Package contents

Make sure that the package contains all the items listed below. The illustrations may not precisely

match the appearance of the actual items. If you find that items are missing, contact your local

dealer.

Main unit

Caddy

Install a hard disk into this case. Refer

to page “6” for more information.

Detachable controller

Hard disk fixing screws

Use these screws to fix the hard disk to

the caddy. Refer to page “7” for more

information.

Recording media

The D2424LV is not equipped with any recording medium for recording/playback such as a hard

disk drive (in this manual, we call the installed medium "current drive"). Therefore, to execute the

multitrack recording using the D2424LV, you have to separately prepare a current drive.

For a current drive, you can use any universal "E-IDE" hard disk drive* which has been tested and

approved by FOSTEX. A hard disk drive can be installed in the removable case attached.

The updated information on the operation-confirmed HD and backup media for D2424LV is men-

tioned in the following Fostex international web site.

Model D2424LV Quick Operation Guide

Preparation for the current drive

The D2424LV has a slot for an optional hard disk. First you need to install a hard disk into the

caddy included in this recorder package before you install it into the slot.

The following instructions assume that you have already purchased an E-IDE hard disk unit.

Prepare the following items for hard disk installation:

Hard disk unit

Fixing screws

Caddy

<Note>

Be sure to turn off the power to the D2424LV (or remove the power cable from the AC outlet) before

installing a hard disk.

Installing a hard disk in the caddy

First, you need to disassemble the caddy included in the package so that you can install a hard disk into

it.

• Disassembling the caddy

1.Apply your thumb to the edge of the case on the connector side as shown in the figure, and slightly pull the cover in the

direction of the arrow.

2.Apply your thumbs to the side of the case and open the cover. In the same manner, open the cover on the other side.

(Caution: Be careful not to pinch your fingers.)

• A hard disk is a high-precision device. Do not apply any impact to the disk when and after you install it in

the caddy. Do not leave the disk near a device that generates a strong magnetic field. Choose a level and

stable surface for installation. Be careful not to injure yourself.

Fostex is not liable for any malfunction or damage to the hard disk caused by mishandling.

• You need to set the DIP (Jumper) switch on the hard disk to “Master” before you install it into the caddy.

If the switch is set to “Slave,” the hard disk will not function correctly.

Refer to the instruction manual that came with your hard disk for more information on the DIP (Jumper)

switch setting.

Model D2424LV Quick Operation Guide

• Connecting cables

1.Connect the cables in the caddy to the connectors on the rear of the hard disk.

As shown in the figure, first connect the power supply cable. Make sure that you connect the cables securely

in the correct direction.

Some connectors on the hard disks may be too tight to connect cables easily. Do not apply excessive

force to such connectors to avoid injury or damage to the hard disk.

• Fixing the hard disk to the case

1.Align the screw holes.

As shown in the figure, align the screw holes on the side of the disk with the holes on the case.

2.Insert four included fixing screws (two screws on each side) and tighten them.

Tighten four screws (two on each side).

Align the screw holes on the other side of the hard disk with the holes

on the case.

Do not tighten the screws too much. Otherwise, you may damage the case.

• Assembling the case

<Note>

When you assemble the case, follow the note below:

If a projecting part on the hard disk touches the cover, apply the insulation seal (included in the

package) to the surface of the case where the part would touch. If you use the disk with its part

touching the cover, a short-circuit may occur, leading to a malfunction.

1.Assemble the case by installing the covers.

After you assemble the case, store the case in a place not subject to magnetic fields. If you remove the case

from the recorder and store or move the unit, cover the connectors on the caddy with the dust cover (included

in the package) to protect the hard disk from building up static electricity and dust.

Do not touch the connectors with your fingers to avoid static electricity.

Formatting a hard disk drive

After installing a hard disk drive into the recorder, you must format the disk; otherwise you cannot

record or playback any data. Note that the following explanation assumes that the disk is

unformatted. If you want to know how to reformat a formatted disk, see the Reference manual.

Be sure to connect the recorder to the power supply specified in the specification section of the Refer-

ence manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.

1.Turn the power on.

Connecting a digital mixer

When making connections with a digital recording mixer, refer to the connecting example below.

• When connecting the recorder to a digital mixing console, make sure that the power of both units are

off.

• The [DATA INPUT] and [DATA OUTPUT] connectors do not support adat digital signals of 96-kHz Fs.

In other words, the unit cannot receive of feed an adat digital signal of 96-kHz Fs.

Digital mixer

[DATA IN/OUTPUT] 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24 can all be used

for record/playback of adat digital signals.

Signals to [DATA INPUT] 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24 will, re-

spectively, be assigned to tracks 1-8, 9-16 and 17-

24, and recorded.

At playback, the track outputs are respectively

assigned from each [DATA OUTPUT] connectors in

the same manner.

At record/playback of S/P DIF digital signals, in-

put connectors [DATA INPUT] 1-8 only can be used

and the output ports will be [DATA OUTPUT] 1-8, 9-

16 and 17-24.

