Troubleshooting
Pan (stereo image) is not recorded correctly
If the limiter is turned on, it will respond to the levels of each channel, meaning that when the level of a
sound located toward the right (or left) side increases, the limiter for that channel will limit the volume. If
you’re recording in stereo, the result will be that the left and right volume difference will diminish, causing
the pan (stereo image) to move toward the center.
The limiter cannot be applied to multiple channels as a group.
If you’re using the
Comp&DeEsser
effect with channel linking (LINK) set separately for CH1, CH2, CH3,
and CH4, and the compressor begins to operate on CH1 (left), this will eliminate the level difference with
CH2 (right), causing the pan (stereo image) to move toward the center.
In this case, set the LINK setting to CH1+2 or CH3+4 so that whenever compression starts being applied to
CH1 (left), it will be applied to CH2 (right) at the same time.
Also, the stereo image will not be recorded correctly if the input level knob settings differ significantly
between L and R, so that the levels are not balanced correctly.
Even though you’ve set the recording levels, the sound is distorted when you turn
on an effect
Since some effects work by emphasizing a portion of the sound, this may increase the volume of the overall
song, thereby causing clipping (distortion). You may take either of the following two actions.
Lower the level (LEV) values for each effect parameter
The overall volume will decrease, but the character of the effect will be maintained.
Refer to:“Effects setting”
(p. 55)
Lower the input level to decrease the volume before applying the effect
This adjustment is easy to make, but may change the resulting character of the effect.
A message of HDD Slow! appears
Writing access to the hard disk has slowed down.
As you repeatedly write and delete project files, the files on the hard disk will become fragmented, and this
will slow down the processing speed.
If you are making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when you’re
finished with them. Repeated deletion of smaller pieces of data will cause the disk to become fragmented,
possibly causing recording to fail.
