Page 3: Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION With the addition of the SYNC group feature, uTrack24 turns into a scalable recorder and player system, adding up to up to 96 audio channels, or offering redundant channels and still keeping the simple and intuitive handling that you already are familiar with. -
Page 4: Network Setup
However, this setup does not allow using uRemote because the system is not connected to WLAN. To increase the system’s channel count, and to add WLAN for uRemote control, connect your uTrack24 units to a standard WLAN router: uTrack24 units feature a DHCP client, so all units will seamlessly connect if the WLAN router has DHCP server enabled. -
Page 5: Sync Groups
Creating a SYNC Group In a first step, define which unit will be your MASTER unit. The MASTER uTrack24 is in charge of controlling the SYNC group, either using the buttons which are all lit up and fully functional as in stand-alone mode, or through uRemote. -
Page 6: Dissolving A Sync Group
Note: The changes in the MASTER will be sent to the SLAVES when the menu entry is left, and after a timeout. Warning: Do not use differing clock modes on uTrack24 units within a SYNC group, to avoid clicks and pops due to asynchronous operation. -
Page 7: Recording
Warning: Synchronized playback is not guaranteed if a slave has been stopped manually. Note: If the recordings have been stopped in an improper way, import the recording with uTool and export it again, in order to avoid playback problems due to track length mismatch. SYNC RECORDING uTrack24 Aug. 2016... -
Page 8: Utool
6. uTOOL uTool is a simple yet important tool in your work flow. It is not only the interface between your uTrack24 (and other Cymatic Audio products) and your DAW running on your computer, converting and optimizing the takes for your DAW and for uTrack24. -
Page 9: Export Playback Content
Warning: Exporting to synchronized units requires matching content on all hard drives. If the content doesn’t match, the units might play at different song positions or even play different songs after a gapless transition. Warning: With a SYNC group, playback without gaps between songs requires a playlist that defines no pause. SYNC uTOOL uTrack24 Aug. 2016... -
Page 10: Playback
SYNC group will start the playback instantly at the click of the play button. If "Prepare Rec" is ON, it will take a few seconds until the playback will start. Note: When mainly used as a player, set “Prepare Rec” to OFF in order to have instant playback. SYNC PLAYBACK uTrack24 Aug. 2016... -

The SLAVES are indented and in correct order The entire SYNC group should be controlled through the MASTER unit, as you would do using the local buttons. Note: Use uTool to rename your units for better identification. SYNC DEVICE FAILURE uTrack24 Aug. 2016... -
Page 12: Use Cases
10.1. Recording 32 Channels (Stacked Mode) Recording a large scene is now possible using up to 4 uTrack24 units, with a total track count of up to 96. In this example a 32-channel recording setup is shown step by step. - Page 13 Select take(s) to import Select one or multiple takes. Note: uTool displays the SYNC group assignment for each take (“Master”, “Slave1”, …) Click “Import” to start the import. Import SYNC USE CASES uTrack24 Aug. 2016...

Page 14: Recording 24 Channels (Redundant Mode)
10.2. Recording 24 Channels (Redundant Mode) Recording in redundant mode is achieved by feeding the same audio channels to more than one uTrack24. While this can be done without a SYNC group, the SYNC group has the advantage of operating on one unit only, the MASTER, and having the certainty that the SLAVE will be providing an identical backup recording –... - Page 15 Select take(s) to import Select one or multiple takes.

Make sure to properly label your hard disks in order not to end up with swapped audio channels in your playback setup. Note: Make sure you properly label your hard disks. uTrack24 will play out the hard disk content without any checks if the content matches the SYNC group unit. - Page 17 Connect your audio tracks to the MASTER and to the SLAVE. Connect MASTER and SLAVES to the Ethernet switch. Power up Connect the hard disks to the proper uTrack24 unit and power up the system.
