Recording analog audio

Starting recording

The following procedure assumes that all the necessary preparations for recording such as signal source connection, drive selection, level settings, etc. have been completed.

<Note>: You can always record analog input signals regardless of the record source setting if each channel receives only an analog signal. When a channel whose record source is set to "Digital" receives both digital and analog signals and it locks to the digital signal, the digital signal takes priority (the analog signal of this channel is not recorded). The record source can be set using the "Rec source set" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode. See page 146 for details.

1)Press the [READY] key to arm the desired track for recording.

The [READY] indicator for the armed track starts flashing in red.

If you attempt to start recording when no track is armed, "Select ready!" is shown.

2)Slide the [REC] key.

The PD606 automatically creates a new audio file and starts recording to it.

The file name given to the created audio file depends on the setting of the "Default file name" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode.

3)To stop recording, press the [PAUSE] key.

During recording, only the [PAUSE] key is effective. To stop the recorder completely, press the [STOP] key after pressing the [PAUSE] key.

Note that the recorder automatically stops completely after a certain period of time since it enters the pause mode. This period is set to three minutes by default, but can be changed to a desired period between 0.1 and 9.9 minutes in 0.1 minute steps or infinity using the "Pause time" menu in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 152).

If you press the [LOCATE] (or [STOP] + [REW]) key after stopping recording, the recorder locates to the beginning of the newly created audio file. Therefore, you can check the recorded sound by pressing the [PLAY] key in this condition.

<Note>: Every time you start recording after you stop recording, a new audio file is created and recording is made from the beginning of the new file.
