Monitoring
The Monitor Mode buttons determine what you hear from the MDR24/96 Tape
Outputs. The MDR24/96 offers several familiar monitoring modes to facilitate
rehearsal, tracking, and overdubbing.
All Input
All Input is used for rehearsal and level setting. When All Input is on, both
armed and unarmed tracks monitor their inputs, and the Auto Input setting
has no effect.
To enable All Input:
♦ Press the All Input button. The LED above the
button when All Input is on.
Auto Input
Auto Input is used for recording. Auto Input affects only tracks that are in
Record Ready (“armed”). Tracks that are not armed only monitor the
playback of previously recorded audio. All Input overrides Auto Input. To use
Auto Input, All Input must be turned off.
When Auto Input is On, armed tracks monitor their inputs in Stop, Fast
Forward, Rewind, and Record. In Play, you hear only what’s already recorded
on the tracks. This mode is used primarily for tracking and overdubbing,
where you want to hear what’s been previously recorded on the track before
the punch-in and after the punch-out. During the punch, you hear what is
presently being recorded. Auto Input On is the default mode when you power
up the MDR24/96.
When Auto Input is Off, armed tracks always monitor their inputs. This mode
is used primarily for rehearsal and tracking, where you want to always hear
what you’re playing rather than what’s already recorded on that track.
To enable Auto Input:
♦ Press the Auto Input button. The
glowing LED above the button
indicates that it’s ON.

In the MDR24/96 and HDR24/96, Playlists are that part of a Project that keeps track of all of your record-
ing and editing, and controls what you hear when you hit Play. The HDR24/96 supports multiple Playlists
while the MDR24/96 supports only one. If an HDR24/96 Project is played back on the MDR24/96, the
MDR24/96 will play back the last Playlist saved in the HDR24/96 Project.
