POCKETRAK C24 Owner's Manual 15 Introduction Recording tips The recorder enables you to record audio at a superior level of quality by setting the Recording mode, ALC (Auto Level Control) function, microphone sensitivity, recording peak limiter and other functions. Please refer to the Reference Manual (PDF file) for information on the other functions. Recording mode The recorder records audio in the MP3 or PCM (WAV) format. As a rule of thumb, select "PCM 44. 1kHz/16 bit" (better sound quality) for the Recording mode to record a musical performance. Select "MP3 128kbps" (smaller data size) to record musical practice sessions or conference meetings. If you want to record audio at a much higher level of sound quality, select "PCM 96kHz. " Hint: · In PCM mode, non-compressed audio data will be recorded. If you choose an option that offers better sound quality, the data size will be larger and the remaining available recording time will be shorter. Select a Recording mode that will suit your purposes, based on your priorities (better sound quality or longer recording time). · If you plan to create an audio CD from the recordings, select "PCM 44. 1kHz/16 bit". Recording mode and application examples Recording format Sampling frequency, bit depth, bit rate 96kHz/16bit, 24bit 88. 2kHz /16bit, 24bit 48kHz/16bit, 24bit 44. 1kHz/16bit, 24bit 320kbps 192kbps 128kbps MP3 64kbps 32kbps File extension Application examples Recording a musical performance, creating a master recording, creating a CD, and recording other original sound sources High-quality recording of musical practice sessions, conference meetings, etc. compressed into a smaller size file Recordings for which extended duration is more important than sound quality ("32kbps" indicates a monaural recording. ) PCM .

Therefore, the actual available recording time is less than estimated above. * The largest available recording space (for continuous recording) in one file is 2GB. About the ALC (Auto Level Control) function The Auto Level Control function automatically adjusts the recording level in response to the source level so that the resulting recording will be tighter dynamically. ALC OFF The recording will accurately represent the original sound, and maintain sound dynamics as is. Musical performance and nature recordings ALC ON The recording dynamics will be adjusted. This setting will reduce distortion and is better for recording dictation. Musical practice, conference meetings and interview recordings Feature Application Microphone sensitivity You can set the microphone sensitivity level to high or low to accommodate the recording environment. If the recorded audio level is too low or too high, change the microphone sensitivity setting. Setting the microphone sensitivity Press the [MENU/FOLDER] button while the main screen is displayed, select [REC MENU] [MIC SENS], then select [HIGH] or [LOW]. If the volume level is too high, set [MIC SENS] to [LOW]. 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. Setting the recording peak limiter Press the [MENU/FOLDER] button while the main screen is displayed, select [REC MENU] [REC LIMITER], then select [ON]. The peak limiter is available only when the ALC function is set to OFF. POCKETRAK C24 Owner's Manual 17 Quick Guide 1.
