Recording Settings

If you are recording for distribution of CD's, the internet, or recording audio for video,
you will need to specify the recording mode, the recording source, the sampling rate,
and the recording format.
A) Selecting the REC MODE
For the purpose of learning how to record sound we will be using 2 channel recording
mode also known as Stereo recording. Stereo recording uses two separate channels to
record different signals at the same time. Through the left channel and right channel
and the directionality of the microphones, the R-26 can reproduce dynamic sounds.
Use REC MODE to specify the number of channels that you want to record:
1. Choose [MENU] > [REC SETUP] > [REC MODE].
2. Touch [2 CHANNEL] for recording.
3. Touch [BACK] to return to the menu screen.
B) Selecting the REC SOURCE
Depending how many channels you selected different combinations will be available.
In 2 CHANNEL recording, the following are available:
•
INTERNAL - Selects the internal mies (a mix of the directional internal mies and
the omnidirectional internal mies).
•
ANALOG - Selects the input from the ANALOG IN 1 /L jack and ANALOG IN 2/R
jack. Recording will take place in stereo.
•
ANALOG (MONO) - Selects the input from the ANALOG IN 1/Ljack and
ANALOG IN 2/Rjack. Two monaural channels will be recorded.
