Description

Hardly used it in the time i've had it, but i've tested it and it is in perfect condition both cosmetic and functional. It comes with all relevent cables including power, a blank 8-track tape and the user's manual is also included. It's been well maintained and before me it was bought new by a professional recording artist. The information below was obtained directly from Alesis website: Alesis revolutionized the concept of the home recording studio when they introduced the 8-Track Digital Multitrack Recorder, the ADAT. The XT offererd a number of major improvements over the earlier model. The most noticeable at first glance is the XT's professional-looking, custom-designed, brushed aluminum chassis - a significant cosmetic advance over the original machine. The XT's transport mechanism is significantly faster than its predecessor. Its advanced transport software continuously monitors autolocation performance, and the head constantly reads ADAT's built-in sample-accurate time code, even in fast wind mode. The result is faster search and lock times so your creativity doesn't get put on hold while you wait for your tape to rewind or fast-forward. Yet despite the speed increases, ADAT XT's intelligent transport handles your tapes with care via new Dynamic Braking software controls. The XT's advanced editing features which can be accessed directly from the front panel, so you can make flawless copy/paste edits between machines or even within a single unit. The new Track Copy feature allows you to make a digital clone of any track (or group of tracks) and copy it to any other track (or tracks) on the same recorder. This feature lets you assemble composite tracks for digital editing: Record six "takes" of a guitar solo on separate tracks, then choose the best sections from each track and use Track Copy to digitally build a single new track from the selected sections. There's also an on-board 10 point autolocator system with auto-play, auto return and auto-record subsystems. Auto record is so accurate that it lets you automate punch-ins/punch-outs that are accurate to 1/1000th of a second - a heck of a lot faster than you or I could do it manually. A Rehearse mode lets you enter and exit record modes without actually laying down tracks to tape. The vacuum fluorescent display lets you monitor your record/playback levels (with three modes of peak display), set selectable absolute and relative tape counter time, and view complete status information on the unit's many sophisticated functions. The ADAT Multichannel Optical Digital Interface, as well as the ADAT Synchronization Interface, lets you easily link the ADAT XT up to any existing ADATs, as well as the Fostex RD-8 and any other ADAT-compatible units.
