• Channel mute
• Channel solo
To adjust the above settings on an individual channel, perform the following steps:
• Use the Up/Down buttons to cycle the cursor through the different channels. The currently
selected channel will be highlighted.
• Once the desired channel is selected, press the select button to toggle between volume,
mute/solo and panning.
• Set the desired values with the up/down buttons. The display will change to show you the
adjustments being made
• A fourth press of the select button will un-highlight the parameters of the selected channel,
and you are now free to use the Up/Down buttons to navigate to another channel.
In order to prevent unintended operations of assorted mixer settings that may cause confusion
when operating the recorder, the above settings work as follows:
• The solo settings will only be active while the monitoring menu is active and visible
• The mute setting will only be active until the LR-16 is restarted
In contrast, the volume and panning settings for each channel are saved to the Live Recorder’s
internal memory, and will be preserved upon the next powering on of the unit.
Note that user adjustments to the internal mixer can only be done when the LR-16 is currently
recording or playing back a take; Adjustments must be made while the no recording is currently
occurring.
8.9.5. Delete recording
This screen allows you to delete previously recorded takes from the attached USB disk.
This feature can be useful if previous takes are no longer needed (for example they have already
been copied to your computer/DAW) and you need to free up additional space on the attached
drive.
To delete a take, press the Up/Down buttons to select a track, then press the Select button to
delete the selected track.
To prevent accidental deletion of a take, the LR-16 will present you with an “Are You Sure”
message before deleting the selected take.
8.9.6. Format USB device
The format function can be used to format an attached hard drive or thumb drive that is connected
to the Live Recorder.
This operation can be useful in the following scenarios:
• The attached drive has not passed the LR-16’s drive test, because it is not currently
formatted in the required FAT-32 disk format
• The attached drive has been previously formatted in the correct FAT-32 format, but has not
had its data blocks optimized properly by the computer it was formatted on, resulting in a
failure of the LR-16 disk test.
• The attached disc is full, due to containing previous takes that are no longer needed since
they have been copied to a computer, and all of the disc’s space needs to be freed up for
recordings that are about to take place. In this case, formatting the disk may be a quicker
method than deleting existing takes, one by one, on the “Delete Recordings” screen.
All data as well as all partitions on the
thumb or hard drive will be deleted when
the format function is used!
8.9.7. MMC/Mackie Control (USB Interface Mode Only)
When the LR-16 is attached to a computer and operating as a USB computer audio interface, an
additional menu choice appears “MMC/Mackie Control”.
This menu allows you to configure the five transport keys on the top panel of the LR-16, to
transmit control surface commands using either of two common protocols:
• MIDI Machine Control (MMC)
• Mackie Control
With either of these protocols enabled, you may use the transport keys to control the transport
in any DAW that is compatible with either MMC or Mackie Control. This capability provides a
more comfortable method of controlling the DAW transport, than selecting its onscreen transport
controls using a mouse.
