TASCAM DR-44WL
Simultaneously recording two files
with different input levels/formats
(DUAL REC, 4CH only)
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.
Recorded files are saved as two files: one recorded at the input
level of ordinary recording and the other recorded at an input
level 12dB lower than that level. In addition, you can record in
two different formats (WAV and MP3) simultaneously and create
two files.
NOTE
• Make the input level setting for the ordinary recording in
the usual manner. (See "Adjusting the input level" on page
19.), (See "Set the input gain" on page 19.)
• You cannot apply effects to the second file, which is
recorded at a different input level or in a different format.
