Alesis ADAT HD24 Hard Disk Recorder - FEARSOME TECHNOLOGY! | Studio Tour Ep.1

The Alesis ADAT HD24 Digital Recorder replaces the 2" Tape Reel-to-Reel Tape Machines of traditional recording studios. High performance and mission-critical reliability, it appears on a computer network as a NAS device to transfer .WAV files over the network to your DAW.

I am SO GLAD to see this being used.

[@resynthesizer4565]

That sure is a neat piece of gear. My Fostex DMT-8 is only 8 tracks, but has an analog mixer built in. Getting my ADATs ready to go, though. I do have the Alesis CD recorder for mastering.

seen this on friday night, strait on reverb and snagged one for £300 posted, it's just arrived. Cool video.

[@JohnnySaskatchewanandtheNoShit]

Wow! Hope you find it as useful and cool as I do. Thanks for watching!

[@raynaldomartine]

VERY Cool!!!!! I'm still a fan of on screen editing, and the stability of SSD storage than the older hard disks, but I love to see these still in use! I'm in So. California, and there is a studio in town that is doing 32 track 2" tape!!! Thank you for posting this, very cool to watch!

[@JohnnySaskatchewanandtheNoShit]

Thanks, Raynaldo! You have great taste!!!!

[@newhefner6212]

You absolutely can replace existing storage and use SSD with an adapter. Even swap out the loud fan w/ a Silent 8.

they are great - we've got about 6 of them for sale too! (UK)

Nice review, can you bounce a stereo track as a master mix in the HD24? I would not like to use the computer for processing the tracks, what would be he use of the analog gear then?

[@MikeRP3147]

Can you make a video on how to setup the ethernet file transfer on a modern mac/pc? Thanks

[@lifetunes767]

Could you share a video of how to use the ethernet?

[@jozacmusic8632]

Hey i see you an Euro Desk What Model- Is it the MX2442A Or Which One

[@mathewworkman1625]

I want one.

[@nickking8317]

I want one bur need a 32 channel and I'm behind coz of my console repairs and restoration

[@monsirto]

Sold mine, regret it.

[@adgjk1]

Have you made any mods to this, like a quieter fan or upgrading to SSD storage?

[@JohnnySaskatchewanandtheNoShit]

Nope. Stock all the way, baby - meets my needs. I don't record in my control room, but even so, I've never noticed much fan noise etc.

[@user-gf9py4ky1s]

Hey man, I see that you love the Hd24. I just got one and it works. The end numbers of the serial number tag is missing. I was womdering if you jnew a way to check the model fir like bit ratio. The early models had 16. Later it was 24bit. Thought it would be accessable in memory of machine.

[@JohnnySaskatchewanandtheNoShit]

The HD24 is at least 24-bit if not more. I know it can do 96kHz, but I never use that.

[@user-gf9py4ky1s]

@@JohnnySaskatchewanandtheNoShit thanks buddy!

[@javixux7845]

Is anyone interested in a HD 24 with SSD for 500€ and a HD24XR with two HDD for 800€? Both with fireport unused and almost in perfect condition, I could put it for sale on ebay or reverb if anyone is interested.
