Simultaneously Recording Two Files At Different Input Levels (Dual Rec); Enabling Dual Recording; Starting Dual Recording; Dual Recording File Names - Tascam DR-70D Reference Manual

Simultaneously recording two files at
different input levels (DUAL REC)
This recorder can simultaneously record a second recording
at a different input level along with the regular recording. For
example, when recording with microphones, you can make an
ordinary recording with the input level set as high as possible
and simultaneously record at a slightly lower input level for
safety.
Two recorded files (one with higher input level and one with
lower input level) are saved individually.
NOTE
Make the input level setting for the ordinary recording in
the usual manner. (See "Adjusting the input level" on page
19.), (See "Setting the input gain" on page 20.)
