Rules of Soundfile Management

If you register the original archive soundfile as a root soundfile, the DART XP Pro librarian, called the Soundfile Manager, will help you organize and keep track of all renovation experiments involving that file.

Based on your indications, the Soundfile Manager automatically updates the names under which the renovated soundfiles are saved. Moreover, it creates and updates special database files containing information about all files derived from a specific root file. The resulting family trees of soundfiles, called audio trees, are ideal tools for quick revision and comparison of different variants of processing.

Even though we strongly encourage you to register soundfiles, you are free not to do it. When working with unregistered files, you can use all DART XP Pro functions and utilities except those provided by the Soundfile Manager. In particular, on your own, you must look after the names of created soundfiles and maintain the tracking of their content, processing details etc.
