Introduction
About the MRS-8 Card Manager
The MRS-8 Card Manager is an Apple Macintosh application designed to manage projects and V-takes
of the MRS-8 on an Apple Macintosh. When a MRS-8 SD card is inserted into a SD USB Reader
connected to your Macintosh, the MRS-8 Card Manager can perform the following functions:
• Convert V-takes into AIFF files
The audio data recorded on any V-take of the MRS-8 can be converted into an AIFF file
(Macintosh standard audio file). This makes it possible to edit them for example with a waveform
editor.
• Convert WAV/AIFF files into V-take files
WAV files (Windows standard audio files) and AIFF files (Macintosh standard audio files) can be
converted into any desired V-take for the MRS-8. This allows you for example to edit data on a
computer with a waveform editor and then load them back onto the MRS-8.
• Export a stereo mix to an AIFF file
You can select up to four V-takes (one per track), set the volume and pan for each and export a
mix of them to an AIFF file. You could burn for instance a music mix that you have created on the
MRS-8 onto a CD-R disc
• Wrong operation steps or system and driver software problems can lead to the loss of all
audio data stored on the MRS-8 SD card. For important projects, be sure to create a
backup before editing with the MRS-8 Card Manager.
• Zoom Corporation will not accept any claims for restoring or preserving the contents of
SmarMedia card.
