8.6 Recordings
Use the Recordings tile to upload audio files and record new audio files. The audio files
supported are .mp3, .wav, .flac, .m4a, .wma, .aac, and .ogg, and can be up to 24 hours long. In
the
User menu , the Messages and Scheduler tiles are able to access any recordings from this
tile.
Use the Preview button to listen to any of the audio recordings.
When adding or editing a recording, its volume will be analyzed based on EBU R128 and ITU
BS.1770 standards. The resulting gain will be used when playing the recording to PRAESENSA.
Make sure that the uploaded recordings are in high quality with low noise. If the gain required
to play back the audio at standard loudness is too high, an information message will appear in
the corner.
