How long will it take to transfer audio between the HD24 and a computer via the Ethernet port?
Transfer speed will vary depending on the speed of the computer and the software used. The HD24 transfer speed itself is over 4 times real-time so transferring a vocal track to a workstation for some more in depth tweaking will only take a few moments. However, moving a full 24-track song using Ethernet can take longer than real-time because the format does not transfer all 24 tracks at once. In any case, it will vary depending on the speed of the computer or network receiving the files, and upon the FTP software of the computer. Specialized FTP transfer software (like Transmit, available as shareware from Panic Software, or WSFTP (PC), or Fetch (Mac)) does the job in 1/6th of the time of some web browser software. Transferring a 24-track 4minute song takes about 16 minutes to a Mac using Transmit. Once in the Mac or PC, you can drop the tracks into any digital audio editor (such as Logic Audio by Emagic, the company who designed the ADAT/EDIT software) and perform waveform editing, mi
