive when

prompted, and select “Continue.”

4) When the HDR24/96 has completed reading

both installer disks, it will ask you if you want to install HDR Pro 1.4. Click “OK” to finish the installation, or “Cancel” to cancel without writing any files to disk.

5) When the installation is complete, remove

Disk 2 from the floppy drive, turn the HDR24/96 off, and then turn it back on again to begin using the new software.
