Mixdown; Basic Locate Function - Fostex D2424LV Quick Operation Manual

After overdubbing and ping-pong recording, you can mix all track data into two channel stereo data and
record it onto your master recorder. This final process of multitrack recording is called "mixdown."
The mixdown signals are usually output from the mixer's STEREO OUT L/R. Connect the master recorder
Initialize the recorder.
1. Set all tracks to the SAFE status.
2. Locate the top of the Program on this recorder.
3. Set the master recorder to REC-STANDBY mode.
4. Play the Program from the beginning and adjust the
recording level on the master recorder while adjusting
the tonal quality and mix balance of the playback
sound from the mixer. (Rehearsal)

STEREO OUT L/R meters on the mixer respond to the same
degree as the level meters on the master recorder.
The Locate function enables you to locate the desired point (move the current position of the recorder)
immediately. There are two locate methods: storing the desired locate point (time or bar/beat/clock
value) into the memory keys, and locating the point without storing it.
This section explains "Locating the top of the Program" and "Locating the last recording point in the Program"
and do not involve storing locate points. Refer to the Reference Manual for information on storing and
locating locate points.
On this recorder, the top of the Program on the disk is called "ABS 0" and the end of the recorded area is called "REC END." (If the
Program has no data recorded, ABS 0 corresponds to REC END.) You can use this function to locate the ABS 0 or REC END point
immediately, regardless of the current recorder position.
