Recording Settings for Various Situations

Here we’ll explain examples of Recorder Setup settings that are appropriate for various recording situations.

Recording Acoustic Instruments

Point the mic directly at the instrument you’re recording so that the recording is not unbalanced toward the left or right channel. Placing the mic close to where the sound is being emitted will give you a brighter and clearer recording. Placing the mic at a distance will capture the sound of the room as well, giving you a more mellow recording. You can use a separately sold mic stand adaptor to attach the R-05 to a commercially available mic stand.

Set the [MIC GAIN] switch as appropriate for the volume of the instrument.

If you want to record with good quality for

enjoyable musical listening, record to a WAV file. If you’ll be creating a CD, set the sampling rate to

44.1 kHz and set the Rec Mode (p. 42) to WAV-16 bit. If you’re recording a practice session or your own ideas, you can record with the MP3-128 kbps setting.

If you set Rec Mode to WAV+MP3, a high-quality archival master and a compact file for distribution will be recorded simultaneously.
