Mackie HDR2496 24-Bit 24-Track Hard Disc Recorder
Familiar Transport Controls and Meters Operating it is a breeze. Just arm some tracks, select your monitoring flavor, press PLAY/RECORD, and go! The transport buttons even feel like a classic recorder. Optional Remotes The Remote24 is your "engineer in a box" for performers doing their own recording. Select and record-arm tracks, set loop and punch points, meter record levels, punch in and out with a foot switch. Start, Stop, Play — even "rock the reels" with traditional transport buttons. Now 96kHz Capable! With the release of version 1.1 for the HDR24/96 you can now take advantage of the benefits of 96kHz sample rate digital recording and playback. Using our PDIÝ8 AES-EBU I/O card, the HDR24/96 supports the AES-EBU 2 wire, or "double-wide" digital audio standard. Each PDIÝ8 card provides 4 channels of 96kHz AES-EBU Input and Output for a total of twelve 96kHz record tracks. Connect via Analog or Digital I/O Cards The HDR24/96 connects to any console — large or small, analog or digital. Select from 4 I/O cards (the same cards used in our d8b digital mixer). The AIOÝ8 provides 8 channels of 24-bit A/D and D/A converters. The DIOÝ8 offers both ADAT and T/DIF digital I/O and includes Apogee UV-22 Super Encoding. The PDIÝ8 has 8 channels of 24-bit AES-EBU I/O. Mix-n-Match Cards for Any Application I/O cards can be mixed and matched, in groups of 8 channels. Got some old analog tracks to preserve in pristine digital format? Connect to AIOÝ8 cards. Want to lay tracks off to Pro Toolsœ? Stick in a DIOÝ8 or PDIÝ8 card to connect to your 888œ interface — and press PLAY. HDR24/96 and the d8b — A Match Made in Heaven Connecting the HDR24/96 to the Mackie Digital 8ÝBus console creates one of the most powerful, flexible, and affordable production platforms available. From the d8b you can arm tracks, locate, transport, and jog/shuttle the HDR24/96. Toss in a few d8b plug-ins and you've got a DAW at a fraction of the cost of existing systems. 24 Tracks — No Waiting Because you're recording onto an ultra-fast UDMA IDE hard drive, there's no itching and scratching as you wait for tapes to rewind, for MDM's to lock-up to each other...in fact, there's almost no waiting at all! (The back-up singers'll probably ask you to slow down so they can catch their breath.) Easy Punch-In/Out and Loop Recording The HDR24/96 makes it super easy to set auto-punch in and out times. Set In, Out and a pre-roll time and that's it. No blown punches. No lost audio. And if it doesn't work, simply UNDO. No hard feelings. Set loop points for repeated playback of a selected region to practice guitar solos, work out vocal harmonies, teach the concept of constant tempo to the drummer, etc...Loop also works in record as you'll see below. 192 Virtual Tracks Each of the HDR24/96's tracks expands to reveal 8 takes. That's 8 chances to capture sheer musical brilliance — or at least something that'll fool most people. Internal IDE Drive Of course, each HDR24/96 ships with its own 20+ Gig Ultra DMA IDE internal hard drive. You get over 90 minutes of full 24-track, 24-bit recording time at 48kHz. Two-track recording? That's 18 hours! Each session is saved as a Project which includes all track data, volume envelopes, EDL, and different versions of edits. Digital Audio and Sync Every digital audio recorder needs to be able to connect to other digital recorders, digital mixers, effects devices, video decks, and sequencers. There are 3 categories of sync to understand — Sample/Word Clock, Time Code, and Machine Control. Sample/Word Clock In order for 2 digital devices to share digital audio paths, Word Clock or a high-resolution Word Clock needs to be connected between them. This connection insures that the Sample Clocks of both devices run at exactly the same speed. If they don't, you can experience audio "pops" and "clicks." When connecting 2 digital recorders together, poor Word Clock sync could even result in positional drift between the 2 devices. The HDR24/96 is one of the best in the business when it comes to sync. It can lock to Word Clock found in audio production studios, or video Black-burst (NTSC or PAL) in post and broadcast facilities. The HDR24/96 can be the Master clock source or the Slave, depending on your set-up. Time Code Sample Clock controls the playback speed of devices. Time Code controls when devices play. "I want all machines to start at 2 minutes and 3 seconds into the song." If you