What is an effect?On the R-4 Pro, an "effect" is a process that digitally transforms the sound, giving it greater clarity or impact. Effects can also make the sound more intelligible or reduce undesirable noise. Applying an effect or boosting the level may increase the sound level (volume) beyond the maximum that a device can handle; this occurrence is called clipping. Loud sounds may be accompanied by distortion or crackly noises. The MS mic The MS mic creates stereo sound by combining sound from a main mic that records central sounds (midsignal: M) and a bi-directional mic that records lateral sounds (side signal: S). 59 Effects settings Applying effects You can adjust the R-4 Pro effects not only while standing-by for recording or playback, but also while you listen to the sound during actual playback or recording.
