Recorder
• Select Meter Mode and press the CHNG button to switch between Pre-Fader
(the default) and Post-Fader.
• Select Meter Range and press the CHNG button to switch between -oo to
0dB (minus infinity to 0dB, the default) -24dB to 0dB or -12dB to 0dB.
These fine dB scales can be useful when sending test tones to the recorder, such as

Using Markers
Markers allow you to label sections of a recording for visual reference and to locate back to

Mouse/Keyboard Operation

To create a marker, click the Edit menu and select New Marker or press the Enter

loop (or pre-roll point if enabled) and stops.
• Play Once and Stop plays through the loop once and then stops at the loop end (or
post-roll point if enabled).
• Play Repeatedly plays through the loop, locates to the beginning of the loop (or
preroll point if enabled) and plays again, repeating until the stop button is pressed.
