4-Recording come in. This allows recording level setting to be performed easily. The recording level can be raised manually if required. TIP When recording live performances, for example, test for peak reduction may be performed before actual recording. Select the peak reduction mode in recording standby, and maximize the recording level. As a test performance is given subsequently, the input gain for recording is reduced to an appropriate level to meet the input signals, and an optimum recording level for the performance is set. Recording will be stored at this recording level if this mode is disabled before starting recording. Otherwise, the recording level will continue to be controlled automatically during recording. It is also possible to store the recording in the limiter mode after automatically setting the recording level in the peak reduction mode. AUTO LEVEL: The recording level is controlled automatically to increase or decrease the input level when the input signals are too small or too large, respectively. This mode is useful for recording at meetings. In this mode, the recording level cannot be changed manually. LIMITER: This prevents distortion of sounds when excessively large input signals come in suddenly. This mode is also suited for recording of live performances with large volume changes. In this mode, the recording level can be changed manually during recording. CAUTION Distortion of sounds may occur when excessively large input signals come in even if the LIMITER function is activated. In such a case, lower the recording level or keep proper distance between the unit and the source. TASCAM DR-05 51
