Topic: DURec file removing, renaming

A couple questions regarding DURec...

  • 1. Is there a way to organize (delete) files through the TotalMix software? Or do I need to unplug the USB from the Fireface UCX 2 and plug into computer?
    2. Is there a way to change the default naming of the files? For instance, a new recording automatically gets the name like 'May 2 session?

Thanks for any help here!

Yes thru Totalmix is possible
User manual page 102 explains all handling from Totalmix to DuRec

Delete
Offers direct erasure of the current file. After deletion, the media is read again (Initializing)
which can take some time on larger hard drives. Deleting further files is possible even while the
initialization is still in progress.

Keep in mind a file is a combination of all recorded channels if you only want to delete one channel, don't delete the file.

No, as far from the user manual
Page 105 :
The filename is UFX01_00.wav.
After reaching the 2 GB limit a new file is automatically written, with an incremental file number
(UFX01_01.wav). The UFX will write up to 100 files consecutively (UFX_01_99.wav). After that,
a new recording has to be started (UFX02_00.wav).
