TRACK SELECT
Use the Track Select buttons to select which track�s virtual take and meter information is shown in the Take and Meter displays; the selected track is shown in the Track Number display.
Auto Take
Auto Take automatically advances the Take Number of all armed tracks at the start of each record pass. When a track�s Take number reaches 8, it remains there until you change it. Tip: Use Loop and Punch with Auto Take to automatically record up to eight takes per track.
Meter
The Meter displays the selected track�s input or playback level. On the Remote 24 and HDR24/96 meters, 0 dB represents �full scale�, with no headroom to spare. Before recording, set the input level from your console as hot as possible.
Audio levels must NEVER reach 0 dBFS�.. ever!
