2 Operations

The FST/Connect Main Window

The main window of FST/Connect has four major subdivisions,

each of which contains between two and nine functions. There are

also five pull-down menus with additional functions. Everything

you can do with FST/Connect happens from here, so let’s go

through the windows and menus one by one.

The Drive window

The boxed-in section in the left upper half of the main window is

called the Drive window. It looks like this:

From this window you can see the name of the selected FST drive,

its file system version, the number of projects it contains, and how

much recording time it has available.

The Drive window has three sub menus that allow different

choices. The first, “Name,” has a pull-down arrow on the right side

that allows you to select which FST drive you are using. This is for

use with multiple FirePort 1394 systems.

The second and third sub menus with selectable options are inside

the Free Space Preview (FSP) window. As you can see, the smaller

box “Length” does not have a pull-down arrow to its right; it will

change automatically as you adjust the two boxes immediately

below it. The “At” box allows you to select between four sample

rates for the FSP reading (44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96). The “For” box

allows you to select the track depth for the FSP reading: its choices

can be 2, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 (depending on the sample rate

selected in the “At” box). So on this particular hard drive you

would have one hour, 30 minutes and 17 seconds available for

recording a 24-track song at 48 kHz.

and Shortcuts

f you are new to using a PC, you

may want to check out the

section on window navigation

and keyboard shortcuts found in

Chapter Three: Applications.

There are keystrokes that will be

very familiar for long-time

Windows users that you may find

to be very useful. To see this

information, turn to page 34.

t is possible to give the FST

drive a name of up to 64

characters in length. This and

other functions are handled

inside the Drive pull-down menu.

See page 28 for details.
