Q: About the Recording Mode
A:
M24 (Mastering 24bit)
Audio from the analog inputs that passes through the
VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD’s 24-bit A/D converter,
and audio data from the 24-bit digital inputs will be
recorded and played as linear data.
When this mode is selected, the
VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD will function as a 16-track
recorder (tracks 1–16). When sampling frequency is
more than 64kHz, the VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD
will function as a 8-track recorder.
MTP (Multi Track Pro)
Audio from the analog inputs that passes through the
VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD’s 24-bit A/D converter,
and audio data from the 24-bit digital inputs will be
recorded and played using proprietary Roland coding
technology (R-DAC).
Normally you should select this mode.
CDR (CD-R Writing):
This mode allows you to directly create a CD image
file on your hard disk – this file can later be burned
onto a CD-R. Recording and playback will occur using
16-bit linear data similar to that of a CD player or DAT
recorder. In CDR mode, Tracks 1–8 are linked in
odd/even fader pairs, with their levels controlled by
the odd-numbered fader. Track 17–24 cannot be used.
M16 (Mastering 16bit):
Recording and playback will occur using 16-bit linear
data similar to that of a CD player or DAT recorder.
When this mode is selected, the
VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD will function as a 16-track
recorder (tracks 1–16). When sampling frequency is
more than 64kHz, the VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD
will function as a 8-track recorder.
MT1 (Multi Track 1):
This recording mode provides approximately twice
the recording time of M16 mode.
MT2 (Multi Track 2):
This recording mode provides even longer record
times than MT1.
LIV (Live 1):
This mode is appropriate when your hard disk lacks
free space or when recording live performances where
the total recording time is unknown.
LV2 (Live 2):
This mode provides the longest recording time. This
mode is appropriate for live recordings of speeches,
and recordings made for reference purposes. Use this
mode if you have very little drive space left or you
aren’t sure how long the recording will be.
Q: Is it possible to mix down even when all the 24
tracks are occupied?
A: Yes. In the Mastering Room, you can mix down to the
empty V-tracks on tracks 23/24 while playing back 24
tracks.
