To record:
1. Arm one or more tracks.
2. Press RECORD and PLAY at the same time. Record can
be activated during Stop or Play. If One Button Record is
enabled, Record can be activated during play just by
pressing the RECORD button.
3. Press any transport button other than RECORD to stop recording.
The Record LED glows when the SDR24/96 is recording and blinks when
RECORD
is engaged with no tracks armed (master record standby mode).
Post-record processing time: After a record pass, the SDR takes a few moments to
process the recording that has just taken place and update the project file. The
longer the recording, the longer this processing time takes. For full 24-track
recording that lasts for eight or ten minutes, the post-processing time could take
up to a minute. During this time, the STOP LED blinks and all transport functions
are disabled.
Track Options
Each of the 24 tracks on the SDR24/96 has 8 virtual tracks associated with it.
Virtual tracks are used to record multiple takes, so you can compare the takes and
decide which one to keep. Only one virtual track can be active at at time. You can
give a unique name to each track to help you remember what is recorded on each
track. You can also mute individual tracks.
Mute
The Track Mute menu (TRACK:Mute)
toggles muting for each track. When
a track is muted, its corresponding
meter is also muted (no indication).
Use the Page Right button to page through
the various tracks, and use the SELECT
buttons to toggle the mute for each track.
An asterisk (*) indicates the track is muted.
Virtual Track
The Virtual Track menu (TRACK:Virtual) lets
you select the active virtual track for each track.
Use the Page Right button to page through the various tracks, and use the SELECT
buttons to increment the virtual track number, which wraps around from 8 to 1.
Track Name
The Track Name menu (TRACK:Name)
allows you to enter a unique name for each
track. Audio files are named after the track
name. Select a track by using the <</>>
buttons to scroll through the 24 tracks. The default name assigned to each track
is Track 1, Track 2, etc.
To give a track a new name, press the Page
Right button. A blinking cursor appears
over the first character of the name of the selected track. Use the increment (Inc)
and decrement (Dec) buttons to change the highlighted character. It scrolls through
a modified ASCII character set. Use the >> button to move to the next character.
Press the Page Left button when finished, and then select Save.
