Multitrack recording and virtual sound check
The RIVAGE PM series supports multitrack recording via a Dante network or MADI. To perform multitrack
recording, you must install an HY144-D card (maximum 144-in/144-out) in HY card slot 4 of the DSP engine (in
the case of the CSD-R7, in HY card slot 3), and then record using DAW software on your Dante network-
connected computer. If your computer already has Dante Accelerator (AIC128-D) installed, you can perform
up to 128-in/128-out (Fs=96 kHz), high-resolution recording. If you use Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS), you
can perform up to 64-in/64-out* (FS=48 kHz) recording. Materials that were recorded by multitrack recording
can be used for virtual sound check. For example, you can record a rehearsal session the day before the
concert, and use that recording for sound check on the day of the concert. This “virtual sound check” will
reduce the burden on both musicians and sound engineers, and will help them prepare better.
* The number of channels available for recording and playback varies depending on the specifications of the
computer that has the DAW installed.
• RECORDING PATCH (HY card slot 4 on the DSP engine (or HY card slot 3 on the CSD-R7))
The HY card slot 4 on the DSP engine (HY card slot 3 on the CSD-R7) is used for multitrack recording
exclusively. The HY card slot 4 features the RECORDING PATCH function for recording and playback. If you
select channels into which you want to perform multitrack recording, the Direct Out of the selected channels
will be automatically assigned. Since these can be switched to playback patching in a single operation, the
DAW playback can be used for a virtual sound check.
• Recording using Split Out (HY card slot 2 on the RPio622/222)
In addition, if the RPio622/222 is in mode 1, all input signals (total 128 channels) from the RY slots and MY
slots are always split and output from HY SLOT 2. This allows the input from the I/O rack to be recorded
directly to a DAW.
