There! You’re all boned up on the HDR24/96, so put down this booklet and get to
work ... or play. Thanks for reading this guide. If questions have gone
unanswered, check the Applications and Reference Manuals or Mackie’s website
www.mackie.com. Enjoy!

1. Select Set Active Drive from the File menu.
2. Select External.
3. Select Format Drive from the File menu and click OK in
the Format Drive confirmation dialog box.
4. When the format operation has completed, another
message will appear asking you to verify the drive speed
for recording and playback. If a UDMA drive is installed,
select OK. After the performance verification is completed,
select Continue. If a Mackie Media PROJECT drive is
installed, select Cancel; they are too slow to be used for
recording and playback. NOTE: You cannot format the
internal drive.
Some UDMA drives cannot keep up with the demand for 24 tracks of audio data.
So, before you rush to your local computer store and buy the cheapest UDMA
drive you can find, consider picking up some Mackie Media drives from your
nearest Mackie dealer instead (nudge nudge, say no more…). If you still insist on
the do-it-yourself route, check Mackie’s web site for a list of approved drives.
