Recording Audio While Shooting Video; Recording Audio Memos Using Just The R - Edirol R-4 Bedienungsanleitung

Recording audio while shooting video

Here are the basic settings for using the R-4 to record audio while you're shooting video. If you're recording
outdoors, the settings for "Recording birdsongs outdoors" (p. 76) can be used in this case as well, but
other settings specific to video will also be necessary.

Recording audio memos using just the R-4

You can use the internal mics to record on just the R-4 without needing any external equipment. However,
the recording quality will be unavoidably less than when using good-quality external mics. The sound of
the R-4's button operations or internal mechanism may also be present in the recording.

The number of mics will depend on the video you're
shooting. If you're simply recording the background
sound, use two mics and record in stereo. If you're re-
Analog cording a play or an instrumental performance,
you'll probably want to set up one mic for each actor
or instrument. You can record up to four mics simul-
taneously.
If you're going to shoot video with a video camera,
and later use a video editing system to bring in the
48 kHz
audio tracks recorded by the R-4, it's a good idea to
record at 48 kHz.
If you're capturing audio for use in a production in
16 bit which the video is the main element, 16-bit recording
provides sufficient quality.
Set this to match the mic(s) you're using. Choose the MONO setting if each
mic is assigned to a different actor or instrument.
With the MONO setting, a separate WAV file will be created for each mic. In
other cases you will generally use the STEREO setting.
Turn this OFF, since you'll be synchronizing to the
OFF
video device.
It's convenient to assign a unique name to the project
Name so that each recorded project will be easily identifi-
able; e.g., SCENE001, SCENE002, ... etc.
