Introduction to the 02R 7 Key Features This section looks at some of the key features of the Digital Recording Console 02R, what they mean to you, and some hints about how you can use them. Dynamic Automation One of the most demanding jobs of the recording engineer is taking all the raw material produced during a multitrack recording session and mixing it all together into an artistically satisfying master recording.
8 Introduction to the 02R Recalling the scene is even easier – just press the [RECALL] button. You should be careful that your scene memories flow into each other smoothly. The instant recall means that you can have very abrupt level changes or the unexpected intrusion of a very loud channel. Note: The 02R allows you to have programmable fades between scene memories. The only thing you need to watch is the sudden sound of a channel being switched on.
Introduction to the 02R 9 the current channel. You can customize your 02R to automatically select the corresponding display function when you adjust a control in these blocks. Motorized Faders In addition to the DISPLAY ACCESS and SELECTED CHANNEL controls, each input channel and the stereo master channel utilizes a 100mm motorized fader. When a scene memory is recalled, the faders position themselves automatically to the levels stored.
10 Introduction to the 02R Similar to the internal stereo effects, the dynamics processors are patched directly into the signal path while the audio data remains in the digital domain. Signal quality is unaffected by conversion to and from digital as would be the case if you used an external dynamics processor. The dynamics program settings are stored in the dynamics library as well as the scene memory.
Introduction to the 02R 11 Digital Recording Console 02R Sonic Performance The Digital Recording Console 02R uses linear 20-bit 64-times oversampling analog-to-digital converters to provide a typical dynamic range of 105 dB. This means that an audio program’s dynamic range, from low to high levels, is processed intact. The 02R samples audio at 44.1kHz, the commercial sampling rate for compact discs, and at 48kHz, the professional sampling rate.

20 Introductory Recording Tutorial Setting the Input Level Assuming that Digital Recording Console 02R is powered ON and your music source is playing, the very first thing you need to do is set up a basic control room monitor mix. When you recall Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial Data”, all the channel faders are set to the 0 dB mark. Setting Fader Levels 0 If the faders are not set to 0 dB, you should perform the following steps to optimize the input signal level for the best performance: 10 5 5 10 0 1.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 21 Setting the GAIN 1. Press the [METER] button. METER The METER Display function appears showing the signal level for MIC/LINE 1. 2. Press the [SEL] button for MIC/LINE 1. You are now monitoring the input channel MIC/LINE 1. SEL 20dB 3. If the sound is distorted, the PEAK indicator is illuminated, or the level is going up to CLIP, press the 20dB (pad) switch to attenuate the input signal for MIC/LINE 1.
22 Introductory Recording Tutorial Back off the GAIN control a little until the PEAK indicator illuminates very occasionally. The GAIN control should be set with some care. If it is set too low, the signal-to-noise performance will suffer, and if it is set too high, signal clipping and distortion may occur. ∅/ATT Display Function The signal level may be too high in the digital domain.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 23 The peak level is indicated by an empty square box. Peak Hold is very useful for level checking before recording. You can leave a mix to play through unattended while Peak Hold watches out for signal peaks. If any levels reach CLIP, back off the relevant GAIN control or use the ∅/ATT display function to attenuate the signal and run through the mix again. Note: The Peak Hold function also works on the stereo output meters and controls the optional meter bridge (MB02). 3.
24 Introductory Recording Tutorial Applying EQ The next step is to apply equalization to MIC/LINE 1. The Digital Recording Console 02R has a four-band fully parametric equalizer, with variable bandwidth (Q), frequency (F), and gain (G). The power of the 02R user interface means that there are two ways of adjusting the equalization for MIC/LINE 1. One method is to use the EQUALIZER display function.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 25 2. Press the [EQ] button. EQ The EQUALIZER display function appears showing the equalization curve and settings for MIC/LINE 1. 3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the EQ ON icon. If the equalizer is ON, the icon will be highlighted in reverse video. The LED inset in the [EQ ON] button of the SELECTED CHANNEL – EQUALIZER block controls will also be illuminated. 4. To switch the status of the EQ, either press the [ENTER] button or the [EQ ON] button.
