Why do I need to set the session audio files folder?

If you are recording and wish to use the Restore and/or Replace features, you must set the correct Session folder in the Q Manager for each new session you open.

The Q Manager 'watches' this folder for all incoming recordings, and if it finds a recording from Q-enabled Source-Connect it will look for any drop-outs. If needed it will start the Restore process (if 'Suspend' is not enabled, the process will start immediately). Depending on the length of the file and the available bandwidth this process can take as little as a couple of seconds.

Each file recorded with Q-enabled Source-Connect will return a status. See the User Guide for details on all possible statuses.

If you are recording with Q-enabled Source-Connect and do not see your files in the Q Manager activity panel, you need to verify your Session folder in the Setup panel and re-apply the Q Manager.
