Menu item Value Function
Input Select
Analog
This selects the type of input.
Choose this setting if you want to record analog input. Connect your micro-
phones or analog audio device to the Combo input jacks. With this setting, any
input from the internal microphones or the digital input jack is ignored.
Digital
Choose this setting if you want to record digital input. The signal from a digital
device connected to the Digital input jack is recorded. With this setting, any in-
put from the internal microphones or the Combo input jacks is ignored.
The sampling frequency is specified by the Rec Freq. setting, and the bit depth
by the Rec Bit setting.
Dig + Ana
Choose this setting if you want to simultaneously record digital and analog in-
put. The signal from the digital device connected to the Digital input jack and
the signal from the microphones or analog audio device connected to the Com-
bo input jacks are recorded simultaneously. For these settings, the digital input
is on channels 1 and 2. Use channels 3 and 4 for the analog input.
IntMic Choose this setting if you want to record via the internal microphones. LIMITER
and LOW CUT are disabled, and SENS has three levels.
Int + Ana
Choose this setting if you want to simultaneously record from the internal mi-
crophones and analog input. MIC-L is on channel 1, and MIC-R is on channel 2.
Use channels 3 and 4 for the analog input. LIMITER and LOW CUT are disabled,
and SENS has three levels.
Rec Freq.
44.1 kHz,
48.0 kHz,
88.2kHz
96 kHz
192 kHz
This sets the sampling frequency for recording.
Higher sampling frequencies allow higher-quality recording but produce larger
project files, meaning that there will be less available recording time on the SD
memory card.
The 44.1 kHz setting is sufficient when recording audio that falls within the nor-
mally audible range. This frequency is also the most suitable if you are going to
load the recorded file into your computer to create a music CD.
You can use the higher frequency settings when recording audio that contains a
significant amount of high-frequency content from instruments such as cymbals
or when you want to capture the brightness and transparency of a natural envi-
ronment.
When Rec Freq is 192 kHz, only 2-channel recording is possible.
Rec Bit 16 bit,
24 bit
This sets the sample size (bit depth) for recording. A larger sample size allows
the sound to be captured in greater detail but produces a larger project file,
meaning that there will be less available recording time on the SD memory card.
Use the 16-bit setting for normal recording. This setting allows the broadest
compatibility when loading the recorded file into your computer for playback.
Use the 24-bit setting if you want to capture the tonal character and ambience in
greater detail, such as when recording an instrumental or vocal performance.
* Depending on the PC environment, you may not be able to play project files recorded
in 24 bit.