26 Introductory Recording Tutorial The gain increases in 0.5 dB steps and the EQ curve on the display changes to reflect this. 3. Rotate the encoder wheel counterclockwise to reduce the gain. You can also adjust the “G” rotary encoder to reduce the gain. The gain decreases in 0.5 dB steps. 4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the gain (G) icon for the L-MID band and adjust its level with the encoder wheel. Select the other bands as well.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 27 Setting the Frequency 1. Select the frequency (F) icon for the LOW band using the CURSOR buttons. 2. Use the encoder wheel to sweep through the frequency range. You can also adjust the “F” rotary encoder of the EQUALIZER controls to achieve the same effect. All four bands of the 02R parametric equalizer cover virtually the entire audio spectrum, from 21 Hz to 20.1 kHz.
28 Introductory Recording Tutorial Setting the Bandwidth The L-MID and H-MID bands are peaking type equalizers. The LOW and HIGH bands are initially configured as shelving type equalizers, however, they can also be configured as peaking type equalizers. The LOW band can also be configured as a HPF (high-pass filter) and the HIGH band as a LPF (low-pass filter). 1. Select the bandwidth (Q) icon for the LOW band using the CURSOR buttons. 2. Use the encoder wheel to sweep through the bandwidth.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 29 Resetting the Equalizer 1. Press and hold the [LOW/HPF] button and then press the [HIGH/LPF] button of the SELECTED CHANNEL – EQUALIZER controls. All equalizer values will be reset to their defaults. LOW/HPF L-MID H-MID HIGH/LPF Q LOW SHELF Peak – 0.7 Peak – 0.7 HIGH SHELF F 125 Hz 1.00 kHz 4.00 kHz 10.
30 Introductory Recording Tutorial Using the EQUALIZER Library The Equalizer Library is used to access and store EQ settings – stored as programs. There are 32 preset programs (1 to 32) for you to recall and 96 user programs (33 to 128 plus UNDO) for you to store your own EQ settings. First you need to know how to recall EQ programs, then how to store your own. Note: The programs 33 to 40 contain preset programs and are listed in the “Equalizer Programs” on page 52 of the User’s Guide.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 31 4. Use the encoder wheel to select an EQ program. As the 02R scrolls through the list of EQ programs, a small diagram of the response curve of the highlighted EQ program is shown to the right of the list. 5. Press the [ENTER] button. The EQ program is recalled. The equalization curve for MIC/LINE 1 is set accordingly. The equalization curve at the top of the display is replaced by the new curve you selected. Your sound source is modified by the program you recalled.
32 Introductory Recording Tutorial Undoing a Recall If you decided you did not want to replace the current equalization curve with the program you selected from the EQ library, you can recall the previous curve. 1. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the RECALL icon and rotate the encoder wheel until program “U” is highlighted. Program “U” is the UNDO buffer. It always contains the last curve that was applied to a channel. 2. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the RECALL icon and press [ENTER].
Introductory Recording Tutorial 33 2. Select the STORE icon with the CURSOR buttons. In order to scroll through the list of EQ programs, the cursor must be on the STORE, RECALL, COPY, or PASTE icons. 3. Use the encoder wheel to select an EQ program. If you select one of the preset programs (1 to 32), an error message will flash on the screen when you attempt to store your program. Select a program from the 96 user programs (33 to 128).
34 Introductory Recording Tutorial You can select the “INS.” control icon to insert a space (blank) at the current cursor location in the TITLE EDIT box. Select the icon with the CURSOR buttons and press the [ENTER] button. The “DEL.” control icon is used to delete the character under the current cursor location in the TITLE EDIT box. Note: The “COPY” and “PASTE” control icons allow you to select the title from another EQ program and paste it into your program. These icons only copy the title.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 35 Routing This tutorial assumes you have a multitrack recorder and you have connected it to your Digital Recording Console 02R – after having one or more of the optional input/output cards installed: • Alesis ADAT (CD8-AT) – This single slot card supports an 8-channel ADAT compatible modular digital multitrack recorder. It provides eight input channels and eight output channels. You can insert as many as four of these cards in the 02R.
