The Marker button, a Record/Pause button, and the Done check mark button.
Note:
The maximum file size for a recording is 2GB, which will result in approximately 2 hours of record time. This limitation was put in place to maximize app
performance. Continuous recording for more than 2 hours will generate a second file.
Bit Depth and Sample Rate
Find the Bit Depth and Sample Rate settings in the drop-down menu on the right side of the record window. Select a lower
sample rate when it is useful to have a smaller file, for example, when recording speech or a podcast for download. Select a
higher sample rate for music and dynamic recordings.
If no alternate is selected, MOTIV
will record audio at 24/48 kHz. However, the following bit depths and sample rates are sup
ported.

Recording Tips
Turn On Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb
When you plug a MOTIV device into your iOS device, a warning message prompts you to enable Airplane Mode and Do Not
Disturb mode. It's important to do this to avoid recording interference from phone calls, messages, and various notifications.
Tap X to dismiss this warning message.
Note:
Leave Airplane Mode off to add geolocation information to your audio file.
Record in Mono
Record in mono to increase your available record time or when recording a single source, like vocals, that would benefit from
less ambient noise. Select the
Mono Cardioid
or
Mono Bidirectional
polar pattern and audio from all capsules are summed to a
single channel. The input meter will indicate mono recording by displaying the top half of the waveform. MOTIV supports third-
party microphones with mono recording.
Record in Stereo
The MV88 barrel pivots forward on a hinge and rotates 45 degrees to accommodate portrait or landscape recording. L and R
are labeled to show stereo orientation of the microphone. The stereo image is accurate if the Shure logo is facing upward.
Use the Dark Theme
Select the Dark screen option to change the app display from light gray to very dark gray. The darker display is ideal for dis
creet recording in low-light situations. A darker screen also conserves battery life.
