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
58
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.
