2 – Basic operational concepts : About projects and libraries28 TASCAM DM-3200 Owner’s ManualTIPUse the radio buttons NAME and DATE to sort the avail-able projects by their name (alphabetic order) or thedate of creation.Managing projectsProjects may be deleted, renamed, etc. as well asbeing copied (this last option allows you to keep dif-ferent versions of the same basic project, with differ-ent EQ settings, library entries, etc.).TIPYou can also use the software on a computer to readthe data stored on the CF card, back it up to the com-puter, and save it to another card. Consult the docu-mentation of the software to find out how to do this.Use the MANAGE PRJ. screen (press the PROJECT keywith the ALT indicator lit until this screen appears) tomanage the and card-stored projects:The currently-loaded project is indicated by aninverted C character by its name.Use the POD 4 encoder to scroll through the list ofavailable projects.Loading a project Use the POD 4 key as a short-cut key (LOAD) to load the highlighted project, or usethe cursor keys to move the cursor to the on-screenLOAD button and press ENTER.A popup message briefly appears while loading theproject, and also when the load process is completed.NOTEThe default internal project when loaded does notallow the storage of automation, or the storage orrecall of library entries—its main function is to serve asa blank template for a card-stored library rather than asa working project.Copying a project This action takes the high-lighted project and creates a new project based on it.When the on-screen COPY button is pressed, therename popup appears with a name and commentsbased on the source project. See “Naming libraryentries” on page 32 for details of how to enter andedit names.Rename the project with a unique name (duplicatenames are not allowed, and a popup message willinform you if you try to use an existing name) andwhen you are finished, press the on-screen STORE but-ton (CANCEL cancels the copying process).Deleting a project Move the cursor to theproject to be deleted and press the on-screen DELETEbutton.A popup appears asking if you are sure you want todelete the project. Press ENTER to delete, or a cursorkey to cancel the delete process.NOTERemember that deleting a project also deletes all thecustom library entries (snap shot, effect and dynamicsprocessor settings, etc.) associated with the project.Only delete the project if you are certain that you donot want any of the project data any more.Renaming a project This is very similar to thecopy procedure (see above) where the on-screenRENAME button is pressed to provide a new uniquename for the project (as described in “Naming libraryentries” on page 32).In addition to these facilities named above, there isan on-screen button that allows a direct jump to theCF card maintenance screen, allowing formatting ofa card, etc.Figure 2.24: The project management page
