Input Monitoring And Playback Monitoring - Fostex D2424LVmk2 Reference Manual

There are two methods for monitoring track sound (only on the Real tracks): input monitoring and playback
monitoring. They are defined as follows:
Input monitoring
Input monitoring means to listen to what is being input to the recorder so that you can verify sound
quality and etc. Either one of the following procedure is used to input monitor any Real Track or all
Real Tracks.
• Entering any Real Track to input monitoring
To enter any desired track for Input Monitoring, press
the desired [RECORD TRACK] select key to enter it in
the READY mode and then press the [RECORD] button.
If the [RECORD] button is pressed again, the recorder
will enter the repro mode. The recorder will enter
record standby mode and the READY track only will
be Input Monitoring.
The recording level can now be adjusted.
• Entering all Real Tracks to input monitoring
To enter all Real Tracks to input monitoring, press
the [TRACK SHIFT] key while holding down the [SHIFT]
key.
Unlike the previous case of selecting any desired track,
Real Tracks can all be input monitored even though
the [RECORD] button is not pressed. After adjusting
the recording level, to simultaneously start recording
all tracks, enter all tracks in the READY mode by
pressing the [RECORD] button while holding down the
[SHIFT] key.
• Entering a track set to Input Monitoring to
"recording mode"
To enter the recording mode with any desired track
or all tracks in the READY state, press the PLAY button
while holding down the [RECORD] button.
READY tracks will enter the recording mode, the
READY track LED change to constant light and the
RECORD LED will be lit.
Simultaneous with entering the recording mode,
READY tracks will be input monitoring and recording
can be done while monitoring the recording sound at
the recorder output.
Playback monitoring
"Playback monitoring" means to monitor the playback sound of the tracks (only Real tracks).
That is, you are monitoring the playback sound on the track, not the sound being recorded to the track.
* The following example shows that all tracks are in Playback Monitoring mode.
* To play the sound on an Additional track, you need to move the data from the Additional track to a
Real track. Refer to "Track Exchange function" on page "77" for more information.