Signals input to [DATA INPUT] 1-8 will be assigned

and recorded in tracks 1 and 2.

At playback, signals output from track 1-2, 3-4

and 5-6 will be, respectively, assigned and out-

put from [DATA OUTPUT] 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24.

<Note>: Except for 96-kHz Fs adat digital signals.

<Hints>

• When connecting the recorder to a digital mixing console as shown in the example above, unlike connecting to an

analog console, both digital devices must be synchronized with each other.

To achieve this, use "word clock," the signal for synchronization.

Word clock is used to synchronize all digital words in a system. Normally one digital devices in the system acts as

a master of word clock, and the other devices act as slaves. All the slave devices receive the word clock fed from the

master device and synchronize to it. In the example above, the recorder acts as a word clock master and the digital

mixing console acts as a slave and synchronizes with the recorder. The word clock is fed from the [WORD OUT PUT]

terminal of the recorder to the [WORD INPUT] terminal of the digital mixing console.

• Note that the master word clock setting of the digital mixing console must match the recorder's sampling frequency.

See the instruction manual of the digital mixing console for details.

To execute the digital multitrack recording using a digital mixing console, see "Basic digital recording" on page “16”

for details about the digital multitrack recording using a digital mixing console.

Initial settings

You need to reset all the controls on this recorder to their initial settings according to the controls and switches on

the mixer before you proceed to the next step. This procedure is called “Initialize” in this Guide and in the Reference

Manual. The buttons and switches on this recorder should be reset as shown below. Remember to “initialize this

recorder” before you start a new session.

About Sampling Frequency

The sampling frequency is important when recording a digital source, as described later in "Basic digital

recording", but is not as important when recording analog source.

As described earlier in "Formatting a hard disk drive", the sampling frequency and quantization of the current

drive (<44.1 kHz 16bit or 24bit>, <48 kHz 16bit or 24bit>, <88.2 kHz 24 bit> or <96 kHz 24bit>) are fixed

when formatting. Therefore, the sampling frequency of a digital device connected to the recorder must match

the recorder's sampling frequency.

In this recorder, the program to be complied in the current drive after formatting can be changed to any

sampling frequency. When several programs recorded using different sampling frequencies are in the cur-

rent drive, sampling frequencies must be confirmed at each change of the program.

As you raise the group output level on the mixer, the level

meter segments of the ready tracks light up. Adjust the

level so that the “0” to “3” level segments of the level meter

light up at the highest peak.

If the “OL” segments of the meter light up, the recording

level is too high. If the recording level is too high on a

digital recorder, the recording signal may distort, unlike

an analog recorder. Especially, if you are recording vocal

or acoustic instruments, the recording level may suddenly

peak.

Repeat the procedure described above to record more tracks

(mono track or multiple tracks). You can record eight different

sound sources on this recorder simultaneously.

If you make a mistake or you are not satisfied with the

recording, you can “undo” recording. Refer to the “Undo

and redo recording” section below.

In this case, you may want to lower the signal peak by

applying a compressor/limiter using an insertion connector.

Undo and redo recording (single undo/redo)

Everybody makes mistakes. If you make a mistake in recording, you can restore and re-do the data that

existed before the mistake occurred. These functions are called “Undo” and “Redo,” and are executed by

the [UNDO/REDO] key on the control panel.

The Undo function enables you to cancel the latest recording or edit and restore the previous state.

Using the Redo function after using the Undo function enables you to cancel the Uno operation and

restore the latest recording or edit. These functions have some limitations as described in the <Note>

below.

As described earlier in "Formatting a new disk", if you format the disk with the multiple undo func-

tion ON, "multiple undo" is possible. See "Multiple undo function" in the Reference manual.

<Note>

You can repeatedly use the Undo/Redo functions until you

perform one of the following operations:

Multitrack recording using overdubbing

Multitrack recording is a term for the series of processes in which you record various sound sources to

different tracks and combine them into two mixes (L and R). This recording involves an important

process called “overdubbing,” in which you record additional sound sources to different tracks while

monitoring the input sound and listening to the recorded sound. The following procedure assumes that

you have already recorded a rhythm section using a drum machine on Track 1.

Initialize the recorder.

1. Press the [RECORDTRACK] select key of the desired

press the [PLAY] button. (Take)

Play the sound source accompanying the Track 1 sound in

the same way as during the rehearsal.

2. Press the [RECORD] button once.

The ready tracks enter input monitoring status, and the

other tracks enter playback monitoring status.

6.When you finish overdubbing, stop this unit, locate

the top of the Program, and play the overdubbed

sound as explained in the“Basic Recording And

Playback.”

3. Press the [PLAY] button to play the Program from

the beginning. (Rehearsal)

Adjust the level of the playback monitoring sound (rhythm

sound on Track 1) on the mixer. Play the sound source to

overdub and adjust the recording level on the mixer.

If you are not satisfied with your overdubbing, perform

the Undo function and record again.

