What is the difference between the Restore and the Replace functions?
Restore resolves the problem of dropped packets by working in the background in non-real time and restoring each small lost piece of data that is now in your recorded audio files: when correctly configured, any recording made over the internet that has a dropout will be perfectly “restored” by the time you or your engineer goes back and listen to it.
Replace works in a similar way, except you are sending the original PCM data which was cached in your Cached Audio Data folder, so instead of only requesting those packets which did not arrive in time, the entire file requested and thus is “replaces” the network recording in the engineer’s DAW . In this way, a complete replacement of the decoded AAC-ELDv2 audio is made with the full resolution PCM audio. An important distinction between Replace and Restore, is that Replace operations will take longer to transfer due to PCM being uncompressed data. Generally we would recommend your engineer to activate the Replace process once your session is complete or you could risk creating additional drop-outs in your on-going session.
