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 bought the HD24 when it was new and it still works well. I have never had it crash unlike some PC DAW's I also use.

I am SO GLAD to see this being used.

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.

Alesis was a GREAT innovative company back in the day. My Masterlink is one of my most favorite pieces of gear ever, and only recently died. I still use CD's for my small run vanity projects. It is most likely the hard disk, but I think the operating system is on it so I am not sure if it can be repaired.

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!

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

@newhefner6212 11 ай бұрын

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

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

@mathewworkman1625 8 ай бұрын

I want one.

@apextraxx2903 Ай бұрын

OK, so here’s what I wanna do. I want to use the alesis as extra I/O going into my Rme interface. I also want to use the hard drive Spaces as a raid type situation for backups instead of my main hard drive….. two questions, how good are the converters? And can these be set up as a raid type situation?

@lifetunes767 9 ай бұрын

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

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?

@RobertLee-tv4hc 8 күн бұрын

Just take two playback tracks prerecorded from the HD24 and route it back through your interface/mixer, run it through whatever outboard gear you like then assign the channel to the track you want to bounce it onto. I use a Mackie 24x8 mixer to do this. I will usually record a dry track then add my compression and or effects on another track just in case I want to change it later. If you record your track with effects and decide you don't like it, you cant change it and have to re-record it. Hope this helps. *(edit typo)

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 10 ай бұрын

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

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

@JohnnySaskatchewanandtheNoShit 5 ай бұрын

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.

Sold mine, regret it.

I did the same with my first one and regreted it. I did find another one in mint condition for $300 from a local studio.

@javixux7845 Ай бұрын

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.

@RobertLee-tv4hc 8 күн бұрын

That sounds like a pretty good deal. I'm sure it would sell quickly at those prices. My original unit cost $1,400 new. I picked up a second unit used for $300 from a local studio, it had only one hard drive.
