D24—Owner’s Manual

Important Information

Read the Following Before Operating the D24

Warnings

• Do not subject the D24 to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or dust,

which could be a potential ﬁre or electrical shock hazard.

• Connect the D24 power cord to an AC outlet of the type stated in this

Owner’s Manual

or as indicated on the D24. Failure to do so is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This may overload the AC outlet,

and could be a ﬁre or electrical shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some

devices.

• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. A damaged power cord is a potential ﬁre

and electrical shock hazard.

• If the power cord is damaged (e.g., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a

replacement. Using the D24 with a damaged power cord is a ﬁre and shock hazard.

• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord.

A power cord damaged through pulling is a potential ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not place small metal objects on top of the D24. Metal objects falling inside the D24

is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not block the D24 ventilation slots. The D24 has ventilation slots at the side and a

cooling fan at the rear to keep the internal components cool. Blocking the ventilation

slots or obstructing the fan’s airﬂow is a potential ﬁre hazard.

• Do not attempt to modify the D24. This is a potential ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• The D24 operating temperature is between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).

Cautions

• Allow enough free space around the unit for normal ventilation. This should be: 10 cm

behind and 20 cm above.

These distances should also be adopted when rack-mounting the unit. For normal ven-

tilation during use, remove the rear of the rack or open a ventilation hole.

If the airﬂow is not adequate, the unit will heat up inside and may cause a ﬁre.

• Turn off audio devices when connecting them to the D24, and use only the cables spec-

iﬁed in the relevant owner’s manuals.

• If you notice any abnormality—such as smoke, odor, or noise—turn off the D24 imme-

diately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Conﬁrm that the abnormality is no

longer present. Using the D24 in this condition is a potential ﬁre and shock hazard.

Consult your dealer for repair.

• If a foreign object or water gets inside the D24, turn it off immediately. Remove the

power cord from the AC outlet. Using the D24 in this condition is a potential ﬁre and

electrical shock hazard. Consult your dealer for repair.

• If you plan not to use the D24 for a long period of time, remove the power cord from

the AC outlet. Leaving the D24 connected is a potential ﬁre hazard.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the D24.

Use only a soft, dry cloth.

ii

D24—Owner’s Manual

MO Disks

• Use only MO disks of the type speciﬁed in this manual.

• Store MO disks in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.

• Do not slide open the MO disk shutter, and never touch the actual disk.

• If an MO disk is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a

warmer environment, condensation may form on the disk. In this case, the disk should

be left to acclimatize for about 30 minutes before use.

Interference

The D24 uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference on radio and

television equipment located nearby. If interference is a problem, relocate the affected

equipment.

Manufacturer, importer, or dealer shall not be liable for any incidental damages includ-

ing personal injury or any other damages caused by improper use or operation of the

Chapter 1—Welcome to the D24

D24—Owner’s Manual

Welcome to the D24

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha D24 Digital Multitrack Recorder.

The D24 uses standard 3.5-inch removable MO (Magneto Optical) disks for digital

audio recording and playback. By employing a removable media, backup downtime in

between sessions is eliminated. When one session is complete, simply insert a new disk

and begin recording right away. Random access capability provides instant access to up

to 99 projects per disk, 99 locate memories per project, all without unproductive

rewinding and fast forwarding. Audio data is not compressed, and superb sonic perfor-

mance is achieved using 16-, 20-, or 24-bit recording resolutions and 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,

88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz sampling rates, all of which can be set on a project-by-project basis.

Overwrite-type 640 MB MO disks offer 8-track simultaneous recording, with a 24-bit

recording resolution and 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling rates, and 4-track simultaneous

recording at the higher sampling rates of 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz. A single 640 MB MO disk

provides a total recording time of 120 track minutes, or 30 minutes for 4 tracks, 15 min-

utes for 8 tracks. In addition to the eight main tracks, each track features up to eight vir-

tual tracks, for a grand total of 64 tracks. Auto punch in/out recording, with multiple

take capability, allows you to choose the best from up to 99 takes. Both manual and auto

punch in/out recording can be rehearsed with automatic playback and input monitor

switching.

