Hi all. My brain is getting old . I need help on my Sony PCM-M10 recording settings.
I got a arena gig coming up next week and I cant remember the input switch settings on the back of the unit{ Mic sensitivity} and input settings in the recorders menu as of low filter cut, limiter settings should be set to..
I do know how to set the recording file format , Mic plugin power option to off and manual record level settings on back of recorder. .
The mike I'll be using is my ole reliable Sony ECM-MS907 which will be set to wide pattern.
I've written the info down and now and I cant find the notepad where I made the note from the last gig I did last year..
Thanks in advance and take care.

LOW sensitivity ALWAYS
Low cut OFF
Limiter OFF
Manual gain control
Tape the switches into those positions with gaffer tape :coolguy:

+1 on taping them down.

I prefer to leave the limiter on because it saves me from clipping on the rare occasions I set levels too high, and doesn't do anything when I set levels properly low. But in most situations it doesn't matter either way.
(And +1 to all the other recommendations, including the tape.)

Thank you all..
I usually run the volume levels around 3 or 4 as depends where i sit at the show. .The MS907 are great since they don't distort with loud music.
At a couple shows I was right next to the loudspeakers and the recording came out great''
On the other hand the M10 built-in mics ,My Nikon camera and my smartphone don't like loud music as they get overloaded.

Never really understood why many thinks activating the limiter is a no-go. I too would rather have the limiter kick in than dealing w. clipping when I screw up my levels.
