Project name
Displays the name of the project. The file name is shown when you copy WAV 
files from your computer via USB to the R-44’s SD memory card. File names 
containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) are not displayed correctly, 
but such files can be played.
Time counter
Displays the time elapsed from the beginning of the project to the current 
position in hour:minute:second:1/100 second format.
Progress bar Displays the current playback location relative to the entire project.
Total time (LEN: Length) Displays the total time of the entire project.
Level scale dBFS Displays the sound level for each channel (after adjusting input levels) in real 
time.
The markings are relative to 0 dBFS (Full Scale) of the digital signal. For 
example, 12 indicates -12 dBFS. C is the clipping level (0 dBFS).
Clip level indicators
Channel level meters
Channel names
Displays up to four channel names. When using one stereo channel, 1L and 
1R are shown. When using two stereo channels, 1L, 1R, 2L, and 2R are shown.
For monaural projects, 1, 2, 3, and/or 4 is shown according to the number of 
channels.
When the sensitivity setting is too high and clipping occurs the display is 
shown in inverted black and white.
Output assignments
Displays how the audio of each channel is assigned to the L/R output 
channels.   means that the audio is output to the left channel,   to the 
right channel, and   to both left and right channels. Channels that are not 
shown are not output. 
You can select a channel to be monitored by pressing the Monitor Level 
knob. You can also restore the default settings by pressing and holding down 
the Monitor Level knob for one second.
The output is sent to the PHONES jack, Line output jacks, and digital output 
jack.
*When Output Sel (p. 71) in the system settings is set to “monitor,” the Line 
output jacks output sound as set in the output assignments.
Sampling frequency Displays the sampling frequency and sample size (bit depth) of the currently 
selected project.