36 Introductory Recording Tutorial Using the ROUTING Display Function Similar to the equalization function, there are two ways of adjusting the routing for MIC/LINE 1. One method is to use the ROUTING display function. The more convenient method is to use the buttons of the ROUTING block of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 37 Selecting the Routing 1. Press the [ROUTING] button. ROUTING The ROUTING display function appears showing the selected routes for MIC/LINE 1. 2. Use the ROUTING buttons of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls to select the routes for MIC/LINE 1. As you press the ROUTING buttons, the LED inset in the button illuminates and the corresponding icon on the ROUTING display function screen changes to reverse video.
38 Introductory Recording Tutorial Panning Similar to the equalization and routing functions, there are two ways of adjusting the pan for MIC/LINE 1. One method is to use the PAN display function. The more convenient method is to use the buttons and controls of the PAN block of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls.
Introductory Recording Tutorial 39 2. Press the [SEL] button for MIC/LINE 1 and rotate the pan rotary encoder. The LED inset in the [L/ODD] button will be illuminated. The current pan position is indicated on the adjacent LED bargraph.

42 Secondary Recording Tutorial Auxiliary Send Channels The Digital Recording Console 02R has eight auxiliary send channels. AUX7 and AUX8 are used to feed the internal effects processors, with the signal remaining entirely in the digital domain. The other auxiliary sends – AUX1 through AUX6 – can be used to feed external signal processors and effects units, foldback amplifiers, or multitrack recording equipment.
Secondary Recording Tutorial 43 Setting the Auxiliary Send Level The following example shows setting the send level for MIC/LINE 1 to the first auxiliary channel, AUX1. 1. Press the [AUX 1] button. AUX 1 FADER STATUS INPUT AUX 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The AUX1 display function appears: The faders change from channel level controls to auxiliary send level controls. To indicate the change , the AUX LED of the FADER STATUS indicator will illuminate.
44 Secondary Recording Tutorial The PRE icon becomes the POST icon and is highlighted in reverse video when the signal is pre-fader. 4. To change the signal level, adjust the fader for MIC/LINE 1 until the desired value is obtained. You can use the rotary encoders for the tape returns or press the [FLIP] button. Then the tape return channels can be operated by the faders. The effect returns can only be adjusted with the rotary encoders.
Secondary Recording Tutorial 45 Creating a Monitor Mix The Digital Recording Console 02R has two different monitoring outputs – the control room outputs and the studio outputs – plus, of course, the PHONES output (which are a duplicate of the control room output).
46 Secondary Recording Tutorial Applying Effects The Digital Recording Console 02R features two internal multi-effects stereo processors: Effect1 and Effect2. These are fed by AUX7 and AUX8, and the processed signals are returned via EFF1 RTN and EFF2 RTN, respectively. When you use the internal effects, the signal gets processed without ever leaving the digital domain. Effects can be applied to input channels or the tape return channels. Effects are organized into programs.
Secondary Recording Tutorial 47 2. Select MIC/LINE 1 using the [SEL] buttons or the CURSOR buttons. Turn the auxiliary send on by pressing the [AUX 7] button and then the [ON] button in the AUX group of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls. 3. Press the [ENTER] button to change the auxiliary send from pre to post fader. Sends to the effects are usually post fader. This means the the signal level feed into the effects processor to follow the “dry” channel level. 4.
48 Secondary Recording Tutorial As the effect return signal is entirely digital, if CLIP is reached, you will experience digital clipping distortion. Note: In many cases, clipping in the effect return channel is caused by the send level being too high. You may need to adjust the send levels as well as the attenuation if you experience clipping. 3. Select the PAN icon with the CURSOR buttons and set the pan position using the encoder wheel.
