Will Hull asked,
| im wonding if i have to pause the recording to adjust the levels or how
| do i do this??
On Sony portable recorders, you can adjust the manual gain level only during
record-pause. Also, when you stop recording (say, to change discs), they
revert to automatic gain control and you have to reselect manual gain setting
from scratch. Those are generally considered drawbacks for live recording.
How to get into manual recording and how to change the level are described in
the manual. On my R3 one holds the REC slide to the right for two seconds to
switch between manual and automatic; in manual gain mode, during record-pause,
one changes the level with the FF and REW keys. How similarly the R90 works
I cannot say.
Sharp portables do not offer automatic level control; the setting is always
manual, and you can change it without pausing. That's also true of Sony
decks.
Aiwa portables do offer both automatic and manual level control; you have to
be in record-pause to switch between automatic and manual, but once you're in
manual you do *not* have to pause to adjust the level. Also, it remembers
the choice between automatic and manual and the last manual level chosen when
you stop the unit, even if you change discs (well, maybe not if all power is
disconnected).
As to other manufacturers' portable recorders or non-Sony decks, I do not
know.
