Overview By combining traditional multitrack tape recording features with the power and flexibility of non-linear editing, the Mackie Designs SDR24/96 takes multitrack recording to a level never before achieved by a product in its price range. In addition to the standard battery of traditional tape-based features, the SDR24/96: • Combines the familiarity of a multitrack tape machine with the security of non-destructive recording and non-degrading recording media. • Records simultaneously on

Operation Guide Setup & Configuration This chapter explains how to set up and configure the SDR24/96 for use in your studio. Two application examples show how to interface the SDR24/96 with analog and digital recording consoles. Required Equipment Of course, there’s more to a studio than a recorder and some musicians. At a minimum, you’ll need the following to make the SDR24/96 feel at home: • A console with a minimum of 24 tape sends (buses or direct outputs) and returns (line inputs or monit

I/O Connections and Cables I/O connections are available in either analog or digital and can be used in any combination: Analog • Each 25-pin D-subminiature (DB25) connector provides eight balanced analog line-level inputs or outputs. These connectors are pin-for-pin compatible with the analog (not TDIF) DB25 connectors found on the TASCAM DTRS recorders (see Appendix D: Analog I/O Pinout). DB25 cables that break out to XLR or 1/4" TRS connectors for mating with your console are readily availa

Operation Guide • MIDI IN/OUT — These standard MIDI connectors (female 5-pin DIN) can be used to send or receive MIDI Time Code (MTC) and MIDI Machine Control (MMC) when connecting to equipment with transport controls and a position display. • ADAT SYNC OUT — This 9-pin D-subminature connector connects to the SYNC IN connector on an ADAT multitrack recorder when the SDR24/96 is providing the master sample clock. Use male-to-male 9-pin D-sub (DB9) cable. • ADAT SYNC IN — This 9-pin D-submin

The following is the recommended setup for establishing proper sample clock synchronization with the devices connected to the SDR24/96. ADAT Optical With the SDR24/96 as a master, set the receiving device(s) to derive sample clock from their ADAT optical ports if the ports are self-clocking. In this case, no word clock connection is necessary. If the ADAT optical ports on the receiving devices are not self-clocking, connect WORD CLOCK OUT of the SDR24/96 to Word Clock In on the receiving device(

Operation Guide Mackie Media (Optional) The SDR24/96 emulates the tape library tradition with Mackie Media M•90 and Mackie Media PROJECT drives. Both drives come complete with a plug-in tray for quick removal and a nifty storage case for shelving and transporting the drives. The SDR24/96 can record or play directly off the M•90 so you can change sessions as quickly as changing tape on a 24-track—no backup time required. PROJECT drives are for backup only and use removable 2.2GB ORB cartridges th

Hookups This section shows how the SDR24/96 is typically connected to both analog and digital consoles (using the Mackie Analog and Digital 8•Bus consoles as examples). These examples assume that the rest of your studio equipment (monitors, sound sources, outboard processing, etc.) is already connected, or that you know how to connect it. Before you begin, note how the three analog eight-channel I/O connectors are arranged on the SDR24/96 rear panel: 1-8 is on the left, 9-16 is in the center, an

Operation Guide Configuration Before starting a Project, you will need to configure the SDR24/96 I/O options and synchronization parameters. These parameters determine where the input signal is coming from, where the sample clock is coming from, how fast the sample clock runs, and how many bits are recorded in every sample. Some options, like sample rate and bit depth, will become “standards” that you won’t need to change very often. Others, like input-to-track assignments, you may need to chang
