Recording
Saying the MDR24/96 is just a 24-track recorder is like saying a Ferrari 550
is just a car. It’s true, but it misses the point entirely. The MDR24/96 has
many features that place it above an ordinary 24-track recorder.
Virtual Tracks
One difference between the MDR24/96 and some other recorders is the virtual
tracks. Each of the 24 tracks on the MDR24/96 is actually one of eight virtual
tracks. These virtual tracks give you places to hold onto old takes, just in
case they turn out to be gems. Virtual tracks can also be used as a scratch
pad to try out different edits. First let’s learn how to access the virtual tracks
and later we will present you with a few examples on how you can use them
most effectively.
To access the virtual tracks selection menu:
1. First press the
TRACK/EDIT
button.
2. Press the Right Arrow button to
move to the second page of the
TRACK EDIT MENU.
3. Then choose the Set Virtual
select button.
You will be presented with a screen
containing two rows of numbers. The
top row displays the track numbers
from 1-24 without the tens digit. The first 1-9 represents tracks 1-9, the next
0-9 represents tracks 10-19, and the final 0-4 represents tracks 20-24. The
next row of numbers is the current virtual track number for the track listed
above it. Here is an example of what you might see in the Virtual Track menu:
This display shows that tracks 1-4 are playing back virtual track 1, tracks 5-9
are playing virtual track 2, tracks 10-21 are playing virtual track 8, and
tracks 22-24 are playing virtual track 4. By default the entire second row
should display all ones. This means that to begin with all the tracks are
playing back their first virtual track.
