Fostex LR16 manual Preparation, Adjusting input level =recording level of each mixer channel

Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback]

The following shows the procedure for rehears- ing recording to tracks 1 through 16 as well as to the stereo mix track simultaneously in new project mode during live performance.

In the following description, it is assumed that no project is created to the internal hard disk ("No project" is shown on the display).

<Memo>: To perform recording to an existing project, use the insert mode (see page 65 for details about how to create a new project).

Preparation

(1)Select Fs/bit of the project and MTC frame rate.

By default, Fs/bit is set to "44.1kHz/16 bit" while MTC frame rate is set to "25fps". You can change them before recording.

<Memo>: See pages 82 and 83 for de- tails about how to change settings of Fs/ bit and MTC frame rate.

(2)Change the destination channels of Sub In from “15/16” (default) to “-/-” (no channels are assigned).

You can now record to all of tracks 1 through 16.

<Memo>: See page 79 for details about how to assign the destination channels of Sub In.

Adjusting input level (=recording level) of each mixer channel

(1)Set the [SOURCE] switch on each of mixer

channels 1 through 16 to "INPUT" ().

The input source from the corresponding [INPUT] connector is selected as the channel source of each channel.

(2)Set all the [REC TRACK SELECT] keys (1 through 16) and the [ST MIX] key in the recorder section to ON.

All the keys start flashing. On the display, track numbers "1" through "16" and "LR" start flashing, while the recordable remaining time is shown.

"16") and "LR" flash.	remaining time

<Memo>: To record only tracks 1 through 16, set only the [REC TRACK SELECT] keys 1 through 16 to ON. To record only the stereo mix track, set only the [ST MIX] key to ON.

(3)Press the [RECORD] key.

The key lights up and the level meters 1 through 16 on the display now show the recorder input levels (= mixer channel levels).

Flashing

(4)Use the [TRIM] control each of mixer channels 1 through 16 to adjust the input level.

Adjust the [TRIM] control appropriately so that the [PEAK] indicator is lit at the loudest part of playing.

Recorder input levels are shown.

<Note>: The recording level of each track is equal to the mixer channel level ad- justed by the [TRIM] control. Therefore, levels shown on the display can be re- garded as recording levels as well as mixer channel levels.

<Memo>: If you want to adjust the input level of each mixer channel while moni- toring, set the [SOLO] switch on the de- sired channel(s) to "ON" ().

When any [SOLO] switch is "ON", the [SOLO] indicator in the MONITOR SELECT section flashes slowly.
