TASCAM SS-R1 43
Applying the compressor while recording
You can apply the SS-R1’s built-in compressor to the
recording source while you record.
A compressor is an effect that holds down peaks in the
audio, making the overall level more consistent and more
listenable.
You’ll use the menu to turn the compressor on/off (for
details on menu operations, refer to “Operations in the
menu screens” on page 16).
1 Press the MENU key to access the main menu list
screen.
2 Select the REC menu.
3 Highlight the PREFERENCE item.
4 Press the front panel ˚ key (or the remote’s
CURSOR ¥ key) to proceed to the REC PREF-
ERENCE screen.
5 Select COMP.
6 Turn the MULTI JOG dial (or use the remote’s
CURSOR § , ¶ keys) to select one of the follow-
ing as the compressor mode.
OFF
: The compressor will not be used when recording.
SOFT
: Light compression will be applied. This setting
is suitable when recording music.
HARD
: Strong compression will be applied. This setting
is suitable when the audio source you’re recording has a
low volume. Since the recording volume will be boost-
ed, it is also suitable when recording a meeting or con-
ference.
7 When you’ve finished making settings, press the
front panel TIME (ESC) key (or the remote’s
CLR/ESC key) to return to the home screen.
NOTE
This setting is remembered even when you turn off
the power.
