Recording to CF/CD
Recording with the Internal Mics
Here’s how to record a vocal or instrumental performance via
the CD-2’s internal mics (see the illustration below).
You can record to either a CF card or a CD-R/RW disc.
HINT
• You can check the amount of time that remains on the
media. Page 75, “Displaying the Remaining Time”
• You can increase the amount of free space on a CF card
or CD-RW by deleting unwanted tracks.

• If you’re recording to a CF card, you can select the
recording mode that’s appropriate for the content you’re
recording. Page 36, “Choosing the CF Card
Recording Mode”
MEMO
• The sound from the internal mics will not be heard from
the internal speakers. You’ll need to use headphones in
order to audition the sound from the internal mics.
• Since the CD-2 is equipped with highly-sensitive mics,
undesired sounds such as the operating noise of the CD-
R/RW drive* or the sound of buttons being pressed may
be recorded inadvertently.
If you notice such problems, you can try lowering the
input level of the internal mics. Page 37, “Adjusting
the Input Level: Internal Mic”
* If you’re recording to a CF card, no CD-R/RW drive
operating noise will be recorded.
• Depending on where the CD-2 is positioned in relation
to the sound source, the recorded sound may not be
evenly distributed between the left and right speakers. In
such cases, you can adjust the left/right volume balance
of the internal mics and record your performance
again. Page 39, “Adjusting the Left/Right Volume
Balance of the Internal Mics”

Level Control is turned “On.”
