Basic recording

After you finish preparing a recording media and connecting a mixer, you can start basic recording using this recorder.

Initial settings

You need to reset all the controls on this recorder to their initial settings according to the controls and switches on the mixer before you proceed to the next step. This procedure is called “Initialize” in this Guide and in the Reference Manual. The buttons and switches on this recorder should be reset as shown below. Remember to “initialize this recorder” before you start a new session.

About Sampling Frequency

The sampling frequency is important when recording a digital source, as described later in "Basic digital recording", but is not as important when recording analog source.

As described earlier in "Formatting a hard disk drive", the sampling frequency and quantization of the current drive (<44.1 kHz 16 bit or 24 bit>, <48 kHz 16 bit or 24 bit> or <96 kHz 24 bit>) are fixed when formatting. Therefore, the sampling frequency of a digital device connected to the recorder must match the recorder's sampling frequency.

For example, if you record a CD source digitally, the recorder's sampling frequency must be 44.1 kHz because the sampling frequency of a CD source is 44.1 kHz. If you use the 48 kHz digital signal of adat, the recorder's sampling frequency must be 48 kHz.

The sampling frequency selected when formatting the disk is indicated in the display. Please note that no indication means the disk is formatted at 96 kHz sampling frequency.