have 2 devices, running at the same clock speed, that start at the exact same time, you have perfect sync. The HDR24/96 can generate or slave to all flavors of SMPTE Time Code (LTC) and MIDI Time Code (MTC), the MIDI equivalent of SMPTE. Midi Machine Control (MMC) Finally, there's another type of sync — really macro. Pressing PLAY or other transport controls of a MIDI device controls the HDR24/96 — and vice-versa. Scrub/Shuttle too. Tracks can be armed remotely, punched in and out and the HDR24/96 can be auto-located. It's all standard equipment on the HDR24/96. Ethernet Bridge to the Desktop Need to move a project into a DAW? Want to pull audio loops downloaded with your PC from the Internet into the HDR24/96? Want to store projects on some of the SCSI devices already hooked-up to your computer? The HDR24/96's built-in 100Base-T Ethernet port is there to serve. Near real-time transfers of 24-track, 24-bit files assure that you spend your time working, not waiting. Simply use Vicomœ, Cute FTPœ, or any other File Transfer Protocol (FTP) application for Mac or PC. Local Area Network For file sharing between multiple HDR24/96's in your production facility, connect them to a mini-hub and a PC. Each HDR24/96 has its own unique TCP-IP address to effectively direct traffic. And thanks to the HDR24/96's built-in 100Base-T Ethernet port, transfers are near real-time. Internet Connectivity Every HDR24/96 is also an FTP server. Fire up Vicomœ, Cute FTPœ, or any other FTP application and post projects on the Internet. From anywhere in the world you can retrieve that project and pull it into another HDR24/96. No more FedEx, couriers, or homing pigeons. Transfer Methods There are 3 methods of transferring audio files from the HDR24/96 into a DAW (Mac or PC-based). Each method achieves the same result with the same audio quality. It's just a matter of choosing the method with which you are most comfortable. Hard Drive Transfer If you want to simply remove a hard drive from the HDR24/96 and mount it into your computer here's what to do: PC: Install a Mackie Media drive frame (available from Mackie) in your PC in one of its standard hard drive bays. Remove the Mackie Media M90 or PROJECT from the HDR24/96 and install it into your PC. It will show up as the D:, E:, or F; drive depending on what other drives you have installed. Macintosh: Connect a SCSI or USB Orb drive to your Mac. Remove the Mackie Media PROJECT cartridge from the HDR24/96 and insert it into the Mac's Orb drive. The Mac can read FAT16 files directly from the Orb drive as .wav files. Ethernet Transfer Connect the 100Base-T Ethernet port of the HDR24/96 to your Mac or PC's Ethernet port (or to a mini hub to which the computer is connected). Using any FTP application such as Fetchœ or Cute FTPœ, type in the TCP-IP address of the HDR24/96 and transfer the files to the computer. Open the files from within the DAW application running on the PC. Direct Transfer This is the easiest and most reliable method of transfer. Connect the I/O of the HDR24/96 to the I/O of the DAW's hardware interface, connect Word Clock and set one device as Master and the other as Slave. Record enable the DAW and press play. The project will play in at real time with sample accurate lock and you can monitor the results during the whole process. (Or go get a Cuppa Joe.) HDR24/96 Graphical User Interface (GUI) We call it a "gooey," but it's slick as all get out. The HDR24/96's GUI is not just little colored blocks — but real waveforms, drawn in real-time. Increase your accuracy, your productivity, your artistry. Scrolling Real-Time Tracks with Waveforms The HDR24/96's ultra-fast ATI¬ Rageœ Pro, game-grade quality video card provides a look at your work like you've never seen before. Real-time waveforms scroll past a fixed 'now' line (instead of jerky page jumps). You can select a color palette to suit your mood. View all 24 tracks. Narrow your scope down to a stereo pair. Zoom to view tracks right down to the sample, in real-time — without effecting the HDR24/96's performance. Duplicates All Front Panel Controls You don't need a monitor to operate the HDR24/96 but it sure gets cool when you plug one in! All front panel controls are right on the screen, and you'll rarely see a menu. 24 track meters get even better as the HDR24/96 displays 'plasma-style' peak/hold and averaging levels at the same time. Large 8-character 'LED' display shows current time, and the transport controls are right