Topic: TASCAM DR-07 record level setting for 16th row.

Thanks for your reply.
 

////I have a question: Do I need an extra battery box?////

An inexpensive signal path is little electret mics-->battery box-->Line in. The battery box sends power to the mics, enough so that a signal from a loud concert can be recorded through line-in, without the preamp behind the mic-in jack.  Alternately: mics-->preamp-->line-in. Not both.

In any event, I would like to have their contacts handy in case I managed to talk to them in advance. Please help if you can. Thank you.

update:

Medium mic gain (int.) and level 2 input level resulted distortion.

conclusion:

low gain and input level 5 works better.

Thanks for all involved.

why fiddle with the internal mic setting?

Your mic goes to Preamp and this goes to line in!. record in 24Bit, set the Input level with the wheel on the side of the DR-07 around 6, final adjustment on the pre and you´re done.

sorry i use only internal mic.

But important, there is no rule about what value you need, just little hints. For learning leave more headroom - you can always raise the gain a bit in postpro, but an distorted recording is most for trash.

I guess it's for trash. Now I'm listening to it and not quite happy with it, it's worse than my previous setting.
