Creating a New Protools Session on a Macintosh Disk.
The DR16pro can directly record Digidesign Protools Files onto Macintosh format disks.
To create a new Protools Session file:
1) Press the SUB-MENU key.
The indicator in the key will flash and the text “SUB-MENU” will appear on the display.
2) Press the 4(UTILITY) key – numeric keypad.
The message “LOAD ProJ” will appear on the display.
3) Rotate the JOG/SHUTTLE control to select the New Project function.
The message “NEW ProJ” will appear on the display.
4) Press the STORE/ENT key.
The message “SCSI ID 0” will appear on the display, showing the SCSI ID number of the
currently-selected hard drive.
5) Rotate the JOG/SHUTTLE control to select the SCSI ID number of the Macintosh format
disk on which you want to create the new Session file.
The SCSI ID numbers range from 0 to 6. The internal hard disk uses SCSI ID 0.
External hard disks can be assigned SCSI ID numbers 1 through 6.
6) Press the STORE/ENT key.
The display will now show “TYPE P T 4” allowing you to select the type of Protools Session
file that you want to create.

The options are:
“PT4”
To create 16-bit Session file compatible with Digidesign “Protools 4” systems.
“PT24”
To create a 24-bit Session file compatible with Digidesign “Protools 24” systems.
8) Press the STORE/ENT key.
A default name for the new Session file, such as “DR16 DATA1”, will appear on the display.

You can assign a name of up to 10 characters or numbers.
