Recording Sources
The recording sources available to you depend upon the capabilities of your soundcard and
the driver that is installed. To choose the source for the next recording, select ‘Control-
>Recorder->Source’ from the menu. You can expect to see ‘Line In’, ‘Microphone’, and ‘Stereo
Mix’ options, possibly more depending on your soundcard.
The ‘Stereo Mix’ option allows you to record audio that is currently being played through
your soundcard, for example audio from a video or audio file being played in the Playback
screen.
VOX Automated Recordings
Automated start/stop of recordings can be useful when recording conversation or
monitoring sources where long periods of silence are anticipated. To enable or disable this
feature, select ‘Control->Recorder->VOX Start/Stop’ from the menu. To alter the trigger
values for this feature, click on the ‘start’ or ‘stop’ values on the recorder screen. The value
increments in steps of 5dB from –40dB to 0dB.
Split Recordings
Recording sessions can be split into recordings of set durations. Select ‘Control->Recorder-
>Split Recordings’ from the menu and then choose the required duration of the recordings
from: 30 Seconds, 1 Minute, 2 Minutes, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 30 Minutes, 1 Hour.
To enable the split recordings feature, select ‘Control->Recorder->Split Recordings->Enable’
from the menu.
Recorder Cut List
The recorder cut list contains details of tracks in the currently selected Recorder Folder. The
recordings are listed in date/time order, with the most recent recording first. If a recording
is currently being made, this will be displayed first, and will display a duration of ’00:00:00’
until the recording is stopped.
To change the default location of new recordings, select ‘File->Default Folders->Select
Recordings Folder’ from the menu.
