Recording From a CD
The default setting of the VS-1824 does not permit recording
the output of CD players using the DIGITAL IN connector. If
you want to record from a CD using the DIGITAL IN
connection, use the following procedure. You will only need
to perform this procedure one time to enable the VS-1824 to
record digital signals from CD players.
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (System)].
The System icon appears in the display. If the System
menu icon does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].
2. Press [F2 (GLOBL)].
If “GLOBL” does not appear in the display above [F2],
press [PAGE] until it appears, then press [F2 (GLOBL)].
3. Use [ ], [ ], [ ] and [ ] to move the
cursor to “CD Digital Record.”
4. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select “On.”
5. A message concerning copyright appears in the display.
After reading this message, press [ENTER/YES]. The
same message appears in the back cover of this Manual.
6. A message concerning Licensing Conditions is displayed.
After reading this message, press [ENTER/YES]. This
message appears in the back cover of this manual. From
now on, you can make digital connections and recordings
from CD players. If you do not agree to the conditions,
press [EXIT/NO]. If you press [EXIT/NO], you will not
be able to make any digital connections from CD players.
7. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
You will now be able to record a CD from the digital
input (see p. 66 for details on recording from a digital
source).
Using the Metronome
The VS-1824 features a built-in metronome that will provide
a click track at any tempo you specify. By listening to the
click track as you record your instrument, you’ll be able to
record your performance with more accuracy. Recording
using a click track also allows song editing to be done by
measure and beat. The metronome tempo can be controlled
by the tempo map or sync track MIDI clock. When using this
feature, set up the tempo map (p. 202) or sync track (p. 200)
beforehand. When you create a new song, the tempo map
defaults to a 4/4 rhythm and a tempo of 120.
Turn On the Metronome
1. The metronome is output from both the MONITOR jacks
and the PHONES jack. Connect your playback audio
equipment to the MONITOR jacks.
2. Hold [SHIFT] and press [EXT SYNC].
The Sync/Tempo screen appears in the display.