there. Cue Lists, Auto-Locate, Punch, and Loop Cue points, Locates and Punch In/Out points are a snap to set. Either click and drag the mouse in each time display or 'type and tab' from the keyboard. You can capture points on-the-fly from the GUI, keyboard, front panel, or remotes. A pop-out window displays all cue points as you add them. Simply double-click or use the keyboard to locate any point in a project instantly. No Computer Needed!! No expensive Mac or extraneous software-laden PC is needed to perform graphical waveform editing on the HDR24/96. There's no risk of a new screen saver tanking your whole recording session. Simply plug an SVGA monitor, PS2 mouse and standard PC keyboard into the HDR24/96's rear panel ports — and you're ready to go. (Fancy-pants studios pump the video output into a data-grade projector or flat screen plasma display to really wow the clients!) Fast, Powerful, Intuitive Graphical User Interface Audio editing with a 20x2 LCD window is like trying to read a newspaper by looking through a soda straw. And waveform editing? Fuhgedaboudit. Only with the HDR24/96's GUI can you unleash true creativity. The most intricate tasks such as slipping, trimming, looping, fading, and cross-fading tracks are so easy you'll wonder if you even did them! (Trust us, you have.) And you probably won't even have to crack open the Owner's Manual. Easy Navigation One of the most time-consuming tasks in working with a DAW is navigating around the GUI — going from an overview of your project, then down to the track, then to the audio data that you need to select and edit. In addition to lots of on-screen navigation tools and keyboard short-cuts, the HDR24/96 has an exclusive "Dive Key." Position the mouse anywhere on the track overview and press the 'Z' key on your keyboard. You are instantly zoomed to where you can immediately select, nudge, trim, and edit. Letting go of the 'Z' key pops you right back out. Cool. Standard Cut, Copy, Paste Editing All that time you spent with your nose pressed to the screen of a word processor or spreadsheet isn't about to go to waste. The HDR24/96 uses all of the standard editing keyboard shortcuts you're so familiar with. Cut, Copy, and Paste may seem like simple editing commands, but this is the real power of hard disk-based recorders. It's the type of editing that gets done most of the time. The HDR24/96's GUI makes it a breeze. Drag 'n Drop Editing Keyboard shortcuts aside, The HDR24/96's GUI also allows really easy and powerful drag 'n drop editing. Pull a region out of the region list and drop it onto the track view. Snap the region to Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames or Bars:Beats:Ticks. Pull a region from one track and join it to another to create a new region. Slip regions, trim their beginning or end points. Turn on 'Loop' and drag a region's start or end points as far as you need. Hip-hop Heaven! All of these edit commands are possible without going anywhere near a menu. It's simply a click of the mouse. Real Digital Audio Editing Power Here's where the rubber hits the road. The HDR24/96 GUI's context sensitive mouse changes from one type of tool to another based on where you move it. The most complex editing tasks become a drag 'n drop breeze. Pull the top right or left corner of a region to create fade-ins and fade-outs. Right click to select the fade curves. Push one region into another and instantly create a cross-fade with your selection of 9 different fade curve combinations. The HDR24/96 re-draws all waveforms in real-time as you edit. You can't do this with a 20x2 LCD window or JavaScriptœ application running on a PC! Volume Automation The HDR24/96 lets you automate the volume of each region by creating a region volume envelope. Click to add as many volume points as you need. Click again to drag them into position, creating as complex a mix as you can imagine. It mutes, too. Got an analog console that lacks level and mute automation? Not any more! Go back and lay those old 2" sessions into the HDR24/96 and get the mix you always wanted. Scrubbing Mouse — and More You can scrub all 24 tracks of audio on the HDR24/96 from the jog/shuttle wheel of our d8b digital mixer, Remote 48 (coming soon-ish), or any other MMC wheel. But scrubbing gets really cool with the HDR24/96's mouse! Listen to what you're doing as you drag to spot edits and set markers. It's all real-time and designed to make you more creative and productive.
