Getting Started
Project
· Start a new project (PROJECT:New). Either accept
the default name (Project#1) by selecting New, or press
Page Right
to enter a new name. When finished,
press Page Left
and select New.
I/O
·
Choose either the analog inputs or digital inputs using
the INPUT TYPE SELECT menu (SETUP:I/O:Page
Right Twice
:INPUT TYPE SELECT
), or customize
a combination of both.
See "Hookups" on page 12 of the Operation Manual for
examples of both analog and digital connections.
· By default, track numbers are assigned to their
corresponding inputs and outputs. You can customize
the mapping of the inputs (SETUP:I/O:TRACK INPUT
SELECT
) and outputs (SETUP:I/O:Page Right
:
TRACK OUTPUT SELECT
) to different tracks.
Sync:
· Choose the sample clock source (SETUP:Sync:SClk).
If the SDR24/96 is providing the master clock, select
Internal. If the SDR is a slave and syncing to an
external clock through the Word Clock input, select
Word Clock. Select ADAT A, B, or C if syncing to a self-
clocking ADATTM optical input.
· Choose the sample rate (SETUP:Sync:SRate). When
recording with the analog inputs, choose any sample
rate appropriate for your project. You must use the same
sample rate throughout a project.
When recording with
the digital inputs, the sample rate must be the same as
the digital source.
· Choose your preferred sample size (SETUP:Sync:Page
Right
:SSize
), either 16-bit or 24-bit.
· Choose the time code source (SETUP:Sync:TcSrc) if
the SDR is chasing to time code (T-CODE CHASE). Use
Jam Continuous when all devices are synced to the
same master clock. Use Chase when the you are using
the SDR24/96's internal sample clock (no external clock
connected) and you want to sync to external time code.
Front Panel Description
Channel Level Indicators:
Indicate the signal level
at the inputs or outputs, depending on the monitoring
mode selected. OL on the meter corresponds to +22 dBu
at the analog input, and 0 dBFS at the digital input.
Record Ready Buttons:
Used to arm tracks for
recording, or to select tracks for editing. The red LED at
the bottom of the meter blinks while in Record Standby,
and lights steadily while actually recording.
POWER Switch:
Turns the SDR24/96 on and off.
Drive Bay:
For removable drives like the Mackie
Media M·90 and the Project ORBTM cartridge.
DELETE LAST:
Deletes the last record pass (must
be the last action in the History List). You cannot undo
Delete Last.
TRACK:
Accesses track options including Mute,
Virtual Tracks, and Track Name.
PROJECT:
Accesses project options including New,
Open, Save, Save As, Delete, Copy, Rename, and Purge.
EDIT:
Accesses common editing functions such as
Delete, Cut, Copy, Paste, Place, Undo, and Redo.

About
AUTO TAKE:
Used for multiple record passes. When
Auto Increment mode is selected, virtual track numbers
are automatically incremented after each record pass.
In Auto Edit mode, multiple recordings take place on
the same virtual track, but previously recorded audio for
the take is shifted down to the next virtual track.
T-CODE CHASE:
Allows the SDR24/96 to sync to
external time code.
LOCATE:
Jump to Locate 1, 2, 3, or 4.
STORE:
Store Locate points 1-4.
LOOP:
Enables looped playback or recording.
PUNCH:
Enables Auto Punch mode.
REHEARSE:
Use to practice punching-in and
punching-out. Punch-in and punch-out points are
automatically saved to Locates 3 and 4, respectively.
ALL INPUT:
Both armed and unarmed tracks
monitor their inputs in Play and Record. Use for
rehearsing and level-setting.
AUTO INPUT:
Both armed and unarmed tracks
monitor their previously recorded audio in Play, and
armed tracks monitor their inputs in Record (unarmed
tracks still monitor their previously recorded audio).
Use for recording.
Status Display:
Error, Sample Rate, Word Length,
VariSpeed, and Time Code Sync indicators.
Current Time Display:
Shows the current locator
time in Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames.
EXT CLOCK:
Indicates when the SDR24/96 syncs to
an external clock.
LCD Display:
Backlit 2x24-segment display provides
selection options for the four SELECT buttons.
Page Left and Page Right Buttons:
