Model D2424LV Reference Manual (Before Starting)
Real tracks and Additional tracks
The D2424LV contains, in addition to 24 real tracks that can be recorded/played back/edited in
real time as one program, 32 additional tracks (In the current drive formatted at 96kHz/24bits or
88.2kHz/24 bits, it will be 8 real 48 additional tracks.).
Real tracks are normally used for real time recording of sound sources and the additional tracks
serve the purpose of temporarily storing the sound recorded on the real tracks. In other words, by
temporarily moving data recorded in the real track to an additional track, another performance
can be recorded on the empty real track.
To exchange real tracks with additional tracks, the D2424LV contains a "Track exchange function."
By using this function, exchange is possible between all tracks, for mono tracks, stereo pair tracks
(2 tracks) and in groups of 8 track units.
<Notes>
• The “
Format conversion of the additional track
”
menu is contained in the SETUP mode of this
recorder.
Using this menu, it is possible to convert or
reverse convert, the additional track format
of the current drive presently in use to the
“
V2 (56)
” format (real track + additional track
= 56).
With this menu, the additional track format
of the current drive presently in use can be
converted or reverse converted from the “
V2
(56)
” format (real track + additional track =
56) to the “
V1 (24)
” format (real track +
additional track = 24).
What this menu is that hard disk
compatibility is possible between the “
V2
(56)
” format D2424/D824mkII/D1624mkII
and the “
V1 (24)
” format D824/D1624.
In other words, a hard disk recorded in “
V2
(56)
” format equipment can be used in “
V1
(24)
” format equipment, or the reverse.
However, care must be taken when
converting the format. Refer to the SETUP
mode in page “
133
” for details.
• Track composition of a D2424LV formatted
in 96kHz/24bit or 88.2kHz/24bit will be 8
Real 48 Additional Tracks.
<Notes>
• You cannot record data on Additional tracks
in real-time. Also, you cannot play back data
on Additional tracks as is in real-time.
If you wish to play back data on an
Additional track, first use the Track Exchange
function to move the data to a Real track.
Also, you need to move the data to a Real
track if you wish to check the REC END point
of a song on an Additional track. Refer to
page “
74
” for more information on the Track
Exchange function.
• Data on the Additional tracks also affects the
REMAIN value. If Real tracks contain no data,
but Additional tracks contain data, the
amount of data (time and space) will be
reflected in the REMAIN value.
• If the record time of the data existing on the
additional track is longer than the data on
the real track and all tracks are saved on an
external DAT or adat, then the data of the
additional track can only be saved for the
time equal to the real track, and the
remaining data is not saved. This is because
the ABS 0 to REC END of the real track is
automatically recognized and saved. There
is a need to exchange the track using the
track exchange function in this case, as well.
Refer to page “
87
” for more information on
the SAVE/LOAD function.
