There’s only one chance to capture the performance. One chance to capture the magic. You need a solution which is tough, reliable, proven, rack-mountable, expandable and with enough inputs for the whole band. In short, you need the new Fostex D2424LV. This ultra-high specification 24 track digital recorder is simply the most capable, most flexible, best sounding, and easy to use digital multitrack ever.
The performance is about to start and the last thing you need is a machine which is difficult to use. Don’t worry, as thanks to the clear and concise interface which enables intuitive access to the facilities on offer, the Fostex D2424LV is incredibly easy to get to grips with.
The front-panel remote control, for example, can be located up to 10 metres from the recorder (with optional Model 8551B x 2 fitted), while individual tracks can be named and exchanged with ease. Usability is enhanced further still, with the ‘All Input’ and ‘All Ready’ functions which allow you to check all input signals and make all tracks ready with single button pushes.
Location facilities incorporate Recall Locate to the 99 locate memories using the jog/shuttle wheel and Prev/Next Locate by simply pressing the Prev/Next key. Other ‘studio’ features include a Mark/Stop function which allows the Fostex D2424LV to stop automatically at a preset Mark point, Program Chain Play which allows for a compilation of programs to be played back in a certain order, and footswitch control for start/stop as well as punch in/out functions.
Backing up recordings can be to external SCSI-2 media, DAT, ADAT or to an optional secondary internal hard drive or optional DVD-RAM drive. Whether in the studio or on the road, the Fostex D2424LV delivers rock solid performance.
