Application guide

You can take advantage of the R-4 Pro’s ability to record four channels simultaneously. You can use
channels 1 and 2 to record a stage performance via digital inputs, and channels 3 and 4 to record the sounds
of the room or audience via mics.

Panel settings

Recording Setup

These settings are useful when you cannot afford mistakes, such as when recording an event or other non-
repeatable occasion. Even if the input levels are set appropriately, there may be cases in which an
unexpectedly loud sound causes clipping to occur, or conversely, in which the sound stays at an
unexpectedly low level.
For these situations, use four mics and pair two for each channel. Set each input level to a different level,
and record all four channels (two stereo pairs) simultaneously. After recording, select an appropriate
project.

Date... Using the Date setting makes it easy to tell the date and

have names such as SCENE001, SCENE002, and so forth,
makes it easy to see which projects belong together.
