Your First Session With The ADAT XT: Chapter 2

TRACK COPY

It is possible to copy the audio material from one track to another on the same tape within the XT without leaving the digital domain and without the need for any audio cables. In fact, you can copy up to 4 tracks at a time using the Track Copy feature. For more information on using the Track Copy function, see page 38.

To bounce audio from one track to another:

¿Press and hold [TRACK COPY].

The TRK COPY icon will light in the display.

¡While holding [TRACK COPY], select a source track (up to 4) by pressing any of the RECORD ENABLE buttons [1]–{8].

The INPUT LEDs for the selected track(s) will light. Note: You can’t select a track that is already in record-ready (REC LED lit) as a source track; if its RECORD ENABLE is pressed, its INPUT LED won’t light while holding the [TRACK COPY] button.

¬Release [TRACK COPY], and choose a destination track (up to 4) by pressing one of the RECORD ENABLE buttons [1]–[8].

The REC LEDs for the selected track(s) will light. Note: You cannot select a source track as a destination track; if its RECORD ENABLE is pressed, its REC LED won’t light.

÷Use the [REWIND], [FAST FWD] or [LOCATE 0] through [LOCATE 9] buttons to move to the section of tape which holds the audio you wish to copy.

ƒSimultaneously press [RECORD] and [PLAY] to initiate recording. The [RECORD] and [PLAY] LEDs will light and recording will begin.

ªWhen you are finished, press [STOP].

The [STOP] LED will light and the transport will stop.

J	While the TRK COPY icon is lit (indicating that Track Copy mode is selected) you will
	not be able to record any audio being fed to the analog or digital inputs. To record
	from the analog inputs, you must press the [ANALOG INPUT] button (the ANALOG
	icon will light in the display).

DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS

If necessary, the brightness of the XT’s display may be adjusted to allow more suitable viewing under various lighting conditions.

To adjust the display brightness:

¿Hold the [PEAK CLEAR] button.

¡While still holding [PEAK CLEAR], press either PITCH [s] or [t] to dim or brighten. The display will immediately respond by either dimming or brightening, depending on which button was pressed.
