Overload display has been added for analog circuits.
When an analog circuit overloads, the entire level meter for the
corresponding channel becomes red. This enables quick determination
of the overloading input.
When it appears like this, the input is overloading and the sound could
be distorted. If this occurs, make adjustments in the following ways so
that the sound does not distort.
o Lower the volume of the sound source.
o If the input source is a mic, move the mic further from the sound
source.
o If distortion occurs when the input gain is HIGH, switch it to LOW.
NOTE
This overload display functions the same for the meters in all
recording apps.
A SOLO monitoring function has been added to the
INPUT SETTINGS Screen.
In the MANUAL and PODCAST apps, tapping the SOLO button on the
INPUT SETTINGS Screen enables solo monitoring of the input channel
being shown (AFL).
