Recording Mode
The VS-2400CD provides eight “recording modes” from which to choose. A project’s
recording mode configures the VS-2400CD’s hard disk recorder at the desired balance
between a project’s audio quality, how many tracks the project contains, and the
amount of disk space its audio consumes.
Description of Each Recording Mode
Number of Available Playback Tracks in Each Recording Mode
The number of playback tracks in each mode depends on the selected sample rate:
* Use the 44.1k sample rate when creating a CDR mode project since only 44.1k
audio can be burned onto a CD. Tracks in CDR mode are linked as odd/even pairs.
Number of Available Simultaneous Recording Tracks in Each Recording Mode
• All modes can record up to 16 tracks at once if the sampling rate is 48k or lower.
• All modes can record up to 8 tracks at once if the sampling rate is 64k or higher.
Unless you have a reason to do otherwise, use the 24-track, 24-bit MTP recording mode.
The VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual assumes that your projects use this mode, except as
noted.
Recording mode: Description:
M24 (Mastering 24-bit) Audio is recorded as linear 24-bit data.
MTP (Multi Track Pro) This is the VS-2400CD’s default 24-bit recording mode.
CDR (CD-R Writing) Audio is recorded as 16-bit linear data in a CD disk-image file
format ready for burning to an audio CD (Page 332)—great
for compiling mastering tracks for an album’s worth of songs.
M16 (Mastering 16-bit) Audio is recorded as 16-bit linear data similar to that
produced by a CD player or DAT recorder.
MT1 (Multi Track 1) This recording mode offers twice the recording time of M16
while preserving its sound quality.
MT2 (Multi Track 2) This mode offers even more recording time than MT1.
LIV Use the LIV mode when you’re doing live recording and can’t
be sure how long you’ll need to keep recording. It’s also
handy if you’re running out of space on your hard drive.
LV2 Use LV2 for recording speech, for reference recordings, or if
you’re concerned about running out of disk space.
Recording mode: Tracks up to 48k: Tracks at 64k and higher:
M24 Tracks 1-16 Tracks 1-8
MTP Tracks 1-24 Tracks 1-12
CDR Tracks 1-16* *
M16 Tracks 1-16 Tracks 1-8
MT1 Tracks 1-24 Tracks 1-12
MT2 Tracks 1-24 Tracks 1-12
LIV Tracks 1-24 Tracks 1-12
