Simultaneously recording two files at
different input levels (DUAL REC)
This unit can simultaneously make two recordings at different
input levels (dual recording). For example, when recording
with mics, you can record the main recording with the
input level set as high as possible while recording a backup
recording with the input level set slightly lower to prevent the
sound from distorting and record both at the same time. The
main and backup recordings will each be saved as a separate
file. The input level setting will apply to the main recording
(see "Preparing the recording inputs" on page 37 and
"Adjusting the input level" on page 39). The input level of
the backup recording is set relative to the input level of the
main recording. So, you should set the input level of the main
recording first and then set the dual level (DUAL LVL) of the
backup recording.
