Basic analog recording
1. Press the [RECORD TRACK] select key of the desired
recording track to set it in READY mode.
The “ready” track indicator (a small square) flashes
on the display.
Selecting a recording track
Adjusting the recording level
This recorder does not have any recording level
controls. You need to adjust the recording level on the
device that outputs recording data. Use the group
master faders on the mixer (faders that control the
output level of BUSS OUTs). Set the recording tracks
on this recorder to input monitoring status so that you
can check the level adjustment.
2. Press the [RECORD] button once. (The RECORD LED
flashes.)
The “ready” tracks enter the input monitoring status.
As you raise the group output level on the mixer, the
level meter segments of the ready tracks light up.
Adjust the level so that the “0” to “3” level segments
of the level meter light up at the highest peak.
If the “OL” segments of the meter light up, the
recording level is too high. If the recording level is
too high on a digital recorder, the recording signal
may distort, unlike an analog recorder. Especially, if
you are recording vocal or acoustic instruments, the
recording level may suddenly peak.
In this case, you may want to lower the signal peak by
applying a compressor/limiter using an insertion
connector.
3. Hold down the [RECORD] button and press the
[PLAY] button.
The flashing RECORD LED and the track indicator (a
small square) light up steadily.
Starting recording
4. Press the [STOP] button.
When the recorder section is stopped, the “Please Wait!
message appears on the display momentarily, then
the current position appears.
The ready track indicators flash.
Stopping recording
Playing the recorded tracks
<Undo and redo recording>
If you make a mistake or you are not satisfied with the
recording, you can “undo” recording. Refer to the “Undo
and redo recording” section below.
Flashing
The following explanation assumes that this recorder has been connected to an external mixing console (as explained
in the “Connecting a Mixer” section). Because the D2424LVmkII can accept 24 channel analog signals, you can
record up to 24 audio sources simultaneously.
5. Press the [RECORD TRACK] select keys for the ready
tracks to set the tracks in the safe status.
The flashing track indicators turn off.
6. Hold down the [STOP] button and press the
[REWIND] button to locate the top of the Program
(ABS 0).
The top of the Program is immediately located in
LOCATE ABS 0 mode.
7. Press the [PLAY] button.
The playback starts from the top of the Program.
Adjust the level of input signal at TAPE IN on the mixer
and monitor the sound.
Repeat the procedure described above to record more
tracks (mono track or multiple tracks). You can record
eight different sound sources on this recorder
simultaneously.
Basic recording
After you finish preparing a recording media and connecting a mixer, you can start basic recording using this
recorder.