Video machine-like shuttle playback makes it easy to locate material, and the current

position can be nudged in sub-frame steps while listening to a small section of the sur-

rounding material. Tracks can be soloed for individual track monitoring. Other fea-

tures include ±6% varispeed, A-B repeat playback, and fast forward or rewind at 8x or

16x normal playback speed.

In addition to the 99 locate memories, the A, B, Last Rec In, and Last Rec Out points

offer additional ways locate speciﬁc positions quickly, repeatedly, and accurately. Other

quick locate functions include Project Search, Return to Zero, and Roll Back. Location

points can be speciﬁed with sub-frame accuracy.

Additional recording space can be made available, and projects backed up by connect-

ing optional, external hard disk drives or removable media disk drives to the D24’s SCSI

port. The number of tracks available for simultaneous recording and playback can be

expanded in multiples of eight by combining up to eight D24s. The total continuous

recording time can be extended by using two D24s in Serial mode. The D24’s 3U rack

size makes it a drop-in alternative to modular digital multitrack recorders.

Optional mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) cards offer a variety

of analog and digital I/O conﬁgurations, with support for all the popular digital audio

interconnect formats: AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam TDIF-1. S/PDIF Coaxial I/O

allows digital stereo transfer between 2-channel digital audio equipment, CD players,

DAT decks, and mastering equipment. A front panel phones jack provides convenient

monitoring.

Once recorded, projects, tracks, and parts can be edited using non-destructive editing

functions, such as 50% to 200% time compression and expansion, ideal for

audio-ﬁt-video applications, and pitch change without speed change. Project editing

functions include Copy, Delete, Erase, Title, Protect, and Timecode Modify. Track edit-

ing functions include Copy, Move, Erase, Swap, and Slip. Part editing functions include

Copy, Move, Erase, Insert Space, Insert Copy, and Delete, with single-step undo and

redo. Edit points can be speciﬁed with sub-frame accuracy.

D24—Owner’s Manual

Tape recorder-like transport controls, and the Large vacuum ﬂuorescent display, with

large, easy to read counter, make operation a breeze. Visual level monitoring is provided

by eight 16-segment track level meters. Selectable normal and ﬁne scales make it easy

to set precise levels when recording reference tones. Also, projects can be titled for easy

identiﬁcation.

The D24 can generate, or synchronize to either SMPTE/EBU or MTC (MIDI Time-

code) timecode. Timecode synchronization is to 1/10-frame accuracy, and an offset can

be set relative to an external timecode source.

Remote control is possible using MMC (MIDI Machine Control), or video editing

equipment that supports 9-pin protocols.

Other features include Absolute (ABS) and Relative (REL) counter modes, disk dupli-

cation with two D24s, and the ability to mount D24 MO disks on personal computers.

See “D24 Features” on page 4 for a concise rundown of D24 features.

Choosing MO Disks

The D24’s internal MO disk drive uses removable 3.5-inch MO (Magneto Optical)

disks for recording and playback. Normal or Overwrite-type MO disks in a variety of

sizes can be used, but only 640 MB Overwrite-type disks support 8-track simultaneous

recording with a 24-bit recording resolution. The number of tracks available for simul-

taneous recording depends on the type of MO disk used, its capacity, the selected

recording resolution, and sampling rate. See the following section for more informa-

tion.

Both normal and Overwrite-type MO disks support 8-track simultaneous playback at

sampling rates of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, and 4-track simultaneous playback at 88.2 kHz

and 96 kHz.

Overwrite-type disks feature the Overwrite logo shown here.

Tracks Available for Simultaneous Recording

The following table lists the number of tracks available for simultaneous recording with

a variety of normal and Overwrite-type MO disks at each recording resolution and

sampling rate.

For performance reasons, it’s recommended that you do not use 128 MB MO disks.

When tracks that have already been recorded are playing back, depending on the num-

ber and performance of those tracks (i.e., how heavily they’ve been edited), the number

of tracks available for simultaneous recording is reduced. Use the Optimize function to

arrange the recorded sound ﬁles for optimum performance. See “Recovering Disk

Space” on page 172 for more information.