In the same way, overdub the necessary tracks.

4.When you finish rehearsing, locate the top of the

Program for the actual take.

Ping-pong recording

Ping-pong recording is a recording process in which you mix the playback sound of multiple tracks and

record the mix on an empty track. Ping-pong recording enables you to use previously-recorded tracks in

a new recording. In this way, you can overdub more sound sources using a limited number of tracks.

The following procedure explains how to ping-pong record the sound sources recorded on Tracks 1-6 to

Tracks 7 and 8. Once you ping-pong record the tracks, you cannot apply effects to the individual tracks.

If necessary, apply effects on the mixer prior to ping-pong recording.

Initialize the recorder.

1. Set all tracks to the SAFE status.

6. Start recording on the master recorder. (Take)

2. Locate the top of the Program on this recorder.

3. Set the master recorder to REC-STANDBY mode.

recorder and this recorder.

4. Play the Program from the beginning and adjust

the recording level on the master recorder while

adjusting the tonal quality and mix balance of the

playback sound from the mixer. (Rehearsal)

Adjust the input level on the master recorder so that the

STEREO OUT L/R meters on the mixer respond to the same

degree as the level meters on the master recorder.

The Locate function enables you to locate the desired point (move the current position of the recorder)

immediately. There are two locate methods: storing the desired locate point (time or bar/beat/clock

value) into the memory keys, and locating the point without storing it.

This section explains “Locating the top of the Program” and “Locating the last recording point in the Program”

and do not involve storing locate points. Refer to the Reference Manual for information on storing and

locating locate points.

On this recorder, the top of the Program on the disk is called “ABS 0” and the end of the recorded area is called “REC END.” (If the

Program has no data recorded, ABS 0 corresponds to REC END.) You can use this function to locate the ABS 0 or REC END point

immediately, regardless of the current recorder position.

Recording in a new Program

The explanation so far has been based on one Program set up when you format a current drive (E-IDE

hard disk or SCSI disk). You may create up to 99 Programs, depending on the available disk space.

Multiple Programs do not interfere with each other. You can record, play, and edit each Program

independently, which facilitates song management. This section explains how to set up a new Program

on the disk. Refer to the reference manual for more information regarding Programs.

• When creating a new program, the initial settings such as the tempo map are copied from the current

program. For example, if the default tempo map is edited in the current program, the edited tempo map is

copied to the newly created program.

• A new compilation is possible only when the “Chain Play?” (Setup of the chain play mode) menu in the

SETUP mode is set to “Off.” If the [PGM SEL] key is pressed when the “Chain Play?” menu is set in other than

the “Off” mode, the recorder will enter the “Chain Play mode”. Before starting compilation, check that the

“Chain Play?” is “Off” and if it is not, be sure to reset it to “Off.”

1.While this recorder is stopped, press the [PGM SEL]

key.

The display indicates “Select PGM!” momentarily, then

shows the title of Program 1. The Program number and

“SURE?” flash.

Normally, any new program that is compiled will be

in the sampling frequency set when formatting the

current drive.

However, in this recorder, it is possible to change the

program sampling frequency.

SURE?

In other words, programs with different sampling

frequencies can be made in the current drive and

thus recordingd can be matched to a chosen task.

For details refer to the next page.

Changing the program FS

In the following, we will change a program’s sampling frequency in the current drive.

IN general, tha sampling frequency of the program made in the current drive will be the value set during

the most recent formatting of the current drive. But even after a program has been made, the sampling

frequency can be changed. However, the changes will be limited as follows depending on the quantizing

figure when formatting.

<Note>

• Do not change the sampling ferquency of a completed program.

• Changing of the sampling frequency will be limited by the quantizing figure (16bit or 24bit) set at

formatting of the current drive.

Current drive formatting by 24bit:

A program in 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz can be made.

Current drive formatting by 16bit:

A program in 44.1kHz or 48kHz can be made.

• Please remember the following points should there be programs with a different FS in the current

drive.

* Do not copy or paste between programs with different FS. Fostex cannot take responsibility in

compensation of data which had been “copied” or “pasted” between programs with different FS.

* In the section “Digital recording” explained above, be sure to set the external digital equipment

sampling frequency the same as that of the program.

1. First, start the program in which the FS is to be

changed by using the“program change”menu

explained above.

5.Exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the [EXIT/

NO] key or [STOP] button.

<Note>

2. Press the [SETUP] key to enter the SETUP mode.

If you change the FS (44.1 or 48kHz) of a program

in the 24-track mode to 88.2 or 96kHz, the

program automatically changes to the 8-track

mode and track numbers 1 through 8 on the

display are lit.

The display will change to SETUP mode.

3. Rotate the Jog dial to display the“Sample Rate?”

menu and then press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

When the [EXECUTE/YES] key is pressed, the FS figure of

the current activated program will flash and the recorder

will enter the editing mode.

The following shows display examples when

changing the FS of a 48kHz/24bit program to

96kHz.
