Chapter 3: Recording Applications

Recording From A Digital Source

Recording from a digital source into the VS-880 is very similar to recording an analog source. The only

major difference is the need for the VS-880’s sample clock to be locked to the incoming digital signal.

Connect your digital source, probably a DAT machine, to the Digital input of the VS-880. You will then

need to select the track you wish to record, select the digital input as the source for recording, and finally

record the digital audio into the VS-880.

The sample rate of the VS-880 must match the sample rate of the connected digital

source. Remember, the proper sample rate must be set when a new VS-880 song is

created if you want to use the digital input.

ACTION: Recording From A Digital Source

1. Connect the digital S/PDIF output of your digital source to the digital input of the VS-880.

2. Turn on the power of the digital source (the power can be on while the digital connection is

made). It must be on in order for the VS-880 to “see” that there is a digital clock connected to

its digital input.

3. Press the [SYSTEM] button repeatedly until SYSTEM PRM appears.

4. Press [YES].

5. Using the TIME/VALUE dial, set: “MasterClk = Digitl”.

6. Select mixer INPUT>TRACK mode ([SHIFT] + [SELECT]).

7. Hold [SHIFT] and press [INPUT BUSS] (CH EDIT 1).

8. Press the [CH EDIT] button of the track you want to record to.

9. Set the input to DIGITAL-L (if you are recording a stereo signal, select another track and set

it’s input to DIGITAL-R).

10. Press the [STATUS] button for the track(s) that you selected until the LED’s flash red (record

mode).

11. Press [REC] followed by [PLAY].

12. Start sending audio from your digital source.
