The First Hard Disk Recorder Worthy of the Name ADAT
5
16. Can I record on both drives simultaneously (mirroring)?
No. If a backup of song data is required, then the user can copy the song from drive to drive
after it is recorded, or use a second ADAT HD24 connected to the first with three ADAT Optical
cables and a Sync cable to record a mirror copy in real time.
17. Does the HD24 record its 24 tracks across two hard drives?
No, every single drive allows full 24 track recording. The second drive is simply for backup
purposes and extra flexibility.
18. Is there going to be a DVD-RAM drive module available in the future?
No. DVD-RAM drives aren't even close to being fast enough to deal with 24 track, 24-bit audio
being simultaneously recorded and played back in real time as is necessary for this application.
Only hard disks can handle this, and it's likely to stay this way for many years to come. To use
a DVD for storage or backup, simply attach one to a computer, and transfer files from the ADAT
HD24 to the computer.
19. How long does it take to backup a 10GB drive?
From drive to drive of the HD24, about 20 minutes. To back up individual songs depends on
the length of the song—a full-size 24-track recording 5 minutes long will take about 2.5
minutes to back up to the other drive.
20. How long will it take to transfer audio between the HD24 and a computer via the Ethernet port?
Transfer speed will vary depending on the speed of the computer and the software used. The
HD24 transfer speed itself is over 4 times realtime so transferring a vocal track to a workstation
for some more in depth tweaking will only take a few moments. However, moving a full 24-track
song using Ethernet can take longer than realtime because the format does not transfer all 24
tracks at once. In any case, it will vary depending on the speed of the computer or
network receiving the files, and upon the FTP software of the computer. Specialized FTP
transfer software (like Transmit, available as shareware from Panic Software, or WSFTP (PC), or
Fetch (Mac)) does the job in 1/6th the time of some web browser software. Transferring a 24-
track 4-minute song takes about 16 minutes to a Mac using Transmit. Once in the Mac or PC,
you can drop the tracks into any digital audio editor (such as Logic Audio by Emagic, the com-
pany who designed the ADAT/EDIT software) and perform waveform editing, mixing and DSP.
21. Are the caddies safe enough for shipping drives via mail?
Additional padded packaging is necessary for reliable transportation/shipping. Shock-resistant
caddy carriers will be available which will help to protect the drives during handling.
