Recording Mode - Roland VS-2400CD Owner's Manual

Recording Mode

The VS-2400CD provides eight "recording modes" from which to choose. A project's
recording mode configures the VS-2400CD's hard disk recorder at the desired balance
between a project's audio quality, how many tracks the project contains, and the
amount of disk space its audio consumes.
Unless you have a reason to do otherwise, use the 24-track, 24-bit MTP recording mode.
The VS-2400CD Owner's Manual assumes that your projects use this mode, except as
noted.
Description of Each Recording Mode

Use the 44.1k sample rate when creating a CDR mode project since only 44.1k
audio can be burned onto a CD. Tracks in CDR mode are linked as odd/even pairs.
All modes can record up to 16 tracks at once if the sampling rate is 48k or lower.
All modes can record up to 8 tracks at once if the sampling rate is 64k or higher.
Description:
Audio is recorded as linear 24-bit data.
This is the VS-2400CD's default 24-bit recording mode.
Audio is recorded as 16-bit linear data in a CD disk-image file
format ready for burning to an audio CD (Page 332)—great
for compiling mastering tracks for an album's worth of songs.
Audio is recorded as 16-bit linear data similar to that
produced by a CD player or DAT recorder.
This recording mode offers twice the recording time of M16
while preserving its sound quality.
This mode offers even more recording time than MT1.
Use the LIV mode when you're doing live recording and can't
be sure how long you'll need to keep recording. It's also
handy if you're running out of space on your hard drive.
Use LV2 for recording speech, for reference recordings, or if
you're concerned about running out of disk space.
