RECORD (º)

Recording the moment before pushing RECORD (PRE REC)

By using prerecording, when the unit is in recording standby you can record up to two seconds of the signal input before the button is pushed to start recording.

1Press the MENU key to open the MENUscreen.

2Use the wheel to select REC SETTING, and press the

ENTER/MARK key.

3 Set the PRE RECitem to ON.

TIP

By using this in combination with the auto-record function, you can record events without losing the beginnings of sounds.

NOTE

•If the amount of time in record standby is less than two seconds, the sound for that amount of time is recorded.

•You cannot use the PRE REC function with overdub recording. When overdubbing please set the PRE REC item OFF.

Delaying the start of recording (REC DELAY)

This function allows you to delay the start of recording by 0.3 seconds (fixed interval) after the RECORD (º) key is pressed.

This is useful when you want to avoid recording the sound of pressing the RECORD (º) key.

1Press the MENU key to open the MENUscreen.

2Use the wheel to select REC SETTING, and press the

ENTER/MARK key.

3 Set the DELAYitem to ON.

NOTE

Set PRE REC to OFF when you set REC DELAY to ON.

6–Recording

Recording playback and input sounds together (overdubbing)

When an audio file is playing back, you can record the playback sound together with the input sound. This creates a new file and does not overwrite the playback file.

Adjust the levels of the input and playback sounds

Before recording the input and playback sounds together, you should carefully balance their levels.

1Turn input monitoring ON.

This allows you to listen to the input sound even if the unit is not recording or in recording standby. (See “Using input monitoring (MONITOR)” on page 41.)

2Select the audio file that you want to record, and press the PLAY/PAUSE (¥/π) key to start playback.

3Adjust the playback and input signals so that the PEAK indicator does not light. (See “Adjusting the playback volume” on page 36.)

NOTE

•You cannot change the input monitoring setting during recording or when in recording standby.

•When input monitoring is ON (and during overdub recording) the PEAK indicator shows the maximum level of the combined input and playback signals.
