Limitless Editing Abilities
Track editing is raised to new heights in these Xtended Definition digital
recorders. You can swap, delete, move, bounce, normalize, copy, reverse –
even fade tracks in or out. Expansion and compression tools allow you to shrink
or stretch a track to fit into a specific time, with either fixed or variable
pitch. Optimize commands include deleting recorded silent areas to recover
valuable recording time, or removing punch in/out artifacts. You can also
import and export track data as .WAV format audio files, with internal digital
rate conversion, include 24 to 16 bit dithering. Once again, the huge TouchView
display comes to the rescue, making it easy to zoom in on the displayed audio
data and set your edit points with great accuracy. Change your mind? All edits
(up to the last sixteen) can be reversed using the Undo command.
Put It All Together
After you’ve recorded to your heart’s content, burn your creation
to CD and give it a listen. Feeling prolific? Arrange multiple songs in order,
specify the gap time between songs, and burn your CD all at once using the
Album Project feature. Mark points can be used to create track indexes when
burning a continuous performance (a live concert for example) to CD.
Studio Friendly
Designed to be at home in an increasingly digital studio environment, the
D16XD recorder comes equipped with S/P DIF optical connectors for digital
input and output. A two GB area of the internal hard drive is designated as
the USB drive, which can be recognized by a computer connected to the D16XD’s
USB port for easy file sharing. An additional eight channels of digital I/O
are available in ADAT light-pipe format by adding the optional Digital Interface
Board (DIB-8). This option also includes a digital word clock input and output.
Transport, fader movement, effect settings and other controls changes can
be sent and received via MIDI. The D16XD can also send and receive MIDI Time
Code (MTC) and MIDI Machine Control (MMC) commands and send MIDI Clock. Multiple
frame rates are supported for MTC sync.
Brilliant Ergonomic Design
The D16XD is designed to provide unparalleled ease of use, the highest quality audio recording and processing available – and to look good doing it. The clean, stylish lines and uncluttered control surface are preserved thanks to the huge TouchView display that organizes a wealth of parameters and controls into easily accessed on-screen menus. This new display features enhanced resolution, a four-tone gray scale, and tilts up for easy viewing. The improvements to the display make it ideal for audio editing functions. Four dedicated knobs below the display provide permanent realtime access to the Effects parameters. Similar dedicated knobs and buttons for the individual EQs and Sends are located to the right of the display.
