The First Hard Disk Recorder Worthy of the Name ADAT
3
physically fits in a 3.5" disk caddy, the disk space could be almost as many gigabytes as you
want.
Having said that, consider that an 80 G B drive (available today for around $250) holds 6 hours
of 24-track audio (that's 8,640 track minutes), the equivalent of 24 forty minute 8 Track ADAT
tapes (actually more expensive at around $350).
9. How long does it take to format the hard drive?
The HD24 offers two format operations. A normal format, which is called a "quick" format on
the HD24, completes in less than 10 seconds. Another option for drive formatting is called a
"long" format. The long format writes zeros to every location on the drive in order to ensure that
data is erased. A long format of a 10G B drive will take approximately 15 minutes.
10. Is there any editing on board?
Yes, the HD24 comes fully equipped with built-in editing. The user can take advantage of the
HD24's scrubbing feature to hear any or all tracks scrubbing at the same time. Scrub to your
edit in and edit out points, and perform a cut, copy or paste to duplicate regions or whole tracks
in a song. Tracks can be individually selected for editing on the front panel as well. See the edit-
ing section for more on, uh, editing.
11. W hat’s the average seek time?
If you're talking about locate time, the response from when you hit PLAY, is incredibly fast. Since
the ADAT HD24 puts all tracks for a song in one place on the disk, you'll hear audio
in less than 1/ 10th of a second. (Competing recorders may take over 2 seconds to locate the
track on disk before you hear audio.)
For advanced users looking for the "seek time" specification for the hard drives the HD24 uses,
this will vary on a drive to drive basis. Many hard drives have a seek time of about 9mS. Seek
time variance of currently-available hard drives will not have an affect on HD24 performance.
12. W ill Alesis offer empty caddies for additional drives?
Yes. Empty caddies will be sold through your local Alesis dealer and will cost under $25 retail
(U.S.). It's quick and easy to install a raw drive in a caddy—justa few screws to attach it and
two plugs to connect it.
13. How many removeable drives can be installed simultaneously in HD24?
W hile other hard disk recorders only offer one or no removeable drives, the HD24 has two. This
allows for much more flexibility when it comes to managing your projects.