Secondary Recording Tutorial 49 Recalling and Editing Effects Once you have applied effects to MIC/LINE 1, you need to know how to recall effects programs from the effects library and to adjust their parameters in order to create your own effect programs. Recalling Effects Programs 1. Press the [AUX 7] button until the Effect Edit screen appears: AUX 7 EFF1 The parameters of the currently selected effects program are displayed on this screen.

68 Mixing and Automation What is 02R Automation? There are three basic steps to making a multitrack recording: • Setup and initial tracks • Overdubbing • Mixdown Each step is vital in order to produce a satisfactory recording, but the most difficult one for most engineers is the mixdown. The musicians have finished their work. They have played their instruments and sung their vocals. All that raw material is stored on your multitrack recorder, waiting to be turned into a perfect final mix.
Mixing and Automation 69 Real-Time Automation These tutorials have assumed you are using your Digital Recording Console 02R with one or more of the optional I/O cards installed and a multitrack recorder connected. In this section, you will be synchronizing your multitrack recorder to the 02R.
70 Mixing and Automation 3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the desired “Frame” rate and press the [ENTER] button. The 02R supports four industry standard frame rates: • 30 – 30 frames per second. • 30D – 29.97 frames per second (30 drop frame). • 25 – 25 frames per second. • 24 – 24 frames per second. These frame rates apply to all three timecode sources: SMPTE, MTC, and the internal clock. 4. Select the “TC Input” with the CURSOR buttons and press the [ENTER] button.
Mixing and Automation 71 Creating a New Automix To record an entire mixing session with the Digital Recording Console 02R automation system, you must first create a new automix. When a new automix is created, the contents of the current automix (referred to as “events”) are deleted and the current automix is returned to its default settings. If you want to keep the contents of the current automix, store them into an available memory location before proceeding. 1. Press the [AUTOMIX] button again.
72 Mixing and Automation 4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the “NEW” control icon and press the [ENTER] button. The 02R will display a popup confirmation request message asking if you want to make a new automix. The popup has two control icons: “CANCEL” and “EXECUTE”: CANCEL is the default. To cancel the NEW operation, either press the [ENTER] button or wait about 10 seconds – the NEW operation will be automatically cancelled.

Mixing and Automation 75 6. When you have completed recording the automix session, use the CURSOR buttons to select the “STOP” icon and press the [ENTER] button. You may find it faster and more convenient to stop the automix recording session by stopping the device that is providing the timecode. In this case, the effect is the same as if you selected the STOP function on the 02R: The “RECORD” icon will change to normal video and the “STOP” icon will be illuminated in reverse video.
76 Mixing and Automation Editing Automation Events Overwriting Events You can overwrite the events that have been recorded into the current automix. You can alter events on an already recorded channel or you can record new events onto another channel. For example, you may first record the faders for the rhythm section to the automix and then overwrite the fader operations for the lead parts and vocals. 1. If required, press the [AUTOMIX] button repeatedly to get to the “Main” screen.
Mixing and Automation 77 5. Start the device that is providing the timecode. It should have been rewound and again start from a location before the music starts. The previously recorded automix will playback. 6. While monitoring the recording, adjust the parameters you want to overwrite. 7. When you have completed the automix overwriting session, use the CURSOR buttons to select the “STOP” icon and press the [ENTER] button.
78 Mixing and Automation 5. Monitor the recording. At the punch-in location, press the [SEL] buttons for the tape return channels you want to fix. Recording will begin from the location where you pressed the [SEL] button. Note: From this point, new events will be recorded and previously existing events will be deleted. 6. While monitoring the recording, adjust the parameters you want to fix. 7. When you have finished adjusting the parameters, press the [SEL] buttons again.
