Pan (stereo image) is not stored correctly

If the limiter is turned on, it will respond to the levels of each channel, meaning that when the level of a

sound located toward the right (or left) side increases, the limiter for that channel will limit the volume. If

you’re recording in stereo, the result will be that the left and right volume difference will diminish, causing

the pan (stereo image) to move toward the center.

• Panning can be correctly recorded by linking the limiters of the channels recording in stereo using the

Limiter Link.

Refer to:“1 Recording Setup” (p. 72)

If using the Comp&DeEsser effect with channel linking (LINK) set separately for CH1, CH2, CH3, and

CH4, and the compressor begins to operate on CH1 (left), this will eliminate the level difference with CH2

(right), causing the pan (stereo image) to move toward the center.

• In this case, set the LINK setting to CH1+2 or CH3+4 so that whenever compression starts being

applied to CH1 (left), it will be applied to CH2 (right) at the same time.

Refer to:“Effects settings” (p. 59)

Also, the stereo image will not be recorded correctly if the input level knob settings differ significantly

between L and R, so that the levels are not balanced correctly.

Even though the recording levels are set, the sound is distorted when an effect is turned on

Since some effects work by emphasizing a portion of the sound, this may increase the volume of the overall

song, thereby causing clipping (distortion). You may take either of the following two actions.

• Lower the level (LEV) values for each effect parameter

The overall volume will decrease, but the character of the effect will be maintained.

Refer to:“Effects settings” (p. 59)

• Lower the input level to decrease the volume before applying the effect

This adjustment is easy to make, but may change the resulting character of the effect.

The HDD Slow! message is shown

Writing access to the hard disk has slowed down.

As you repeatedly write and delete project files, the files on the hard disk become fragmented, and this

slows down the processing speed.

If making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when finished with

them. Repeated deletion of smaller pieces of data causes the disk to become fragmented, possibly causing

recording to fail.
