Each hard drive in the HD24 can handle up to 64 different songs.
37. Does ADAT HD24 have a screen option for displaying waveforms and doing advanced
editing?
No, there is no VGA jack on the HD24's rear panel. But yes, you can see waveforms…by
transferring the audio to any computer and using your favorite editing software. While some
competing recorders feature built-in computers and VGA display options, you could buy a com-
plete computer based editing system (including computer, monitor and software) and an HD24
for the same cost as these recoders. And you’ll be working on industry standard editing systems,
not learning a whole new version of editing developed specifically for one recorder. It just makes
more sense to use an external computer for waveform editing, instead of forcing people to pay
for a computer within a recorder. There are several different ways to transfer standard audio
files from the ADAT HD24 to a PC or Mac, where you can use the many fine (and sometimes
free) multitrack editing programs available from many different vendors, including Alesis' own
ADAT/EDIT featuring software from Emagic.
III. Computer editing and the Ethernet port
38. Which options do I have to transfer audio to a computer and back?
The HD24 comes standard with an Ethernet port which can be used to move files to and from
your computer. Your HD24 files can be read as either AIFF or WAV files. In addition, you can
stream audio to a computer via the ADAT optical connectors: an ADAT/EDIT card in your PC
or Mac transfers audio in sync, eight tracks at a time. Many other computer interfaces with
multiple ADAT Optical ports are available from other manufacturers—if it works with an
existing ADAT, it will work with an ADAT HD24.
39. How is the Ethernet port used? How do I connect the HD24 to an Ethernet network?
The Ethernet port is used by connecting your HD24 Ethernet jack to your computer either through
a network hub, or directly to a single computer using a crossover type Ethernet network cable
(NOT a standard pin-to-pin cable). Your PC must have a 10/100 Base-T network card installed;
most Apple Macintosh computers provide this jack as standard equipment. If you don't have one,
any local computer store will have one for about $20.
40. What kind of software do I need to transfer files to a PC/Mac?
Once a physical Ethernet connection is made, the user can access the HD24 using a Web
Browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator), or any FTP client software. We've
found that Web Browsers are much slower at transferring via FTP, so we recommend a
stand-alone FTP client. Some free FTP client programs are WSFTP (PC) and Fetch (Mac) and there
are dozens more shareware and freeware utilities available for FTP file transfer from services
