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.
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 com-
puter 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.
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 com-
puter. 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.
To directly access files on the AW2400 internal hard disk,
