Model D2424 Reference Manual (Before Starting)
Real tracks and Additional tracks
The D2424 contains, in addition to 24 real tracks that can be recorded/played back/edited in real
time as one program, 32 additional tracks (In the current drive formatted at 96kHz/24bits or
88.2kHz/24 bits, it will be 8 real tracks + 48 additional tracks.).
Real tracks are normally used for real time recording of sound sources and the additional tracks
serve the purpose of temporarily storing the sound recorded on the real tracks. In other words, by
temporarily moving data recorded in the real track to an additional track, another performance
can be recorded on the empty real track.
To exchange real tracks with additional tracks, the D2424 contains a "Track exchange function."
By using this function, exchange is possible between all tracks, for mono tracks, stereo pair tracks
(2 tracks) and in groups of 8 track units.
If the record time of the data existing on the
additional track is longer than the data on the
real track and all tracks are saved on an
external DAT or adat, then the data of the
additional track can only be saved for the time
equal to the real track, and the remaining data
is not saved. This is because the ABS 0 to REC
END of the real track is automatically
recognized and saved. There is a need to
exchange the track using the track exchange
function in this case, as well.
Data on the Additional tracks also affects the
REMAIN value. If Real tracks contain no data,
but Additional tracks contain data, the amount
of data (time and space) will be reflected in
the REMAIN value. You cannot record data on Additional tracks
in real-time. Also, you cannot play back data
on Additional tracks as is in real-time.
If you wish to play back data on an Additional
track, first use the Track Exchange function to
move the data to a Real track. Also, you need
to move the data to a Real track if you wish to
check the REC END point of a song on an
Additional track.
Track composition of a D2424 formatted in
96kHz/24bit or 88.2kHz/24bit will be 8 Real
Tracks + 48 Additional Tracks.
Refer to page “ 72 ” for more information on
the Track Exchange function.
