4. Use the << and >> SELECT buttons to select a track number from the top line; the selected track number will appear as an “_” instead of its number. Now press the (–) DEC / (+) INC buttons to change the virtual track on the selected channels. This screen allows you to manually set any track to any of its eight virtual tracks.

DEC INC

Operation

It is often convenient to display the virtual track window while tracking so you are always aware of which virtual track you are recording onto for any given track.

Track Mutes

The MDR24/96 allows you to mute the playback of any track. This can be useful to mute certain tracks while editing without having to reach for your mixer board. Also, if you have an automated mix set up on your digital mixer, you can mute tracks from the MDR24/96 without disrupting the mixing console. Finally, when editing instruments spanning multiple tracks such as a drum kit, it may benefit you to listen to just a particular part of the drum set to fine tune your edit points. With track mutes, you can easily mute everything but the desired tracks and edit to your hearts content.

Guide

To mute a track:

MuteVirtual

The dialog window will tell you to press the track arm buttons to toggle the mute status on a track. If the Record Ready LED is lit while the mute screen is displayed, the track will be muted, and if the Record Ready is not lit, the track will play normally.

4.Use the Record Arm buttons to mute and unmute tracks. Press the OK select button to leave the Track Mute menu.

The Record Ready LEDs change to their previous state, but any muted tracks will remain muted until you return to the mute screen to change their status. The meters continue to show playback on muted tracks, but the outputs will not pass audio.

Record Safe

Record Safe locks out all Record Ready and Master Record switches. Any tracks that are armed become disarmed when Record Safe is activated. If the transport is running in Master Record mode (whether actually recording or not), the record operation is canceled.

You’ll find the REC SAFE button above the floppy disk drive.
