About Projects

D24 recordings are organized as projects, with a typical project consisting of many

sound files and a settings file. Up to 99 projects can be recorded on a single MO or exter-

nal disk drive. The following settings are stored with each project: recording resolution

(BIT), sampling rate (FS), timecode frame rate, absolute start time, project title, virtual

track assignments, relative zero position, up to 99 locate points, and the LAST REC IN,

OUT, A, and B locate points, as shown in the following illustration. The wordclock

source (WC) and timecode source (TC) settings are not stored with each project.

The following illustration shows four example projects and their associated settings.

The recording resolution and sampling rate are set when a new project is created, and

once something has been recorded in a project, cannot be changed. Although a project

can be played with a timecode frame rate different to that used when it was originally

recorded, stored locate memories will be out of sync with the recorded material, so in

addition to the recording resolution and sampling rate, it’s best to set the timecode

frame rate as required before recording each new project.

When an already recorded project is selected, the D24 automatically sets the recording

resolution and timecode frame rate, using the settings stored with that particular

project. If the project’s sampling rate is different to the current setting, the project’s

sampling rate flashes in the FS window and you must use the Wordclock function

(“Selecting a Wordclock Source” on page 124) to set the sampling rate of the D24 to

match that of the project, otherwise, playback will be distorted.
