Getting Started

Project

· Start a new project (PROJECT:New). Either accept

the default name (Project#1) by selecting New, or press

Page Right

to enter a new name. When finished,

press Page Left

and select New.

I/O

Choose either the analog inputs or digital inputs using

the INPUT TYPE SELECT menu (SETUP:I/O:Page

Right Twice

:INPUT TYPE SELECT

), or customize

a combination of both.

See "Hookups" on page 12 of the Operation Manual for

examples of both analog and digital connections.

· By default, track numbers are assigned to their

corresponding inputs and outputs. You can customize

the mapping of the inputs (SETUP:I/O:TRACK INPUT

SELECT

) and outputs (SETUP:I/O:Page Right

TRACK OUTPUT SELECT

) to different tracks.

Sync:

· Choose the sample clock source (SETUP:Sync:SClk).

If the SDR24/96 is providing the master clock, select

Internal. If the SDR is a slave and syncing to an

external clock through the Word Clock input, select

Word Clock. Select ADAT A, B, or C if syncing to a self-

clocking ADATTM optical input.

· Choose the sample rate (SETUP:Sync:SRate). When

recording with the analog inputs, choose any sample

rate appropriate for your project. You must use the same

sample rate throughout a project.

When recording with

the digital inputs, the sample rate must be the same as

the digital source.

· Choose your preferred sample size (SETUP:Sync:Page

Right

:SSize

), either 16-bit or 24-bit.

· Choose the time code source (SETUP:Sync:TcSrc) if

the SDR is chasing to time code (T-CODE CHASE). Use

Jam Continuous when all devices are synced to the

same master clock. Use Chase when the you are using

the SDR24/96's internal sample clock (no external clock

connected) and you want to sync to external time code.

Front Panel Description

Channel Level Indicators:

Indicate the signal level

at the inputs or outputs, depending on the monitoring

mode selected. OL on the meter corresponds to +22 dBu

at the analog input, and 0 dBFS at the digital input.

Record Ready Buttons:

Used to arm tracks for

recording, or to select tracks for editing. The red LED at

the bottom of the meter blinks while in Record Standby,

and lights steadily while actually recording.

POWER Switch:

Turns the SDR24/96 on and off.

Drive Bay:

For removable drives like the Mackie

Media M·90 and the Project ORBTM cartridge.

DELETE LAST:

Deletes the last record pass (must

be the last action in the History List). You cannot undo

Delete Last.

TRACK:

Accesses track options including Mute,

Virtual Tracks, and Track Name.

PROJECT:

Accesses project options including New,

Open, Save, Save As, Delete, Copy, Rename, and Purge.

AUTO TAKE:

Used for multiple record passes. When

Auto Increment mode is selected, virtual track numbers

are automatically incremented after each record pass.

In Auto Edit mode, multiple recordings take place on

the same virtual track, but previously recorded audio for

the take is shifted down to the next virtual track.

T-CODE CHASE:

Allows the SDR24/96 to sync to

external time code.

LOCATE:

Jump to Locate 1, 2, 3, or 4.

STORE:

Store Locate points 1-4.

LOOP:

Enables looped playback or recording.

PUNCH:

Enables Auto Punch mode.

REHEARSE:

Use to practice punching-in and

punching-out. Punch-in and punch-out points are

automatically saved to Locates 3 and 4, respectively.

ALL INPUT:

Both armed and unarmed tracks

monitor their inputs in Play and Record. Use for

rehearsing and level-setting.

AUTO INPUT:

Both armed and unarmed tracks

monitor their previously recorded audio in Play, and

armed tracks monitor their inputs in Record (unarmed

tracks still monitor their previously recorded audio).

Use for recording.

Status Display:

Error, Sample Rate, Word Length,

VariSpeed, and Time Code Sync indicators.

Current Time Display:

Shows the current locator

time in Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames.

EXT CLOCK:

Indicates when the SDR24/96 syncs to

an external clock.

LCD Display:

Backlit 2x24-segment display provides

selection options for the four SELECT buttons.
