Title: SP-CMC-8>ST-9100>R-09HR Optimal recording settings?
Post by: emalvido on May 12, 2011, 02:56:40 PM

Hello
Major taping this weekend,  big stadium
I have switched from Sony M1 to R-09HR
My previous tapings used: SP-CMC-8>ST-9100>M1   they sound "warmer", "bassier"  when I switched to r09-HR these new tapings sound "flater"

Would someone guide me to the optimal settings? for the R09-HR
Sample rate 48/24 but the other buttons? the ones in the back?
As far as I know these are the settings I have to use/used
Limiter/AGC - Limiter
Plug In Power - Off
Low Cut - Off
Mic Gain - L
Use LINE IN
now.....
On the screen menu, peak level to use? then adjust the ST-9100 gain, I usually have the knob at 12 o clock

Other settings from the recorder menu?

Thanks!!
Ed

Limiter off, set the R-09HR at 40.  Otherwise what you're doing is perfect.  You will get slightly different sound than you got with your DAT...

Chris, on your preamp that would be something like
4 to 4:30 o clock?

On the R09-HR
On the input setup menu I'm using low cut freq at 100Hz
Is that ok?

Yes and do not use the bass roll off.

DO NOT use bass roloff. Thats why your recording is "flat" and does have any bass/lowend ;)