Mixing and Automation 79 3. Press the [AUTOMIX] button several times. You can stop when the “Fader Edit” screen appears: This display allows you to watch the fader movements as dynamic bargraphs.

For scene memory recall, this field is blank. 3. Rotate the encoder wheel to change the value at the current cursor location. For timecode, you can independently adjust the hours, minutes, seconds, and frames values. 4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the INSERT icon and press the [ENTER] button to insert an event.
Mixing and Automation 83 This display consists of a table listing Time Code, Channel, and ON/OFF of the channel on/off events recorded into the current automix. It also has two control icons which allow you to insert (INSERT) or delete (DELETE) events. 2. Use the CURSOR buttons to select an event to edit. The CURSOR buttons allow you to select the individual events (the selected event is called the “current event”) and to move across the table entry for each event.
84 Mixing and Automation Deleting Events You can delete specific events that have been recorded into the current automix. You can select a timecode range, the channels desired, and the specific events you want to delete. 1. Press the [AUTOMIX] button again. AUTOMIX You can stop when the “Event Extract” screen appears: 2. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the channel or channels to delete. You can also use the [SEL] buttons to select channels.
Mixing and Automation 85 4. Select the “Parameters” to delete with the CURSOR buttons and press the [ENTER] button to switch a parameter on or off. You can select one or more parameters to delete from the following: • LEVEL – fader/encoder events, controlling the input level of a channel. • CH ON – channel on/off events. • PAN – pan operation events of a channel. • EQ – equalization operation events of a channel.
86 Mixing and Automation Using the AUTOMIX Library Storing an Automix The Digital Recording Console 02R has 16 automix program locations (1 through 16) for you to store the current automix.

18 User Interface About the User Interface Digital Recording Console 02R user interface is powerful but very intuitive. There are two main methods of working with the 02R: • Use the DISPLAY ACCESS controls to modify one parameter at a time across the entire recording console. • Use the SELECTED CHANNEL controls to modify all of the parameters of the currently selected channel. You will find these controls similar to the setup of an analog mixer. Use whichever method is most convenient to you.
User Interface 19 • The [DIGITAL I/O] button is used to select the word clock source, define the digital input/output connectors, control the cascade configuration, and set the word dither. • The [SETUP] button is used to control the solo function and defines system preferences. • The [UTILITY] button is used to set the oscillator function and check the battery, emphasis, and channel status monitors. • The [AUTOMIX] button is used to set and control the automation parameters.
20 User Interface However, these two sends are routed to the internal effects unit. Therefore, the buttons also allow you to select and set the effects parameters. Display The large backlit 320 × 240 pixel graphical display screen provides clear indication of mix settings and operating status. As well as showing parameter values numerically, faders and rotary controls are represented graphically, so you can actually see pan positions and fader positions.
User Interface 21 The CURSOR buttons are also used to position the cursor in a name when naming automation mixes, scene memories, equalizer programs, effects programs, dynamics programs, and channel library programs. When a display left or right icon appears at the left or right side of the display, indicating that another display page is available, the CURSOR buttons are used to select that display. Encoder Wheel The encoder wheel is used to adjust the parameter selected using the CURSOR buttons.
22 User Interface Display Functions The following table lists all the Digital Recording Console 02R display functions and briefly explains what they do. Display Function Digital Recording Console 02R Description SCENE Store and recall mix scenes. DIGITAL I/O Sets digital I/O parameters and selects word clock. SETUP Sets the solo parameters and system preferences. UTILITY Controls the oscillator parameters and accesses the emphasis monitor, the channel status monitor, and the battery level check.
User Interface 23 SELECTED CHANNEL Controls These controls are very similar in setup to the controls of an analog mixer. You may find working with the buttons and controls of this section of the 02R is much faster and more intuitive than working through the screens of the DISPLAY ACCESS functions. ROUTING buttons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ST DIRECT ROUTING The routing buttons allow you to directly select the destination for the selected channel.
