● System settings
1. Press the R-44 [MENU] button.
2. In 1 Recording Setup, set Input Select to IntMic.
Set the other items in 1 Recording Setup as appropriate
for the recording you want to make.
3. When finished with the setting, press the [EXIT] button
twice to return to the Main screen.
* For more about system settings, refer to “System setup” (p. 60).
* The limiter settings are invalid.
● Input level knobs
These knobs adjust the sensitivity and input levels.
● Record button [REC]
Press the [REC] button to begin recording.
For details on recording standby, refer to “Recording standby” (p. 31).
● Other settings
If you want to monitor the sound being recorded, connect headphones to the PHONES jack and use the
Monitor level knob to adjust the volume.
Adjusting the Monitor level knob does not affect the level of the sound actually being recorded.
To play the recorded sound, refer to “Playing back” (p. 41).
Recording from the internal mics
Adjusting the input levels
1. Turn the Input level knob [SENS] (outer) all the way left.
2. Turn the Input level knobs [LEVEL] (inner) to the center position. This position is 0 dB.
3. Hold down the [PAUSE] button and press the [REC] button.
The R-44 enters recording standby mode. During recording standby, the [REC] button blinks
and the display alternates between REC and STANDBY.
4. Play the sound to be recorded into the microphone.
Gradually turn the Input level knob [SENS] 1 toward the right.
Sensitivity has 3 steps of Lo, Mid, and Hi.
* Sensitivity can be changed simultaneously for both MIC-L and -R with Input Level knob 1.
* When the channel name display reverses, the input level has reached the clipping level. Set the knob
to the position just before the display reverses.
5. Gradually turn the Input level knob [LEVEL] toward the right.
* Input levels of the internal mics are adjusted by Input
level knob 1 (MIC-L) and knob 2 (MIC-R).

6.

Adjust the level so that the level meter shown in the
display reaches a point slightly before
C (clip level)
.
If the recording level is too low, quiet sounds will not
be recorded. If the recording level is too high, loud
sounds will be distorted, producing a crackling noise
in the recording.
* When the channel name is blinking, clipping has
occurred at the sensitivity adjustment stage. In this case, clipping occurs even if the level meter does
not reach the clip level.
* The level meter displays the clip level (C) in values relative to 0 dBFS (FS = full scale). For example, 12
indicates -12 dBFS.
