Selecting a track to record
Digital recording is only an option of "DIRECT RECORD"
that was described in the section on basic recording
choices. It is not possible to apply equalization or ef-
fect on the signals recorded.
1. Press the [INPUT SEL] key. Check to see that ch9-ch16
are all set to "TRK".
If any channel is set to "IN", modify the setting to "TRK".
2. Press the [DIRECT-REC TRK] key.
The display to select the REC track appears.
3. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of the track that was
set with "Digital In".
The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of the channel selected flashes
RED.
4. Press the [EXIT/NO] key to return to the Normal Display.
<Important>
If the track for digital recording is set from the "Digital In" menu of the SETUP mode, then tracks not assigned
for digital REC can record analog signals at the same time.
For example, if S/P DIF digital signals are recorded on tracks 1 and 2, it would then be possible to record
analog signals on the remaining tracks 3-16.
With this function, it is possible to simultaneously record 16 tracks with adat digital and analog signals.
However, the prerequisite is that "DIRECT RECORD" is the recording option being used. For further details,
refer to the section on "Recording 16 Tracks at the Same Time" described below.
This section describes how to simultaneously record a total of 16 tracks consisting of 8 analog signals and 8 adat
digital signals. Simply put, tracks 1-8 record the adat digital signals from VC-8 or D824mkII and tracks 9-16 DIRECT
RECORD the 8 analog signals.
