Yamaha 02R 22 Introductory Recording Tutorial, /ATT Display Function, Peak Hold

22 Introductory Recording Tutorial
Digital Recording Console 02R Getting Started Guide
Back off the GAIN control a little until the PEAK indicator illuminates very
occasionally. The GAIN control should be set with some care. If it is set too
low, the signal-to-noise performance will suffer, and if it is set too high,
signal clipping and distortion may occur.
∅/ATT Display Function
The signal level may be too high in the digital domain. If CLIP is reached,
but the corresponding PEAK indicator is not illuminated, you need to
attenuate the channel slightly with the ∅/ATT display function.
1. Press the [∅/ATT] button.
2. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the attenuator icon for
MIC/LINE 1 and rotate the encoder wheel to adjust the
attenuation level.
The ∅/ATT display function allows you to attenuate (and invert the phase)
of a signal after it has been converted to digital data.
Peak Hold
1. If you used the ∅/ATT display function, press the [METER] button
again.
The 02R will return to the METER display function.
2. You may find the Peak Hold function useful at this point. To turn it
on, use the CURSOR buttons to select the PEAK HOLD control icon
and press [ENTER]. When the Peak Hold function is active, the
control icon is displayed in reverse video.
Note: You should rarely find it necessary to use the ∅/ATT function on an input
signal after the gain level has been correctly set, but you may need to attenuate
after you apply equalization, effects, or dynamics to the signal.
