Basic recording
After you finish preparing a recording media and connecting a mixer, you can start basic recording using the
D-108.
D-108.
Initial settings
You need to reset all the controls on the D-108 to their initial settings according to the controls and switches
on the mixer before you proceed to the next step. This procedure is called “Initialize” in this Guide and in the
User’s Guide. The buttons and switches on the D-108 should be reset as shown below. Remember to
“initialize the D-108” before you start a new session.

Setting sampling frequency
You can select a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz or 48kHz on the D-108. The sampling frequency setting does
not affect sound quality too much if you are using only analog signals. However, it becomes important if you
transfer digital signals to and from an external digital device. For example, when you make a digital recording
from a CD player, you need to set the D-108’s sampling frequency to 44.1kHz since the CD’s sampling
frequency is 44.1kHz. If you use adat digital signals of 48kHz, you need to set the D-108’s sampling frequency
to 48kHz.
In this way, set the sampling frequency to match that of the digital signals to be recorded. The default setting
of the sampling frequency (right after formatting or selecting a new Program) is “44.1kHz.”
If you use this setting, you do not need to perform the steps described on the next page. You can check the
current sampling frequency on the display.
