Operating Instructions DigiCart/II Plus Owner's Manual
The clock will begin counting upward or if you are using THRESHOLD RECORD, the
display will show:
TRIGGER-XX DB
NEW_000 00:00:00
DigiCart/II Plus is now waiting for incoming audio at or above -XX dB. Recording will begin
instantly when this level is reached. Depending on the type of material you are using, you may use
SETUP MENU commands to adjust the Trigger THRESHOLD level in 6 dB steps from -60 to -6
dB. When switched to OFF, recording will begin when you press PLAY. The display will show
“Recording”.
4. Press the STOP button when finished recording or press the PAUSE button if you
wish to add other material to the cut. After stopping, the display will show:
1.0000 NEW_000
HH:MM:SS 48K AC-2
5. Press the PAUSE button again to resume recording.
NOTE: Spaces between items recorded using PAUSE cannot be edited. However, separate cuts
may be played back-to-back seamlessly.
The automatic cut identification system of DigiCart/II Plus is designed to speed things up in a fast-
paced production setting. To audition a newly recorded cut, you can press the
PLAY button
immediately after recording it (without having to rewind as you would with an analog recorder) or
press the
RECORD button and DigiCart/II Plus will immediately begin to allocate space for
another recording.
Your first recording will be given the lowest available index number and named NEW_000.
Repeat the process and record another cut. This will become ID number and named NEW_001.
NOTE: Automatic numerical cut names increment independently of ID numbers. The two may not
match. Details for renaming cuts will be found under CHANGE NAME later in this Chapter. It is
helpful to jot down the five-character identifier near the name of the source cut on the tape log or
track sheet. Later you will probably want to use the CHANGE NAME function of the UTILITY
MENU to add the name of the cut to DigiCart/II Plus's display.
