D24—Version 2.0 Supplement

Seamless Punch Out Monitoring

At the punch-out point, the monitor circuits now switch from input to playback seam­lessly. (Previously, monitoring was muted for an instant as the punch-out occurred.)
The number of tracks with which seamless punch out monitoring can be used simul­taneously is limited by the following factors: recording media (MO or hard disk), sam­pling rate (48 kHz or 44.1 kHz), and recording resolution (16-, 20-, or 24-bit), as shown in the following table.

Media Sampling Rate
48 kHz
MO
44.1 kHz

24-bit 8 20-bit 9 16-bit 11 24-bit 9 20-bit 10 16-bit 12 24-bit 12 20-bit 15 16-bit 16 24-bit 15 20-bit 16 16-bit 16
Max. No. of Tracks for
Seamless Punch Out
The maximum number of tracks for seamless punch out consists of the number of tracks previously recorded (i.e., the number of tracks playing back) and the number of tracks selected for punch in/out recording. For example, the maximum number of tracks for seamless punch out using an MO disk at 48 kHz/24-bit is eight, so if four tracks have already been recorded, up to four tracks can be selected for seamless punch out.
If the maximum number of tracks for seamless punch out is exceeded (i.e., a greater number tracks are selected for recording), punch out monitoring will not be seamless. Audio recorded to disk is always seamless.

Crossfade Modes

Two new Crossfade modes, with variable fade times, are now available for use with punch in/out recording and part editing. Previously, a variable fade in/out time could be set to smooth the transition between new and existing material at the punch in/out points, and the part editing edit points. This option has been kept because it has the advantage that it affects only playback and the fade time can be changed at anytime, since the fades are not recorded to disk. With the new Crossfade modes, however, the fades are recorded to disk, so once recorded, they cannot be changed.
The following procedure explains how to select a Fade mode and fade time.
Press the [UTILITY] button.
1
The UTILITY indicator lights up.
2
Use the JOG/DATA dial to select “FADE MODE,” and then press the [ENTER] button.
The current mode setting appears on the display.
Use the JOG/DATA dial to select a Fade mode:
3
FADE IN/OUT
CROSS FADE1
—Same as previous version.
—Signal levels are at –3 dB at the crossover point (suitable
for music).
CROSS FADE2
—Signal levels are at –6 dB at crossover point (suitable for
sounds consisting essentially of a single, simple tone (e.g., flute, recorder).
4
Press the [ENTER] button to activate your selection, or the [CANCEL] button to cancel the Fade Mode function.
5
To set the fade time, with the UTILITY indicator still lit, use the JOG/DATA dial to select “FADE I/O,” and then press the [ENTER] button.
The currently set fade time appears on the display.
Use the JOG/DATA dial to select a fade time: 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 ms.
6
The default setting is 2 ms.
7
Press the [ENTER] button to activate your selection, or the [CANCEL] button to cancel the Fade I/O function.
8
Press the [UTILITY] button again to leave utility.
The UTILITY indicator goes out. Note that if a project that was recorded in the Fade I/O mode is played back in one of
the new Crossfade modes, it will play without the fade in/outs at the punch in/out points, or part edit points. Therefore, such projects are best played back with the Fade I/O mode selected.
D24—Version 2.0 Supplement

Clearing the A, B, IN & OUT Points

Previously set A, B, LAST REC IN and OUT points can now be cleared.
While holding down the [CANCEL] button, press the [A], [B], [IN], or [OUT]
1
button.
The previously set point is cleared and the corresponding indicator goes out. So long as the loaded disk is not write-protected, the A, B, LAST REC IN and OUT point infor­mation stored on disk is also cleared.
This new function also works on the remote controller.

Using the A, B, IN & OUT Points as Edit Times

The A, B, LAST REC IN and OUT points can now easily be used as the start (ST) and end (ED) times when using a part edit function, the Time Compression function, or the Pitch Change function.
5
When the display shows “ST xxxxxxxx” or “ED xxxxxxxx” or “TO xxxxxxxx”
1
and you are required to enter a start, end, or to time, press the [A], [B], [IN], or [OUT] button.
The time value previously stored for that point is entered and appears on the display. If no point has been set, no time value is entered.

Using the Solo Buttons to Select Tracks

The SOLO/SELECT buttons can now be used to select the source and destination tracks for the track and part editing functions and the Time Compression and Pitch Change functions. (Previously, only the JOG/DATA dial could be used to select tracks.)
1
When the display shows “FROM TR” or “TO TR,” use the SOLO/SELECT but­tons to select the source or destination tracks.
As with the JOG/DATA dial, depending on the function being used, tracks can be selected individually (1–8) or in pairs (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8).
Note that the JOG/DATA dial must be used to select destination virtual tracks.

