Setting
sound quality
We recommend recording instruments in WAV format. However, because MP3 recordings are compact,
they can be useful for recording instrument practice.
Record Mode Description
WAV
Get professional recording quality for digital audio by recording in 24 bit/48 kHz.
Recording in 16 bit/44.1 kHz allows you to transfer data to the PC and burn a CD
without any conversion.
MP3
The MP3 data format was created to preserve the quality of WAV data while
compressing the le size. Until now, you had to convert WAV le to an MP3 on
a PC, but the R-09 allows you to record in MP3 format directly. Not only can you
transfer data to a PC and distribute it directly on the internet, you can also record
hours of practice, taking advantage of the smaller le size.
See p.30-31 in the Owner’s Manual for setting the recording mode.
