MiniDiscs 48 kHz for some professional recording applications and 88 2 kHz and 96 kHz for professional record ing mastering and DVD Digital Versatile Disk applications Since all devices in a dig ital audio system must be synchronized to acommon wordclock the sampling rate will be the same for each device So if the D24 is wordclock master and is running at 48 kHz when you mix down to DAT for example via a digital connection from the mixing con sole the DAT recording will also be at 48 kHz If you intend to burn your own CDs for example it s best to use 44 1 kHz the standard for music CDs If you intend to deliver your project to a third party a mastering studio for example consult them and agree on a sampling rate before you start recording on the D24 Although it s possible to convert between sampling rates using third party sample rate converters choosing the correct sampling rate in the first place is the best way to avoid this additional process When the Varispeed function is used the sampling rate also changes See Using Varispeed on page 55 for more information D24 Owner s Manual 126 Chapter 11 Wordclocks Wordclock System Examples The following system examples show several wordclock configurations Timecode con nections are not shown Basic Recording System In the following two examples a single D24 is used in conjunction with a digital mixing console and DAT deck In the first example d
