Recording a musical performance

Before recording, make sure that the recorder displays the recording level (that is, the ALC
function is turned off)
(page 13).
1.
Point the built-in stereo microphone
toward the sound source, then press the
[REC] button.
The unit enters recording [STANDBY] mode.
The LED indicator flashes red slowly.
(Recording has not started yet.)
Note:
The level meter will move left or right in response
to the sound level from the microphone.
2.
Press the [INPUT/SPEED] (+/–) buttons located on the side panel to adjust the
INPUT level (recording level).
Adjust the recording level while playing music toward the microphone.
Hint:
Setting the recording peak limiter
When the recording peak limiter is set to ON, the recorder reduces sound distortion by
automatically adjusting excessive peaks. It is recommended that you set the limiter to ON
when you record audio
below), set the limiter to OFF.

Adjusting the recording level

You can adjust the recording level in the range of 0 through 40. When the recording level is
set to "0," silence will be recorded.
• Setting an appropriate recording level
Adjust the recording level so that at the loudest source volume
the level meter will move as far to the right as possible without
deflecting all the way (and so that the recording LED will NOT
flash rapidly during recording).
• If the recording level is too low:
Press the [INPUT/SPEED](+) button to adjust the recording
level so that the level meter will move moderately to the right.
Note:
If an appropriate recording level cannot be achieved even if you raise
the level to "40," set [MIC SENS] to [HIGH]
POCKETRAK C24 Reference Manual
(page 13). Also, set [MICSENS] (microphone sensitivity) to [LOW]
(page 17). However, if you want to adjust the recording level (see
Level meters
(page 13).
