Recording a Band

A band’s performance is louder than everyday sounds. Set the [MIC GAIN] switch to L.

When you set the recording level, make adjustments during the loudest section of the song. You can use the rehearsal function to automatically set the appropriate recording level.

In a practice room, the instruments are typically placed around the edge of the room facing into the center. In order to record all instruments at a good balance, place the mic in the center of the room, at approximately table-top height to get the best sound. Placing the mic on the floor will produce a muffled sound with excessive low frequencies; placing the mic at a high location will fail to capture the lows, producing a thin sound.

If you turn the Auto Rec Start function on, you won’t have to press [ ]; recording will start automatically when the band begins playing. Choose a setting of Level 1–Level 3.

If you set Rec Mode to WAV+MP3, a high-quality archival master and a compact file for distribution will be recorded simultaneously.
