MDR24/96 Operation
Now that you’ve finished installing and configuring the MDR24/96, you’re almost
ready to start your first Project. We still want you to read this entire guide, but we
already hear some of you shuffling and muttering. Okay, okay, okay... for the
terminally impatient, read this chapter, then you can go out and play with your
friends.
This section explains all you need to know to run a basic recording session:
opening and creating Projects, operating the Transport, setting levels, and
recording and overdubbing tracks. After you’re done recording, you will learn how
to back up your project to Mackie Media M•90 and Mackie Media PROJECT
drives.
Because this section just touches on the basics of MDR24/96 operation, we
strongly recommend going through the Technical Reference manual to learn about
advanced MDR24/96 features like, Virtual Takes, FTP file transfer,
synchronization, and more.

Opening Projects
The MDR24/96 organizes audio files and session information into folders called
Projects. When the MDR24/96 boots up, it automatically opens the last Project
you worked on. We’ve included two demonstration Projects, Ode to Masters and
Little Bit of Love, to help you get familiar with the MDR24/96 right out of the box.
At this point, you should see the name of the demo Project in the LCD display.
To open a Project:
1. Press Project. In the Project
Files Menu, select Open.
2. Choose the drive you want to
open the Project on by selecting
either Internal or External from
the Select Source Drive screen
using the (–)Dec / (+)Inc or << /
>>
buttons. The selection
defaults to the drive containing
the currently open Project. Press
Next
.
3. Use the (–)Dec / (+)Inc or the
<< / >> buttons to select the
desired Project, then select Open.
