Also, if you are importing projects from another system, it's quite likely that the tracks will
have been named so it might be wise to use IMPORT NAMES as well. Whatever you choose,
to import the files, press OK. You will see a progress display as the files are imported and at
the end of the process, you will see a confirmation dialogue - press OK [F6].
Importing multiple files in this way is ideal for working on projects that have been created
on other systems. Although the DPS24 cannot read their Q-Lists directly, being able to read
each file's timestamp on the DPS24 allows you to effectively re-create the Q-List from the
project on that system.
However, please note one thing...
It's quite possible that the original project created on the other system has several cues at
different times on one track:
Of course, all these small cues have unique timestamps but, because it is not possible to
assign more than one recording to any given DPS24 track, the individual files will need to be
spread across several tracks.
However, having said that, most systems should be able 'render' these individual recordings
as one long take that can be placed on one track (or a stereo pair) of the DPS24. I.e.
Many systems will render individual recordings by default.
