Chapter 2 Starting Out 3. Turn Knob 2 to select the input. The Input setting selects the input to be recorded. The A3000 records only the signal carried through the connector(s) that you select here. • If you are recording from a monaural microphone connected to the "L" input on the front panel, select AD L. • If you are recording from a stereo microphone connected to both the "L" and "R" inputs, select AD L/R. Memo • After selecting the appropriate function screen (page), you adjust the various settings by rotating the appropriate knobs. Each knob controls a different setting. Above each knob you will see the name of the setting it controls (on the top line of the screen), and the currently selected value (on the second line). Turning the knob changes the value shown in the second line. • If you have installed the optional AIEB1 I/O expansion board, you will also be able to select DIGITAL or OPTICAL as your input source. 4. Turn Knob 3 to set the sample type (SmpType) to Mono. This setting selects the type of sample to be recorded: either monaural or stereo. In this example, we will create a monaural sample. (Note that the Mono setting forces a monaural recording, even if you are supplying your input through a stereo microphone.) 5. Turn Knob 1 to the right one click to advance to the Target page. You use this page to set the recording method and sample name, and to select whether the recorded sample is to be associated with the current program. w The screen now looks like this.
