Track Number Limitations
The DR16pro carries certain technical limitations regarding the number of tracks you can use
simultaneously for recording and playback. In practical terms, it is unlikely that you will encounter
this limitation. Nevertheless, this limitation is described below.
When you select a track for recording (including auto or manual punch-in), if the number of play
back tracks (including those that contain no data) exceeds a certain number, some tracks may not
play back. In this case, the track indication on the counter will flash, indicating that the correspond-
ing track will not play back.
This “certain number” of tracks is defined as when the number of recording tracks plus two times
the number of playback tracks is equal to or greater than 32. In this case, one track will not play
back for every two tracks that are recording.
If the number 32 is exceeded, the recording tracks will take priority and the playback tracks will not
be heard.
As mentioned above, it is most likely to occur when you attempt to punch in numerous tracks
simultaneously.
Tip:
You can select which tracks are going to be muted by turning off some unimportant
playback tracks before you select the recording tracks, e.g. if 3 tracks are to be recorded, turn
off 2 playback tracks prior to setting the recording tracks.
Monitoring
During a recording session, you may want to change the signal that you are monitoring. Use the
CHANNEL ON keys and TRACK REC keys for this purpose. The following table shows monitor
operation under various conditions:
Note:
If the channel you are monitoring was set to BUSL or BUSR during Input Select (see
“Selecting the Input Channels” on page 35), the source monitor signal of the channel (input
signal) will not be output.
