Advantages of Using the R-44 to Record Sound for Video
Using the R-44 to record sound for video has the following merits.
You should try using the R-44 with video lming.
• Better sound than recording with the video camera’s microphone
Sampling rates up to 192 kHz are supported.
• You can record sounds di cult to record from the video camera location
Sounds that cannot be recorded by the video camera’s microphone can be picked up by the R-44.
Sounds from another location can be recorded at the same time.
• You can record environmental sounds and spoken lines separately
•
You can capture the actual ambience of the location, and use your computer to convert it to 5.1 channel surround
You can set microphones in four locations and change their position freely to create more realistic sound.
When lming video, the sound quality is often insu cient.
Using the R-44 allows you to record sound for video at a higher quality.
Here, we describe several recording tips on how to record sound for video.
Synching Video and Audio
It is di cult to synchronize the video and audio during the editing process. But, with a little
ingenuity, you can synch them easily.
Play a Baseline Sound and then Record
Clap your hands as the video
lming begins as a signal to
start recording.
By using this sound as a
baseline, you can easily
synch the timing between
video and audio during
editing.
Recording Settings
If the audio recorded for video will be used together with the video material to produce a
DVD, we recommend the following settings.
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 making a DVD match to video,
or if you are saving with high-quality sound, recording with
96 kHz makes conversion easier later
Rec Bit 16 bit
Rec Mode STEREO × 2 Setting to use two stereo system (2 channels) to record
Pre Recording
10 sec Record ten seconds ahead so you don’t miss anything
Project Name Name
To help distinguish your projects, it’s a good idea to give each
scene its own unique project name
