Converting WAV Files
The VS-2000 converts WAV files to the current project’s recording mode when it
imports them. When a WAV file is at the same sample rate as the project, this
conversion can be quite quick. On the other hand, if it’s not, the conversion can take a
while. You can choose to perform a Normal conversion—for the best audio quality—or
a Quick conversion if you’re in a hurry.
ISO 9660 CDs
The WAVE Import feature recognizes only ISO 9660-format CDs. If you’re preparing a
data CD of WAV files on a computer, make sure the CD uses the ISO 9660 format. Both
PCs and Mac can create CDs in this format with the proper CD-burning software.
The WAV IMPORT Screen
All WAV Import operations take place on the WAV IMPORT screen:
1. Insert the CD containing the WAV files into your CD-R/RW drive.
2. Press CD-RW.
3. Press F4 (WavImp)—the WAV IMPORT screen appears.
This screen presents you a list of all of the WAV files and folders in the CD’s currently
selected directory. You can select any item in the list by using
and
or the Time/
Value dial to highlight it.
Each file directory on the CD appears in the displayed list as a folder. To open a folder,
select it and press F5 (ChgDir) for “Change Directory.” When you’re inside a folder, an
upward arrow points you back to the folder’s parent directory. To move up and back out
of the folder, highlight “<<Parent Directry>>” and press F5 (ChgDir) again.
The list provides information about each of its WAV files. The Type column shows the
file’s sample rate, whether it’s mono or stereo, and its bit depth. Press F4 (Info) to toggle
the contents of the middle column on the display. This column can show you each file’s:
•
Size
—in hours, minutes, seconds and frames.
•
Last Update
—the date on which the file was last modified.
To hear a preview of a WAV file, select it and press F2 (Previw) for “Preview.”
If the WAV file is not at a 44.1 kHz sample rate, the file’s sound may change when it’s
imported into the VS-2000.
