After you finish preparing a recording media and connecting a mixer, you can start basic recording using this
recorder.
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.
Selecting a recording track
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.

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.
