03D with Akai DR8
This application shows how the 03D can be used with an Akai DR8 Hard Disk Recorder to
create an 18-input, 8-track digital recording system. The eight digital tape returns and 18
Mic/Line inputs provide up to 26 inputs at mixdown. In addition, the 03D’s built-in
automix and scene memories provide both dynamic and static mix automation referenced
to timecode.
Connections
The ADAT (CD8-AT) card must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out
after installation as the card will not be grounded correctly.
The DR8 is fitted with an optional ADAT (IB-804A) interface card and MIDI (IB803M)
interface card.
YGDAI digital outputs can be configured as bus outs, aux sends, input channel direct
outs, or stereo outs. So although the 03D is a four-bus mixer, assigning the four buses
and four aux sends, or the channel direct outs, to the YGDAI outputs allows eight-track
simultaneous recording. YGDAI output assignments are made on the D.out Setup page,
which can be located using the [DIO] button.
YGDAI digital inputs feed 03D input channels 17 through 24.
The Digital In/Out connectors on the 03D and DR8 are connected together using
Optical Cables.
03D Wordclock Setup
The 03D works as a wordclock slave. Any pair of YGDAI digital inputs can be selected as the
wordclock source. Use the [DIO] button to locate the D.in Setup page for wordclock
settings.
DR8 Wordclock Setup
The DR8 works as wordclock master.
Notes
When a track is armed for recording, the DR8 will normally try to take its wordclock
source from that track’s input. To prevent this, in the Digi submenu set Auto Sync to Off.
Note that the Auto Sync setting is not memorized when the DR8 is turned off, although
it can be stored as part of a project.