24 User Interface PAN controls L/ODD L ODD R/EVEN R EVEN PAN These controls allow you to select the pan position of the selected channel. The buttons select one of two channels (channels are always paired for the pan function). Use the rotary encoder to adjust the pan position. The current position is indicated on the adjacent LED bargraph. Note: You can customize your 02R so that when you adjust any of the controls in this group, the display switches to the PAN display function.

26 Mixing and Monitoring Analog Inputs The Digital Recording Console 02R is equipped with 24 individual analog input connectors. The first sixteen channels, 1 through 16, are monophonic input channels designed for microphone to line level signal inputs. The last eight channels, 17 through 24, are stereo pairs designed for line level signals only.
Mixing and Monitoring 27 Pad 20dB The Pad function attenuates input signals by 20 dB. This is useful when inputting high level signals that would otherwise overload the input preamplifier. By increasing the effective range of the GAIN control, high-level signals can be adjusted accurately. Pad can be set individually for the mono input channels 1 through 16. The [20dB] (pad) switch at the top of each channel is used to turn it ON and OFF: up for OFF, down for ON.
28 Mixing and Monitoring ON Buttons ON The [ON] buttons are used to turn channels on and off. The input channel, tape return channel, effect return channel, and stereo output [ON] buttons turn their respective channels on and off. When a channel is turned on, the LED set in the corresponding button lights up. When it is turned off, the LED goes off. Stereo-pair channels are turned on and off together. Faders 10 0 5 5 0 5 10 15 The 02R’s faders are motorized.
Mixing and Monitoring 29 Analog Outputs L R L R The Digital Recording Console 02R is equipped with a pair of analog stereo out connectors, one pair XLR-type for connecting to professional equipment, the other phono (RCA) jacks. There are also two pairs of phone jacks to provide a stereo output to your control room and studio monitoring systems.
30 Mixing and Monitoring SOLO Button You can monitor input channels in isolation by pressing the [SOLO] button. The LEDs in the centre of the selected channel [ON] buttons are extinguished. You select the channel(s) you want to solo by pressing the corresponding [ON] button. When you press the [SOLO] button again, the originally selected LEDs are illuminated again.

62 Dynamics Dynamics Processors Dynamics processors are generally used to correct or control signal levels. However, you can also use them creatively to shape the volume envelope of a sound. The Digital Recording Console 02R features comprehensive dynamics processors for all the input channels, tape returns, and the bus and stereo outputs.
Dynamics 63 Compressor dB +20 Compression ratio = 2:1 +10 A compressor provides a form of automatic level control. By attenuating high levels, thus effectively reducing the dynamic range, the compressor makes it much easier to control signals and set appropriate fader levels. Reducing the dynamic range also means that recording levels can be set higher, therefore improving the signal-to-noise performance.
64 Dynamics Knee sets the transition of the signal at the threshold. With a hard knee, the transition between uncompressed and compressed signal is immediate. With the softest knee, knee5, the transition starts before the signal reaches the threshold and gradually ends above the threshold. Release determines how soon the compressor returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold.
Dynamics 65 Expander dB +20 Expansion ratio = 2:1 +10 0 Knee = hard Output Level -10 Threshold = -10dB -20 -30 An expander is another form of automatic level control. By attenuating the signal below the threshold, the expander reduces low-level noise and effectively increases the dynamic range of the recorded material. -40 -50 Expander (EXP) parameters: -60 -70 dB -70 -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 Input Level 0 +10 Parameter +20 dB Threshold (dB) –54 to 0 Ratio 1.0, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.
66 Dynamics Compander dB +20 A compander is a compressor-expander - a combination of signal compression and expansion. The compander attenuates the input signal above the threshold as well as the level below the width. For very dynamic material, this program allows you to retain the dynamic range without having to be concerned with excessive output signal levels and clipping.
Dynamics 67 Gate and Ducking dB +20 +10 0 A gate, or noise gate is an audio switch used to mute signals below a set threshold level. It can be used to suppress background noise and hiss from valve (tube) amps, effects pedals, and microphones.