Remaining Time

The time remaining can now be checked while recording is in progress. (Previously, it could be checked only when the D24 had stopped.)

Apogee I/O Cards

The D24 now supports the Apogee AP8AD and AP8DA mini YGDAI I/O cards. (Only the AP8AD is currently available.)

Assigning Virtual Tracks Using SOLO & Keypad

When assigning virtual tracks to main tracks, the SOLO/SELECT buttons can now be used to select the main track. (Previously, only the SHUTTLE/CURSOR could be used for this.) In addition, the number keypad can now be used to select virtual tracks. (Pre­viously, only the JOG/DATA dial could be used for this.)
1
While the D24 is stopped, press the [V. TRACK SELECT] button.
The V. TRACK SELECT indicator lights up. The 1st line of the display shows the main track numbers from 1 through 8. The 2nd
line shows the virtual tracks assigned to those main tracks. Initially, each main track is assigned its respective virtual track 1.
Use the SOLO/SELECT buttons or SHUTTLE/CURSOR ring to select a main
2
track.
The number of the virtual track assigned to the selected main track flashes on the 2nd line of the display and the corresponding SOLO/SELECT indicator lights up.
Use the number keypad or JOG/DATA dial to assign a virtual track to the
3
selected main track.
Press the [ENTER] button to apply your virtual track settings.
4
“FINISHED” appears on the display for a few seconds and then The V. TRACK SELECT indicator goes out.

Functions Echoed Across Multiple D24s

In a multiple-unit system, the following settings made on the master D24 are echoed by the slave D24s. (Previously, these settings were not echoed by the slaves.)
Setting the A, B, LAST REC IN and OUT points.
Canceling the A, B, LAST REC IN and OUT points.
LAST REC IN and OUT points for auto punch in/out recording.
Setting the LEVEL METER mode—NORMAL or FINE. Settings other than LEVEL METER mode also work on the remote controller.

Fixing Take 00

When using the Fix Take function to select the take you want to keep after auto punch in/out recording, the original material (i.e., TAKE 00) can now be selected. (Previously, TAKE 00 could not be selected, so to revert to the original material you had to fix another take, exit the Auto Punch function, and then use Undo.) As before, the original material (i.e., TAKE 00) can be auditioned by using the Audition Take function.
Fix Take cannot be performed from the remote controller or in a multiple-unit system.
Remote ID Conflict Error Message
In a multiple-unit system, if two or more D24s are assigned the same Remote ID, the error message “RMT ID ERROR” appears when the [CHASE] button is pressed, and Chase mode cannot be engaged.

Ecoute Punch Out sans faille

Au point Punch Out, le circuit d’écoute passe maintenant de manière inaudible du signal d’entrée au signal de reproduction. (Sur la version précédente, l’écoute était étouffée pendant un bref instant lors du Punch Out.)
Le nombre de pistes sur lesquelles vous pouvez effectuer simultanément un Punch Out inaudible dépend des facteurs suivants: support d’enregistrement (disque MO ou dis­que dur), fréquence d’échantillonnage (48 kHz ou 44,1 kHz) et résolution d’enregistre­ment (16, 20 ou 24 bits), comme le montre le tableau suivant:
Support
Disque MO
Disque dur
Fréquence
d’échantillonnage
48 kHz
44,1 kHz
48 kHz
44,1 kHz
Résolution
d’enregistrement
24 bits 8 20 bits 9 16 bits 11 24 bits 9 20 bits 10 16 bits 12 24 bits 12 20 bits 15 16 bits 16 24 bits 15 20 bits 16 16 bits 16
Nbre max. de pistes pour
un Punch Out inaudible
Le nombre maximum des pistes disponibles pour le Punch Out inaudible correspond au nombre de pistes de l’enregistrement précédent (c.-à-d. le nombre de pistes repro­duites) et au nombre de pistes sélectionnées pour l’enregistrement Punch In/Out. Par exemple, le nombre maximum de pistes pour un Punch Out inaudible avec un disque MO et à 48 kHz/24 bits est de huit, de sorte que si vous avez déjà enregistré quatre pis­tes, vous pouvez choisir quatre pistes pour effectuer un Punch Out inaudible.
Si vous dépassez le nombre maximum de pistes pour le Punch Out inaudible (c.-à-d. si vous avez choisi plus de pistes pour l’enregistrement), le Punch Out sera audible à l’écoute. L’enregistrement des données audio sur disque se fait toujours de manière impeccable.
