ntroducing the world's first 24-track, 24-bit/96kHz hard disk recorders designed to fit comfortably into any standard ADAT environment - and match ADAT's legendary performance and affordability.
With their patent-pending method of writing to the hard drive, HD24 and HD24XR are the first hard disk recorders built from the ground up exclusively for the purpose of Recording music instead of data - resulting in remarkable stability and performance. And yet, thanks to their use of standard, low-cost IDE computer drives, the Recording media costs no more than traditional ADAT tape on a per track basis.
Two hot-swappable media bays provide convenient access to the Recording drives, and allow the user to backup data in just minutes. You can edit tracks internally or easily transfer to computer via built-in Ethernet. They're the only HD recorders on the market with standard ADAT Optical and ADAT Sync, enabling them to work efficiently with existing systems. And they offer the same exceptional user-friendly interface ADAT users have come to expect.
Sound recording is a form of recording or reproduction using electrical and mechanical translation of the sound waves. The sounds recorded are usually spoken voice, instrumental music, singing and sound effects. Audio recording can either be analog or digital. Analog recording uses a transducer such as a microphone to record sounds analogous to the air pressure surrounding the sound being recorded. The analog recorder may use a microphone diaphragm for acoustic sound recording. This microphone is highly sensitive to changes in the pressure of the acoustic sound waves. It records these sounds in graphic representations such as the phonograph that records grooves with a stylus. Sound waves from electronics can be directly reproduced from the pickups of an electric guitar or synthesizer. These are commonly used by musicians to hear how well they are doing during a recording session. Digital recording is the direct recording of audio or video into a storage device that records it as binary numbers representing the modifications in atmospheric pressure of the sound. The record can be stored and read back to be reproduced. This type of recording is more accurate and is more resistant to errors compared to analog recording. Both however have their own limitations. The analog system is bound by the capabilities of the medium and circuits used to record. In the digital system, the ratio of signal to noise is bound by the bit depth of the modification from analog to digital. Natural noise is a common limitation of both recording systems.
