9 –Using a computer to transfer data

By connecting this unit with a computer using a commercially-available USB cable, you can back up song data on the SD card in the unit to the computer, as well restore backed up song data to the unit. You can also export track and stereo master files from songs to the computer and import audio files from the computer.

Backed up data can be restored to other Model 24 units. Since this allows you to freely move files between Model 24 units, you can easily conduct additional recording or mixing at different locations.

ATTENTION

You can conduct the same operations by removing the SD card from the unit and connecting it directly to a computer or by using a card reader instead of using USB to connect the unit and the computer. Turn the unit’s power off or stop operation before removing the SD card.

This unit can transfer the following data to a computer.

Entire songs

This unit can transfer all the data for a song from the MTR folder to a computer. This operation is called “backing up”. Data backed up to a computer can also be transferred to the MTR folder, and restored as a song file. This operation is called “restoring”.

You can adjust the size of the buffer used to handle the audio input and output signals transferred to and from the computer.

Smaller buffer sizes result in less audio signal delay (latency), but require high-speed processing by the computer.

If the processing cannot keep up, for example, due to other system operations, clicking and popping noises might occur and the audio signal might even drop out.

Increasing the buffer size will stabilize operation and suppress negative effects on audio signals, but the delay in audio signals sent to the computer will increase.

You can use the slider on the panel to adjust the buffer size for this unit according to the use conditions.
