TASCAM MMR-8/MMP-16 Version 4.2 Owner’s Manual Update
7
3.
When Volume/Mute Automation is turned “Off”, all channels will have automation
disabled. Note that this change is written to the EDL. The automation data is not
deleted and can always be turned “On” again.
MMR Project Name Incrementing
The default project naming convention on the MMR has been improved in Version 4.2 so that no
two default projects have the same name. When an MMR is powered up, if a project exists on a
disk with the name of “MMR Project”, the MMR will increment and name the newest project
“MMR Project2”. If a project named MMR Project2 exists, the next project will be named MMR
Project3, and so forth.
Larger Block Reads from Hard Disk
Version 4.2 reverts to the larger block reads from hard disk as found in Version 4.0 of
MMR/MMP software. This change has been re-implemented to prevent audio dropouts with
problematic drives.
MMR Will No Longer Generate OpenTL Sessions Instead
of Pro Tools Sessions
Version 4.2 fixes a bug that caused the MMR to record an OpenTL session instead of a Pro
Tools session, under specific conditions.
Extra 2 Minutes Prior to TapeMode Start Time Eliminated
Version 4.2 of MMR/MMP software eliminates the extra 2 minutes of recording time at the
beginning of TapeMode projects.
