Getting Started
Project
• Start a new project (PROJECT:New). Either accept
the default name (Project#1) by selecting New, or press
Page Right
to enter a new name. When finished,
press Page Left
and select New.
I/O
•
Choose either the analog inputs or digital inputs using
the INPUT TYPE SELECT menu (SETUP:I/O:Page
Right Twice
:INPUT TYPE SELECT
), or customize
a combination of both.
See “Hookups” on page 12 of the Operation Manual for
examples of both analog and digital connections.
• By default, track numbers are assigned to their
corresponding inputs and outputs. You can customize
the mapping of the inputs (SETUP:I/O:TRACK INPUT
SELECT
) and outputs (SETUP:I/O:Page Right
:
TRACK OUTPUT SELECT
) to different tracks.
Sync:
• Choose the sample clock source (SETUP:Sync:SClk).
If the SDR24/96 is providing the master clock, select
Internal. If the SDR is a slave and syncing to an
external clock through the Word Clock input, select
Word Clock. Select ADAT A, B, or C if syncing to a self-
clocking ADAT™ optical input.
• Choose the sample rate (SETUP:Sync:SRate). When
recording with the analog inputs, choose any sample
rate appropriate for your project. You must use the same
sample rate throughout a project.
When recording with
the digital inputs, the sample rate must be the same as
the digital source.
• Choose your preferred sample size (SETUP:Sync:Page
Right
:SSize
), either 16-bit or 24-bit.
• Choose the time code source (SETUP:Sync:TcSrc) if
the SDR is chasing to time code (T-CODE CHASE). Use
Jam Continuous when all devices are synced to the
same master clock. Use Chase when the you are using
the SDR24/96’s internal sample clock (no external clock
connected) and you want to sync to external time code.

at the inputs or outputs, depending on the monitoring
mode selected. OL on the meter corresponds to +22 dBu

recording, or to select tracks for editing. The red LED at
the bottom of the meter blinks while in Record Standby,
