[. . . ] MicroTrack 24/96 Professional 2-Channel Mobile Digital Recorder User Guide MicroTrack 24/96 User Guide English 1 - Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96. The MicroTrack 24/96 is a portable recorder that can record stereo audio signals directly to CompactFlash media in either WAV or MP3 format. The MicroTrack 24/96 can be connected to a computer via the USB connection to transfer audio files. The USB port is also used to recharge the internal battery of the MicroTrack 24/96. [. . . ] Because of this, formatting can be used as a quick way to delete all files on the CompactFlash media. When you first enter this menu option, the screen will read "Format media?" 2. You'll then see a message that says "Are you sure?" This is your last chance to cancel the process if you do not want to format (press [MENU] to exit). During the formatting process, "Formatting" will be shown on the MicroTrack 24/96 display. "Media formatted" will be shown once the formatting process is finished. When this option is set to on, the recording levels of inputs L and R will be matched. If you use the left or right [LEVEL] buttons to adjust the record level of one of the inputs, the other input will automatically be matched to the same level. This is especially useful when making stereo recordings as this setting will preserve the stereo image. When this option is turned off, the input levels of the channels will become independent. 4) Playback EQ This menu provides access to the six EQ curves built into the MicroTrack 24/96. These curves affect playback only--all recordings are made without EQ. To activate an EQ preset, use the [NAV] wheel to select the curve, then press in to activate it. Bass and Treble Boost: Increases both the low and high frequencies during playback. 5) Scrub Audio Menu In a future firmware update, this is an on/off setting will allow you to hear audio as you rewind and fast-forward through an audio file. When set to on, you will be able to hear bits of the file as you seek. 6) Verify Delete This is a simple on/off menu preference that enables or disables the delete confirmation message. When this feature is on, you will be asked to confirm a file delete any time you press the [DEL] key. When this feature is off, files will be deleted as soon as the [DEL] button is pressed. 7) Auto Off When the MicroTrack 24/96 is running on battery power, it can automatically turn off if it is idle for a given period of time. Any button presses are considered activity, resetting the Auto-Off countdown.
