4 – Recording
In this chapter, we explain basic recording operation procedures.
NOTE
The maximum number of recording channels for this unit
depends on the sampling frequency as follows.
o
44.1/48kHz: 64 channels
o
88.2/96kHz: 32 channels
Restrictions on recording operations
Due to the specifications of this unit, recording will be restricted
when the total number of files and folders inside one folder
becomes great. This restriction is as follows.
•
Recording might be restricted when the total number of
files and folders inside a single folder exceeds 10,000
In this case, recording a new take from a stopped state
might not be possible.
If such a folder is loaded, recording to that folder might not
be possible. The following pop-up message will appear in
such cases. At such times,
Rec Limit
will also appear in
the remaining recordable time area on the Home Screen.
CAUTION
The total number of files and folders inside a folder includes
files and folders created by devices other than this unit.
This also includes files and folders that ordinarily cannot be
seen, including management files and system files.
