apparently it is possible to record simutaneously with digital and analogue
inputs. i thought i would investigate this since i was interested in the
D2424lv and i own a D160 and use both inputs on my unit. the following is my
correspondence with matt at fostex. sorry about the sequence, start at the
bottom to follow along. m.c.

Sorry, I forgot about S/PDIF input.

If the Digital input is set o S/PDIF, they are automatically routed to track
1 and 2.killing analog input to track 1 and 2.
however, all other tracks (track 3-24 )will get the signal from its analog
input.
In other word, you can record track 1 and 2 from S/PDIF and 3-24 from
analog input.

This S/PDIF input routing to track 1 and 2 is fixed and can not be changed.

If you want to record to other tracks from the S/PDIF input, you need to use
"Track Exchange " function, and swap track 1 and 2 with other blank track
and keep recording to these track pair.

Can you assign the digital input to just two of the available tracks if you
are using a separate a/d converter or does it have to be an adat source. I
know on the d160 you can record analog on 1-8 and assign the digital inputs
to any pair from 9-16. is this possible with the d2424? Thanks much, m.c.

Hi!

You can record track 1-8 from analog input sor 1-16 from analog inputs and
the lest (track 9-16) or (17-24) from digital Adat source.

If you set the Digital input to be ADAT. and valid ADAT signal is present at
the DIGITAL INPUT port ( 1-8, 9-16, 17-34),
you can not record from analog input to these tracks.
However, if the valid ADAT signal in NOT present, to these DIGITAL INPUT
port, you can record analog input.

Because of the format difference, D2424VL will not playback audio from D-160
hard drive.

Hi Matt! Just a couple of questions for you. Can the D2424LV record analog
and digital at the same time? Also, will it playback drives from a fostex
D160? Thanks, m.c.

Well I'll be damned!!!! Thank you Michael for getting to the bottom of that
and my sincere apologies to those I misled out of my ignorance! ( including
myself, although I'm not one to forgive myself very easily )

If you look at the D2424LV manual it confirms what you've been told. Page
119, second box down on the right side, second section. I probably just read
the larger box at the bottom of page 118 and assumed that you couldn't do
both at once.
