In general, emphasizing the sound from the strings will produce greater clarity, while emphasizing the overall resonance will produce greater richness. Moving the mic closer to the instrument will also make the sound brighter, while moving the mic away from the instrument will produce a sound that's richer and more mellow. Try different locations to get the sound you want to record. Use the CD-2e for daily practice or to create lesson materials The CD-2e is a wonderful tool, not only for recording "real" performances, such as recitals, but also for daily practice. For example, you can record yourself practicing and then play it back immediately, so you can more objectively evaluate how you sound. Placing the CD2e on a chair to gain some height will give the sound more clarity. Use the internal tuner to check the pitch before recording The CD-2e contains a built-in chromatic tuner. You can tune to a reference pitch, and there's also a tuning guide that provides a visual indication of the pitch. Mellow Rounded Recording a wind ensemble In a concert hall, record from the center! If you're recording from the audience seating of a concert hall, place the mics in the middle of the seating area. The best location is usually in the center, somewhere in the middle third (seen front to back) of the audience seating. If you don't have a stable platform, use an external mic and mic stand. Avoid recording the direct sound in a practice room In a small room, you may be unable to avoid placing the CD-2e in front of the conductor, but in this scenario, the instruments near the mics will be recorded at an inappropriately high volume. You'll get better results by using an external mic and positioning it in a high location so that the volume balance between all of the instruments will be correct. A useful trick is to place the CD-2e at the height of the conductor's desk, pointing away from the musicians. This may enable you to record the instruments without unduly emphasizing any particular one, so it's worth trying if you have problems with the volume balance. What is the CD-2e?Create a CD! Use height to adjust crispness Use distance to adjust clarity Placing the mics near the stage ng t mic will capture a wellre ell-defined sound, and moving them away from the hem awa stage will capture more reverberae rev tion, producing a softer effect You e ect. should start by sitting in the cent cente nter of the hall and placing the CD2e at the level of your ears. Crisp Record the direct sound Recording Tips Record the reflected sound Soft In a small room, use an external mic to record from above By placing the mic up high, you can prevent the sound of specific instruments from entering the mic directly. But when played in a typical room, the sound may resonate excessively, blurring the tonal characteristics or possibly causing specific pitches to be inappropriately accentuated. Try closing the curtains or draping blankets over the backs of chairs to dampen the resonances of the room. [. . . ] If you use the automatic marker function, silences between songs on the record or tape will be detected, and the songs will be numbered accordingly. * You may need a phono amp (phono equalizer) when connecting your record player.

The EDIROL R-09 is a great way to make outdoor recordings, such as birdsongs, the murmur of a brook, the sounds of nature, trains, vehicle sounds, or sonic memories of your travels. After you've made a recording on the R-09, simply move its SD card over to the CD-2e to transfer the audio data without having to use a computer. You can use the CD-2e to edit the recorded data and turn it into a CD. Used in combination, these two recorders will open up new ways for you to enjoy recording. * When recording on the R-09, set the recording mode to "WAV 16-bit" and sampling frequency to "44. 1 kHz.