Recording Time

The total recording time depends on the disk capacity, recording resolution, and sam-

pling rate. A 640 MB Overwrite-type MO disk, for example, offers a total recording

time of 120 track minutes with a 16-bit recording resolution and 44.1 kHz sampling

rate.

The following table lists the approximate recording times offered by a variety of MO

disk capacities, with a 16-bit recording resolution and 44.1 kHz sampling rate.

D24—Owner’s Manual

The following table lists the approximate recording times available using 640 MB MO

disks at a variety of recording resolutions and sampling rates.

Higher recording resolutions and sampling rates offer higher quality, but produce more

data, which reduces the total available recording time. Use the Remain function to

check the available recording time. See “Checking the Time Remaining” on page 38 for

more information.

The number of tracks available for simultaneous recording can be expanded using mul-

tiple D24s. See “Multiple D24s” on page 144 for more information.

The D24’s internal MO disk drive supports 230 MB, 540 MB, and 640 MB MO disks.

See the Yamaha Professional Audio Web site at the address below for up-to-date news

on MO disks.

<http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/proaudio/homeenglish/>

Preformatted MO Disks

MO disks preformatted for use with PC or Macintosh computers can be used with the

D24, but require formatting before use. See “Formatting MO Disks” on page 26 for

more information.

Calculating the approximate Recording Time

You can calculate the approximate recording time for a given recording resolution,

sampling rate, and disk capacity as follows. First multiple the recording resolution by

the sampling rate to get the number of bits produced per second (e.g., 16

×

44100 =

705,600 bits per second). Then divide that by eight to get the number of bytes per sec-

ond (e.g., 705,600

÷

8 = 88,200 bytes per second). Multiply that by 60 to get the number

of bytes required per minute (e.g., 88,200

×

60 = 5,292,000 bytes per minute, or 5.292

MB/min). Now you know the number of megabytes required to store one minute of

audio data, simply divide the capacity of the disk by that number to get the approximate

number of track minutes (e.g., 640,000,000

÷ 5,292,000 = 120 minutes). Finally, divide

the number of track minutes by two, four, or eight to get the approximate recording

time available for several tracks (e.g., 120 ÷ 8 = 15 minutes for 8-track simultaneous

recording).

C Counter

The main counter shows the current position in

hours, minutes, seconds, and frames,

(00:00:00.00), and can display the absolute

(ABS) time or relative (REL) time. See “Using

Absolute & Relative Zero” on page 49 for more

information.

The 2nd line of the message area displays time

information in hours, minutes, seconds, frames,

and sub-frames (00:00:00.00.0). Each sub-frame

is one tenth of a frame, making 10 sub-frames

per frame.

The 2nd line is also used to display the remaining recording time. See “Checking the

Time Remaining” on page 38 for more information.

D READY indicators

These indicators show which tracks are selected for recording. When a track is selected

for recording, the corresponding READY indicator ﬂashes. During recording or

rehearsal, the corresponding indicator lights up continuously. See “Recording” on page

33 for more information.

E Message area

The message area consists of two lines that can each display up to 12 characters, which

typically show the status and operating mode of the D24, function and parameter

names and values, project titles and numbers, locate memory numbers, editing infor-

mation, time values, and so on.

This indicator shows whether or not the D24 is locked to the selected wordclock source.

See “Selecting a Wordclock Source” on page 124 for more information.

G CHASE indicator

This indicator shows whether or not the D24 is synchronized to the external timecode

source. It ﬂashes when the D24 is chasing, and lights up continuously when it’s fully

synchronized. See “Chasing External Timecode” on page 138 for more information.

This window shows the selected sampling rate: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz.

When 88.2 kHz is selected, both the 44.1 kHz and 96 kHz indicators light up. See

“Selecting a Wordclock Source” on page 124 for more information.

The “VARI” indicator lights up when the Varispeed function is turned on. See “Using

Varispeed” on page 55 for more information.

K TC window

This window shows the selected timecode source: master or slave. When set to master,

the D24 uses internal timecode, and when set to slave, an external timecode source. See
