Recording

Configuring recording

You can set the sound quality to use when recording. Improving the sound quality increases the song size and decreases the recording time.

When making a final recording of a performance, it is best to use WAV 16 bit or 24 bit to give priority to sound quality.

When making an audio CD, set the sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz and the recording mode to WAV 16 bit.

Test recordings and records of meetings do not usually require sound quality as good as that. For longer recordings that give priority to song size, use MP3 128 kbps at 44.1 kHz.

Decide whether the sound quality or the recording time is to be given precedence, and make the settings accordingly.

Sampling frequency

(Default value is bold)

44.1 kHz

Sampling frequency values

48 kHz

88.2 kHz

96.0 kHz

The larger value provides better sound quality. When making a digital recording, the sound level is measured periodically, and that level is made into a digital signal. The sampling frequency is a value that defines the time interval and is expressed in kHz. A high sampling frequency is needed to faithfully reproduce high sounds.

• Higher sampling frequencies result in larger song sizes and shorter recording times.

• When using the recording as an audio track for a video, we recommend setting the frequency to 48 kHz.

• The sampling frequency of a recorded song cannot be changed on the R-09HR.

• When the sampling frequency is either 88.2 kHz or 96.0 kHz, MP3 cannot be selected with the Recording mode.

■

WAV versus MP3

WAV songs (*.WAV) store all sound information without compression; MP3 songs (*.MP3) store songs using compression. Consequently, WAV songs have a better sound quality recording than MP3 songs. On the other hand, MP3 reduce data volume by removing frequencies that are hard for the human ear to hear.

When recording with MP3, the song size is smaller than the WAV setting recording, and a longer recording can be made.

■

bps and bit

The higher the value, the better the sound quality.

The MP3 bps is the bit rate unit (bits per second). The bit rate indicates data transfer rates in number of bits sent per second.

The WAV bit is used to represent the size of a sample. The sample size indicates the amount of precision used in capturing subtle changes in the sound. Larger sampling size values allow for more details of the sound to be expressed, and result in sound that is smoother and more natural.

MP3 192 kbps MP3 224 kbps MP3 320 kbps

WAV 16 bit

WAV 24 bit

Recording

• Higher bps and bit values result in larger song sizes and shorter recording times.

• Software such as Windows Media Player cannot play back 24 bit WAV files.

MP3 can be selected only when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

The R-09HR is designed to record a wide variety of sounds, but it can also make high-quality recordings when a recording level (volume) appropriate for the sound to be recorded is set. Level settings should be the highest input level (volume) that has no distortion. This principle is the same for both the [Internal Microphone] and external microphones.

The level meter indicates when louder sounds are being recorded by growing toward the right. Adjust by pressing [Input Level Button] to allow for the loudest recording. However, the input volume is too loud when the [PEAK Indicator] lights up. When the [PEAK Indicator] is lit, the input volume has reached the maximum input volume that R09HR can record (clipping status), and any louder sounds cannot be recorded with the current volume setting. The resulting recording will be severely distorted.

Adjusting recording levels using the remote control

The recording level can be adjusted using the remote indicator. The remote indicator indicates either recording-standby mode or excessive input by the way it blinks.

Position the microphone so it faces the sound you intend to record.

Point the R-09HR’s microphone toward the target for recording.

The further to the right the level meter moves, the greater the volume of the audio that’s being recorded. Adjust by pressing the [Input Level Buttons] to allow for the loudest recording. However, when the remote indicator blinks faster than usual, the input volume is too loud. The remote indicator blinks at a fast rate when the input volume has reached the maximum input volume that the R-09HR can record (clipping stage), and any louder sounds cannot be recorded at the original volume.

Recording from cassettes or CDs

The R-09HR can be used for recording instrumental performances and taking voice memos, but it can also be used to record cassettes or CDs using the [LINE IN Jack].

If a device or cable is connected to the [LINE IN Jack], input from the microphones is disabled. Therefore, it is not possible to mix microphone and line input during recording. If there is sound input via both the [LINE IN Jack] and the [MIC Input Jack], only the sound from the line input is recorded.

This example describes recording from a CD player to the R09HR.
