DART "Source/Destination" System

The two buttons situated in the upper-left corner of each soundfile window are used in the course of sound renovation. The SOURCE button, which turns red when pressed, indicates a soundfile scheduled for renovation. The DESTINATION button, turning blue when activated, marks a soundfile which will contain the results of processing. Only one soundfile at a time can be assigned a source status, and only one - if any - can have a destination status; the source and destination soundfiles must differ.

A very simple rule is used to decide whether the results of processing should overwrite the contents of an existing file or if an additional soundfile should be created:

If the destination soundfile is not indicated (no destination checkbox is selected), the Soundfile Manager creates a new derivative soundfile.

If the destination soundfile is marked, the Soundfile Manager simply overwrites its content (the previous results are lost in this case).

Read the section on audio trees to find more details and hints on source/destination mechanisms provided by the system.
