Checking Available Disk Space
The DigiCart/II Plus cannot record or copy a cut to a disk that is full. It will indicate DISK IS
FULL and abort the operation. Before recording or copying a cut, note the cut length and compare
it with the available disk space, which is displayed when the front panel STOP button is held
depressed continuously.
Remember that the remaining time is valid only for the currently selected sampling frequency and
mono/stereo choice. If DigiCart/II Plus is set to some other sampling rate and you need to know the
exact time remaining, temporarily set it to match the cut to be copied. (This is done only for your
information; there is no technical reason to do this prior to copying a cut.)
As a rule of thumb, remember that going from mono to stereo cuts the available time in half, and
vice-versa. Also, recordings made at 32K samples use two-thirds as much disk space as those made
at 48K.
Setting Record Levels
1. Using tone, set a "zero" level on the mixer or other program source.
2. Press the REC button to view the input signals.
3. Adjust the INPUT LEVEL controls so that -12 meter segments are lighted and the -9
segments are "just off".
