Zoom H5/UG/08 Recording/12 Backup Rec

• Backup recording

  • Backup recording works only with the L/R input and with 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz WAV formats.
  • Along with the normal recording, the H5 records a second file from the L/R input at a level 12 dB lower. If the main recording distorts because the level was set too high, the backup can be used instead.
  • 1. Press MENU, then use the scroll button to select REC > In L/R BACKUP.
  • 2. Select ON, then press the scroll button.

  • Note/Info The backup file takes the original name with _BU added. A recording named ZOOM0001_TrLR.wav gets the backup ZOOM0001_TrLR_BU.wav.
    

  • Note/Info No backup file is created if the L/R input is not selected.
    

  • Note/Info The LO CUT and COMP/LIMITER settings do not affect the backup recording.
    

  • Note/Info To play a backup, select and play the file whose name ends in _BU. In MULTI FILE mode, assign it to a track as described under "Assigning files to tracks" in Zoom H5/UG/08 Recording/13 Overdubbing. In STEREO FILE mode, pick it from the file list: Zoom H5/UG/09 Playback/02 Select from Lists.
    

  • Note/Info Backup recording uses more SD card space.
