20 Introductory Recording Tutorial

Digital Recording Console 02R Getting Started Guide
Setting the Input Level
Assuming that Digital Recording Console 02R is powered ON and your
music source is playing, the very first thing you need to do is set up a basic
control room monitor mix. When you recall Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial
Data”, all the channel faders are set to the 0 dB mark.

Setting Fader Levels

If the faders are not set to 0 dB, you should perform the following steps to
optimize the input signal level for the best performance:
1. Set the fader for MIC/LINE 1 to the 0 dB mark.
The 0 dB fader position is a good place to start when setting fader levels. It
is a good setting with regard to signal level and noise performance and it
leaves room for you to raise the level later, if necessary.
2. Set the STEREO fader to the 0 dB mark.
The stereo output meters are indicating the stereo output level. The stereo
mix signal is now being output to the digital and analog STEREO OUT
connectors.

Selecting a Monitor Source

Before you can hear anything through your monitor amplifier and
speakers, you have to select a Control Room source:
1. Press the [ST] button of the CONTROL ROOM buttons group.
This selects the stereo bus for monitoring in the control room.
2. Adjust the volume with the C-R LEVEL control.
You should be able to hear the sound source through your monitor
speakers. If you are using stereo headphones, you will need to adjust the
PHONES LEVEL control to set a comfortable listening level.
Note: Be very careful with the level settings, especially if you are using stereo
headphones. When you are adjusting a unit as complex as the Digital Recording
Console 02R, it is possible for you to inadvertently switch on a very loud signal
source. Damaged loudspeakers or amplifiers can be very expensive. Damage to
your hearing can be much worse. Your ears are for life!
