Recording

If the PEAK indicator lights, this means that the input has exceeded the maximum volume that can be recorded by the R-05; i.e., the input is “clipping.” Sound that’s recorded in this condition will be distorted.

Use INPUT [+] [–] to adjust the level so that even the loudest passages do not cause the PEAK indicator to light; i.e., so that clipping does not occur. If you’re recording a song, make sure that clipping does not occur during the climax of a vocal or during a fortissimo passage of an instrumental performance.

When you’ve finished adjusting the level, press [ ] once again to start recording.

To stop recording, press [ ]; you’ll return to the main screen. The level setting will be preserved, so you can press [ ] once again to start recording at the same recording level.

When using the INPUT [+] [–] buttons, you might hear a slight noise when the recording level changes; this does not indicate a malfunction.

Using the rehearsal function

You can use the rehearsal function to automatically set the appropriate recording level based on the audio that is input during the specified length of time.

You can’t use the rehearsal function if AGC is on.