68 Dynamics For ducking, this controls how soon the signal is ducked once the duck has been triggered. With a fast attack time, the signal is ducked almost immediately. With a slow attack time, ducking fades the signal. Too fast an attack time may sound abrupt. Hold sets how long the gate stays open or the ducking remains active once the trigger signal has fallen below the threshold level. Decay controls how fast the gate closes once the hold time has expired.
Dynamics 69 DYNAMICS Display Function 1. Press the [DYNAMICS] button. DYNAMICS The DYNAMICS display function appears. 2. Select a channel using the [SEL] buttons. Dynamics can be applied to the input channels (MIC/LINE 1 through 16, LINE 17/18 through 23/24), the tape return channels (TAPE 1 through 16), the internal bus outputs (BUS 1 through 8), and the stereo output. For stereo channels when the link is on, the dynamics processor is applied equally to both channels.
70 Dynamics Patching in a Processor 1. To turn the dynamics processor on, use the CURSOR buttons to select the DYNAMICS icon and press the [ENTER] button. The icon changes from OFF to ON and is highlighted in reverse video. 2. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the KEY IN prompt and rotate the encoder wheel or press the [ENTER] button to select a trigger source. 3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the ST.LINK prompt and rotate the encoder wheel or press the [ENTER] button to turn the stereo link on or off.
Dynamics 71 Dynamics Processor Meters The amount of processor gain reduction (GR) and the output signal levels are metered on the DYNAMICS display function, as shown below: Gain reduction is the amount by which a signal’s level is reduced. The output signal levels are conventional level meters which work from bottom-to-top. The GR level meter is inverted and works from top-to-bottom.
72 Dynamics KEY IN and LINK Indicators The channel KEY IN settings and LINK settings are shown below. The settings can be changed with the CURSOR buttons, and the encoder wheel, or the [ENTER] button. The following table shows the meaning of the KEY IN icons: Icon Meaning SELF - POST EQ - the trigger is taken from the current channel after the equalization. SELF - PRE EQ - the trigger is taken from the current channel before equalization.

84 Auxiliary Channels About the 02R Auxiliaries The Digital Recording Console 02R has eight auxiliary send channels: AUX1, AUX2, AUX3, AUX4, AUX5, AUX6, AUX7, and AUX8. The auxiliary sends can be configured pre-fader or post-fader. AUX7 and AUX8 are used to feed the internal effects processors: Effect1 and Effect2. EFF1 RTN and EFF2 RTN are used to return the processed signals. Refer to “Internal Effects” on page 89 of the User’s Guide for further details.
Auxiliary Channels 85 The AUX Buttons 1. Press the [AUX 1] button. The AUX functions for AUX 1 through AUX 6 set the channel send levels to each of the auxiliary buses. With this function, you can select an auxiliary bus and then set the levels of a group of input channels simultaneously. You can also select whether to send the signal pre or post fader. AUX 1 The AUX 1 display function appears. 2. Select a channel using the [SEL] buttons or the CURSOR buttons. 3.
86 Auxiliary Channels Select a channel with the [SEL] buttons. Select the auxiliary bus with the [AUX1] through [AUX8/EFF2] buttons. Turn the send on or off with the [ON] button. Adjust the send level with the SEND LEVEL encoder. SEND LEVEL Display Screens There are two screens in the AUX display functions. Shown below is the first – MIC/LINE 1 through 16 and LINE 17/18 through 23/24: Select this screen by pressing a SEL button for one of the MIC/LINE channels.
Auxiliary Channels 87 Stereo Input Channels Input channels 1 through 16 handle only a single signal. The stereo input channels 17 through 24, are paired together and handle two signals: left and right. Before feeding a stereo input signal to the auxiliary level controls, the left and right signals are summed to form a mono L+R mix. AUX [ON] Button The auxiliary sends can be turned on or off for quick A-B comparisons by using the [ON] button in the AUX group of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls.
