Defining your capture settings
streams, the second audio stream will be saved to a separate audio file named
clipID_2ndStream.wav.

4 Under Transport Control Shortcuts, select which style of keyboard
shortcuts you would like to use to navigate through clips on tape or clips on
disk with the transport controls. For a list of available shortcuts, see
“Keyboard shortcuts” on page 206.

1394 device, this will be mentioned in the RT.X Support section of our web
site.
