Using the Rehearsal Function (Rehearsal)

The menu item Rehearsal has been added to the <Menu Screen>. You can have the recording level be set automatically, so that it is optimized for the actual audio being input.

When AGC is ON, the rehearsal function cannot be used.

Enhanced control over volume for preview monitoring

The handling for the volume during preview monitoring, when playing back songs that have low-volume passages, has been greatly improved in version 3.0. With some songs, if the output volume is set to a high level, the sound may sometimes distort. In such cases, you should adjust the volume of the output using the [(+) and (-) VOLUME Buttons].

1. Select “Rehearsal” from the <Menu Screen>.

Use the [PLAY Button ] and [STOP Button ] to select “Rehearsal,” then press the [REC Button].

You can go directly to “Rehearsal” by holding down the [MENU Button] for a few seconds in the <Main Screen>.

2. Position the microphone so it’s pointed at the

sound source you want to record, then press the [REC Button].

The detection process will begin. This process analyzes the audio that’s being input, and determines the optimum recording level and microphone input sensitivity (Mic Gain).

3. Press the [STOP Button ].

Once the detection process is complete, the unit will be set to the optimum input level, then you will be returned to the <Main Screen>.

If you decide to cancel the operation, press the [MENU Button]. The input level does not change.

A confirmation screen is shown. Press the [REC Button] to confirm your selection.

If you want to stop the processing for the Trim function after it

has started, press the [STOP Button ].

Do not turn off the power while the processing for the Trim function is being carried out.

After processing, the resulting trimmed song will be saved as a new song. As its name, the characters “-1” will be appended to the name of the source song. The source song will remain in its original state. For example, if the source song was named R09_0001.WAV, the Trim operation will create a new song named R09_0001-1.WAV.
