Files

USB FILE TRANSFER Enters USB le transfer mode. Files may be

transferred between a Mac or PC and the 888 via USB-C port.

When in USB le transfer mode, playback, record and controller func-

tions are suspended.

TAKE LIST Enters the Take List. The Take List shows a running list of

recorded takes in chronological order with most recent at the top. Var-

ious details of each take are indicated on the right side of the display:

TC (timecode), Duration, Media, Folder, Scene, Take, Date, and Notes.

From this list, takes may be selected for metadata editing by using the

Rtn/Fav toggle to access the Take Edit Menu.

RECORD FOLDER To select or create a Record folder, go to the Take

List > Next Take Edit Screen and select REC FOLDER using the * or

** Toggle switch. A Record Folder stores recorded takes (audio les)

and sound reports. Record Folders can be created and nested up to

three levels deep. A new or existing Record Folder can be selected for

recording into.

There are 4 types of Record Folder:

1. None- Files are stored at drive root. When ‘None’ is selected, the

Date is embedded as Tape metadata.

2. Custom- Files are stored in a custom-named folder; the Custom

folder name is embedded as Tape metadata in the recorded audio

les.

3. Project- Files are stored in a folder with a name determined by the

Project name entered in the Take List > Next take Edit Screen. The

Project folder name is embedded as Tape metadata.

4. Daily: les are stored in a folder whose name is in the format

yyYmmMdd. When a Daily folder is selected, the Date is embedded as

Tape metadata.

When the monophonic wav le format is selected (in the Record/Play

> Track to Media Routing menu), all mono les created for a take will

follow the naming of the take and be placed in a take folder within the

selected record folder.
