Digital And Analog Simultaneous Recording - Fostex D-108 Owner's Manual

Set the "Digital Input Track Setup". Analog signal recording is possible for all other tracks that are not assigned
when recording S/P DIF digital signals (excluding adat digital signals). Use this function to simultaneously record
a total of 8 tracks with a breakdown of 2 S/P DIF digital signals (L, R) and 6 analog signals. In the following
connection example, S/P DIF signals from CD, MD or DAT are input sources to track 1 and 2, and the instrument/
vocal analog signals pass through the mixer to tracks 3-8, to simultaneously record 8 tracks. Put the D-108 in the
"Initial Setting" prior top starting operations.
Note:
In the same way as "Recording from external digital equipment," be sure to set any external
digital equipment and the D-108 to the same sampling rate.
BUSS OUT (GROUP OUT) 1~8
Note:
Normally, when using commercial equipment such as CD or MD for recording, set to [Opt.] the SETUP
mode [Clock Sel.?] menu. If a recording is made with the [Clock Sel.?] menu remained in the initial setting [Int.],
the clock will change become asynchronous and cause sound deterioration. For information on setting up the
[Clock Sel.?] menu, refer to page 122.
Connecting an external digital device
and musical instruments
1. Connect the DATA IN jack of the D-108 with the
OPTICAL OUT jack of an external digital device
using an optical cable.
If the digital device has only the COAXIAL (RCA pin) jack
as a digital output, use a Fostex COP-1.
2. Connect the analog signal sound source to the
mixer input.
For any musical instruments or microphones to be
connected as the sound source, set the mixer to record
on tracks 3-8 on the D-108.
Starting the recording Program
1. If multiple Programs exist, first select the desired
recording Program.

Setting a digital input track
1. In the "Setting digital input tracks" menu in SETUP
mode, set [L: 1] and [R: 2], then exit SETUP mode.
Now inputs L and R from the external digital device are
assigned to tracks 1 and 2.
When you finish setting the parameters in SETUP mode,
be sure to press the EXIT/NO key or the STOP key to exit
SETUP mode.
Setting a recording track
1. Set the RECORD TRACK select keys 1-8 in READY
mode for recording on tracks 1-8.
With this setting, digital signals can be recorded on tracks
1 and 2 and sound sources such as musical instruments
connected to the mixer inputs can be simultaneously
recorded on tracks 3-8.