88 Auxiliary Channels POST – the auxiliary send signal is sourced after the channel fader. This means that the signal is controlled by the channel fader as well as the send level. In order to send a signal to the auxiliary bus, you must have that fader raised as well. This enables the channel-to-mix and channel-to-effects signal levels to be controlled together, with the former supplying the dry, unaffected signal and the latter supplying the wet, affected signal.

124 Automation What is the Automation Function? One of the most demanding jobs of the recording engineer is taking all the raw material produced during a multitrack recording session and mixing it all together into an artistically satisfying master recording. The ability to setup portions of the mix and then have them playback automatically as you work on other portions is probably the most important feature of any digital recording studio.
Automation 125 yourself running out of memory, you can download unused AUTOMIX memories to a storage device, such as a MIDI data filer, then clear the memories. You can also expand the available memory with 1Mbyte expansion kits (ME4M). You can install up to two of these kits in the 02R, resulting in a maximum memory size of 2.5Mbytes. What is the Current Buffer? The only automix program that can be recorded or played back is the current AUTOMIX buffer.
126 Automation What is Timecode? Timecode is a signal that contains a chronological record of the absolute time in a recording. It is used for synchronizing different recorders. It can be used for electronic editing. Timecode was initially invented for the motion picture business, as a method of synchronizing the pictures recorded in the frames of a camera to the sound recorded on tape recorder.
Automation 127 If the connected device does not have a dedicated SMPTE output connector, record the timecode onto a spare track (in the case of a multitrack recorder) or a special track (in the case of a video recorder or film post-production recorder) and connect the output from that track to the timecode input connector on the 02R.

Glossary 15 225 Glossary A/D converter – The conversion of analog signals into digital signals. The analog signal is sampled every few milliseconds and its level is quantized into a digital word. The larger the digital word, the more accurate the representation of the analog value. See Quantization and Sampling frequency. The 02R uses 20-bit linear analog-to-digital converters for most of its analog inputs.
226 Glossary Bit – A single unit of digital data. It can have a value of 1 or 0. Bulk Dump – A MIDI function that allow the transfer of system specific data, such as sample files or mixer settings, between MIDI capable devices. The data are transmitted as MIDI System Exclusive messages. Bus – A circuit that connects the input or tape and effect return signals with the output connectors. The 02R has eight output buses plus the stereo output.
Glossary 227 Dither – Dithering is a mathematical process where a random noise is added to the least significant bit of a digital word. With very low level signals, the quantization error becomes correlated to the signal level. This creates a measurable amount of distortion. By adding dither, the correlation between the signal level and the quantization error is cancelled, allowing the digital system to encode amplitudes smaller than the least significant bit.
228 Glossary Expander – An expander is another form of automatic level control. By attenuating the signal below the threshold, the expander reduces low-level noise or expands the dynamic range of the recorded material. See Dynamics Processor F (frequency) – The center frequency of an equalizer band. See Equalizer. Fader calibration – The motorized faders occasionally require re-calibration in order to maintain the highest performance possible. G (gain) – The signal gain of an equalizer band. See Equalizer.
Glossary 229 Modulation – Using a low frequency oscillator (LFO) to control a signal’s frequency (pitch) or amplitude (level). The internal effects programs use modulation for a number of their programs. See Internal Effects. Nyquist Sampling Theorem – This theorem defines the process of sampling audio with a digital system. Amongst other things, it states that the sampling frequency of a digital audio system must be at least twice that of the highest audio frequency, otherwise aliasing will occur.
230 Glossary Routing – The process of assigning input or tape and effect returns to the output buses or the stereo bus. Sampling frequency – The rate at which measurements of an audio signal are taken during A/D and D/A conversion. Once in the digital domain, the data usually remains at the same sampling frequency. The measure is samples per second. Scene Memory – The 02R scene memories are a memory location used to store a snapshot of virtually all the digital parameters of the mixer.
