General drive, controls and routing shortcuts — The center of the recording and playback screen
displays general drive status and controls on top and channel input routing shortcuts below.
• Ready / Formatting / Playing / Oine / No Disk / Ejected /
Scanning — This displays the current hard drive and/or playback
status.
• Refresh — This refreshes the hard drive and what les
are displayed in the stereo music playback and multichannel
recording and playback lists. If the displayed lists don’t look like
you think they should, then try refresh! This also helps if a new
drive has been attached.
• Eject — Tap the “Eject” button prior to disconnecting the USB
hard drive. Wait 2-3 seconds before removing the hard drive.
While it may seem like nothing is happening at the
moment, a lot of under-the-hood things are in constant
motion. Therefore, it is imperative that you tap the eject
button before physically removing the hard drive.
The hard drive may also be disconnected when the mixer
is turned o.
• Format — As discussed previously, format will erase the hard drive and format it for recording.
Go back to page 177 to review the instructions on formatting a drive.
As a reminder...even if the hard drive has already been formatted via dierent source, we highly
suggest formatting via the DL32R. In fact, never mind the “highly suggest.” DO IT!
The channel input shortcut buttons are a quick way to change the channel inputs from A to B for all
channels or just those used in the current recording. See below.
• Channel A / B — Tapping either the Channel A or Channel B button here changes the source for
ALL input channels to the selection (being source A or source B). The button does not remain
illuminated because the source may be changed for an input channel (or channels) via channel
input routing (as discussed on page 30).
• A Tracks / B Tracks — Tapping either the A Tracks or B Tracks button here changes the source for
the number of tracks in the CURRENT MULTICHANNEL PLAYBACK FILE to the selection (being
source A or source B). For example, if the currently selected multichannel le has eight tracks,
then only these eight channels will change to the source selection. The button does not remain
illuminated because the source may be changed for an input channel (or channels) via channel
input routing (as discussed on page 30).
I spent hours waiting for an 8-track from the product manager until nally realizing that
he was saying “A tracks”, not “8 tracks”, hmmmm. 8 tracks will make a comeback, too, right?
