13 - Exchanging Data with a Computer
By connecting this unit to a computer using the included USB
cable, you can backup song data from an SD card in the unit to a
computer and restore backed-up song information. In addition,
you can export track files and stereo master files from songs to
the computer, as well as import audio files from the computer to
the unit.
Backed up data can be restored to a different DP-24SD unit
than the one that created it. In other words, files can be freely
exchanged between DP-24SD units, making it easy to add
additional recordings or mix existing recordings in a different
location.
CAUTION
If you want to remove an SD card from this unit and back up
its data on a computer using a card reader, always turn off
the unit's power before removing the card.
NOTE
In this chapter, "computer" refers to a Windows or Mac
personal computer connected to this unit. (See "Operating
system requirements" on the right column.)
The following types of data can be transferred from this unit to
a computer.

Entire songs
You can transfer the data for an entire song from the unit's
MUSIC folder to a computer. This operation is called "backup". In
addition, data backed up on a computer can be transferred to
the MUSIC folder, and then restored as song file. This operation is
called "restore".
8
WAV format tracks
Export specified track files as WAV files to the AudioDepot folder
of the SD card. In addition, you can import specified track files
by storing WAV files from a computer to the AudioDepot folder
beforehand.
In other words, the data transfer between the computer and
track files is carried out through the AudioDepot folder.
