Yamaha D24 MODisk-based High-resolution Digital Multitracker Reviews : Multitrack Recorder The eight-track digital recorder has become a standard building block at virtually every level of the recording industry, and a wide range of tape and hard disk-based devices is available. Now Yamaha have extended the choice with a machine built around a 640Mb magneto-optical drive.Hugh Robjohns takes it for a spin... The concept of the Modular Digital Multitrack or MDM has been widely adopted across the professional and semi-pro recording industry. It all started back in the early 1990s with Tascam's DTRS and Alesis's ADAT formats. DTRS has become the mainstay within professional circles whereas ADAT reigns supreme in the MI business, and both formats have been adopted by other manufacturers -- Sony in the case of DTRS and Studer for ADAT. Both of the original systems have also seen upgrades to higher resolutions recently. However, ADAT and DTRS are far from being the only MDM formats on the market. It seems that virtually every significant pro audio manufacturer has something similar to offer, and many are based around hard-disk formats rather than tapes -- for example, the DAR, Genex and Akai systems, to name just three. Yamaha have recently joined this competitive marketplace with their own contribution, the D24 Digital Multitrack Recorder. MO Moves This latest eight-track MDM introduces yet another new recording format, the removable 640Mb magneto-optical (MO) disk, and uses a completely proprietary disk structure.

Configurable and expandable.
Suitable for a wide range of applications.
High sound quality.
Fast and efficient to use.

summary
An elegant and well-designed multitrack digital recorder with an excellent range of facilities and features, the D24 can be used in a wide variety of applications and it appears Yamaha that have thought of every eventuality!
capacity of the current MO disk will significantly restrict the applications to which the D24 is suited -- at least in its intended form. However, Yamaha have equipped their new machine with a great deal of flexibility, enabling it to be used in many different ways and across a range of disciplines, including project-studio music recording and certain audio-for-video applications. Like all disk-based recorders, the D24 offers instant random access to any point within the recorded material, and recordings are organised into projects which may be titled for easier recognition. The audio recording format is uncompressed with 16-, 20- and 24-bit resolutions and 44.1/48kHz or 88.2/96kHz sample rates. Both standard MO disks and the more recent Direct Overwrite disks are supported (see box): Direct Overwrite MO disks provide eight-track recording at 44.1/48kHz across all bit resolutions, and four tracks at 88.2/96kHz. Standard MO disks, by contrast, provide only six tracks at 20- or 24-bit resolutions, dropping to three tracks at elevated sample rates! A 640Mb Direct Overwrite disk allows 15 minutes of eight-track recording at 16-bit/44.1kHz, decreasing to 10 minutes for 24-bit/44.1kHz and nine minutes for 24-bit/48kHz. For the ultimate in fidelity, four tracks of 24-bit/96kHz will also last nine minutes. Up to 99 projects can be recorded per disk, with sample rate and bit resolution established on a per-project basis. The limited capacity of current MO disks inherently restricts the applications in which the
