Recording Outdoor Sounds
4
You can record the sounds of nature, like bird, cat, dog and other
animal noises, the sound of rain, or the babbling of a brook.
Here, we describe several tips on how to record in the outdoors.
Matching
the Recording Levels
You should set the R-44 sensitivity (microphone
sensitivity) high so you can record quiet sounds like
wild bird song. This setting makes the microphone
sensitive and even the quietest sound is captured.
On the other hand, lower sensitivity is an
appropriate microphone setting for loud sounds
that are almost just noise, such as the sound a train
makes as it passes.
Set [SENS] fairly high
You should check the input level after making these
settings.
Basically, check to be sure the C at the right of the
level meter (clip level) when the loudest sound is
heard.
For details on setting the input level, refer to
the owner’s manual.

Dealing with
Wind Noise
If a strong wind hits the microphone, a mu ed
“wind noise” is recorded. At worst, the wind noise
will be louder than the sound you want to record,
which is one reason for ruining a clear recording. We
introduce some ways of handling wind noise here.
Put a wind screen on the microphone.
The wind screen should stop most of the wind
noise.
Wind Screen
Turn [LOW CUT] ON.
Since wind noise is made up mostly of the low
range, the noise can be reduced by cutting out
the low range.

Preparing to Record
• Connect a stereo microphone to the R-44.
• It is convenient to use a directional stereo microphone (CS-15R or CS-50)
to record only what you are pointing at.
Record Settings
The following settings should be used if you are synching to video to make a DVD. Also, you should use the Pre
Recording settings to prevent missing a recording.
Input Select Analog Sets the mode to record with an external microphone
Rec Freq. 48 kHz Use 48 kHz if ultimately you are synching to video to make a DVD
Or it may be convenient record with 96 kHz if you want to save in high
quality so that you can convert sounds to use with a DVD
Rec Bit 16 bit
Rec Mode STEREO × 1 Setting to use one stereo system (2 channels) to record
Pre Recording
20 sec Set to 15–20 seconds to prevent missing recording something
Project Name Date If you set the date, it is easy to know the recording date and time
For details on how to make recording settings, refer to the owner’s manual.
