The SADiE PCM-H64 system is a multitrack digital recorder which also benefits from the full range of SADiE editing and processing features which comprise SADiE 5.6 software.

The PCM-H64 can slot seamlessly into a range of traditional analogue or digital studios, with modular I/O available in multiples of 16 channels up to 64 in 64 out.

Two different software interfaces are available according to the intended use: firstly, the MTR (MultiTrack Recorder) software is a streamlined, one-window interface which offers quick and easy control over stream and stem record enabling, locating, and drop in/out; secondly, the full SADiE 5 workstation software is available for more complex mixing, editing, processing, and post-production sessions.

Location recording using MTR software
For taking a multitrack recorder to a venue equipped with a digital desk, a PCM-H64 MADI system is the most compact and easily-rigged option. Offering 64 channels of MADI (and MADI-X) recording in a 4U rack, it is easily connected to the console and can record audio directly to the required format, whether WAV, AIFF or SDII, using primary and mirrored secondary disks. So whether you’re delivering the recording for post-production by SADiE, ProTools, Fairlight or any other workstation, as soon as the show is over, the audio drives may be removed and taken away without any delay. As a location recorder, SADiE is a highly efficient multi-format audio acquisition tool.

Music studio multitrack recorder using SADiE 5 software
Equipped with up to 128 channels of SADiE’s own design analogue I/O, the PCM-H64 system will slot into a music studio in place of a multitrack tape recorder. All track arming, locating, and transport controls are controllable from a console via 9-pin, and SADiE will perform perfectly in a machine room without ever drawing attention to itself. When it comes to mixing and processing, the resolution and sound quality of SADiE’s onboard processing is a step above anything else which is usually used in a music studio. Imagine having mastering-quality sound and processing accuracy over all 64 channels – that’s just one of the benefits of using SADiE in a multitrack environment.

The best news is the price. If you’re seeking a large-scale multitrack recorder that represents remarkable value for money, contact your SADiE dealer or representative and prepare to be very pleasantly surprised.
