Value Function
This selects the type of input.
Choose this setting if you want to record analog input. Connect your
Analog
microphones or analog audio device to the Combo input jacks. With this setting,
any input from the internal mics or the Digital input jack is ignored.
Choose this setting if you want to record digital input. The signal from a digital
device connected to the Digital input jack is recorded. With this setting, any
Digital input from the internal mics or the Combo input jacks is ignored.
The sampling frequency is specified by the Rec Freq. setting, and the bit depth
by the Rec Bit setting.
Choose this setting if you want to record via the internal mics. Limiter and Low
IntMic
cut are disabled, and SENS has three levels.
Choose this setting if you want to simultaneously record digital and analog
input. The signal from the digital device connected to the Digital input jack and
Dig + Ana the signal from the microphones or analog audio device connected to the Combo
input jacks are recorded simultaneously. For these settings, the digital input is
on channels 1 and 2. Use channels 3 and 4 for the analog input.
Choose this setting if you want to simultaneously record from the internal mics
and analog input. MIC-L is on channel 1, and MIC-R is on channel 2. Use
Int + Ana
channels 3 and 4 for the analog input. Limiter and Low cut are disabled, and
SENS has three levels.
This sets the sampling frequency for recording.
Higher sampling frequencies allow higher-quality recording but produce larger
project files, meaning that there will be less available recording time on the SD
memory card.
44.1 kHz,
The 44.1 kHz setting is sufficient when recording audio that falls within the
48.0 kHz,
normally audible range. This frequency is also the most suitable if you are going
88.2 kHz,
to load the recorded file into your computer to create a music CD.
96 kHz,
You can use the higher frequency settings when recording audio that contains a
192 kHz
significant amount of high-frequency content from instruments such as cymbals
or when you want to capture the brightness and transparency of a natural
environment.
* When Rec Freq. is 192 kHz, only 2-channel recording is possible.
This sets the sample size (bit depth) for recording. A larger sample size allows
the sound to be captured in greater detail but produces a larger project file,
meaning that there will be less available recording time on the SD memory card.
Use the 16-bit setting for normal recording. This setting allows the broadest
16 bit,
compatibility when loading the recorded file into your computer for playback.
24 bit
Use the 24-bit setting if you want to capture the tonal character and ambience in
greater detail, such as when recording an instrumental or vocal performance.
Depending on the PC environment, you may not be able to play project files
recorded in 24 bit.
