| Using Dual Recording to Avoid Clipping |
Another advantage to the dual recording feature is recording two sets of inputs. For live recording, you can record your set using the built-in mics as well as a direct "board mix" from the front-of-house mixer to the line inputs. To set this up:
- Press and hold the DUAL button, under the STOP button.
- Turn the DATA WHEEL to select "Mode", Press the »| button to access the right column.
- There are two options, Mix and Line. Use "Mix" to combine the two sources inside the DR-2d for one stereo file. Use "Line" to create two stereo files on the DR-2d that you can mix together later using your DAW software.
- Adjust the "Level" setting to set the second recording level (in "Line") or the blend between mic and line inputs (in "Mix.")
