Situation Recording outdoors Setting Point the recording level Set the R-09HR mic gain to HIGH when record- ing bird songs or other quiet sounds. This setting makes the microphone very sensitive so that even the smallest sounds are captured. Conversely, set the mic gain to LOW when recording nearby loud noises such as trains for proper mic sensitivity. - Page 15 Positioning Point the R-09HR It is best to plan where to point the mic by imag- ining listening to the recording later. For exam- ple, you can create a realistic feel by recording the murmuring of a brook on the right and the twittering of the birds on the left.

However, if these sounds are too loud, the music may sound muffl ed. In this case, don’t change the position of the mic (which should be around the 15th or 17th fret), but change its angle so that the mic is at an angle from the neck of the guitar. - Page 19 Capture everything from behind Capture BD and SD in a direct line Piano Unlike small instruments, a piano produces sound from its entirety.
