Micro SD Button and LED
ShowBox allows your masterpieces to be recorded live to micro SD card! When the micro SD port
is empty – no card inserted – the SD record button LED remains off. But when a (formatted)
micro SD card is inserted into the port, the SD record button LED will illuminate solid green.
If the micro SD card has not been formatted – or has been improperly formatted – the SD
record button LED will illuminate and quick-flash green. This LED will also quick-flash
green when the storage of the micro SD card is full. No more recordings may be made
on this micro SD card until space has been made (i.e. recordings deleted).
RECORDING TO MICRO SD CARD ON SHOWBOX:
Here is how to record to micro SD card in four easy steps:
In most of these cases, we have seen that that a channel needs to be selected first. That is not the case
with micro SD card recording. All channels will be recorded, regardless of what channel is selected.
1. Single-tap the SD record button to begin recording.
The button’s LED will illuminate and slow flash green when tapped.
2. Single-tap the SD record button again to stop recording.
The button’s LED will stop flashing and instead illuminate solid green once again.
Note: The saved recording is in stereo WAV format at a resolution of 24-bit / 48 kHz.
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each recording you want to make.
You may make as many recordings as desired... until the micro SD card runs out of storage.
4. On the bottom of the breakaway mixer – and above the SD record button – is a CliffsNotes® version of how to record
to SD card... or you could always come back here and read the whole shebang!
A few notes about recording to micro SD card:
The naming convention of the recorded files begins with “REC_001.WAV” and ascends with each new recording
thereafter (i.e. “REC_002.WAV”, “REC_003.WAV” and so forth). That said, feel free to rename the recordings
something that may be a little easier to recall.
Please read the note above first. If recorded file names – “REC_xxx.WAV” – have been renamed (and/or deleted),
the naming convention will still remain the same once the micro SD card has been reinserted into the ShowBox
micro SD slot, but no recordings will ever be recorded over. It will just save as the next “REC_xxx.WAV” in the
naming convention. For example, if the first three recordings have been deleted, yet “REC_004.WAV” remains,
ShowBox will save the new recordings as “REC_001.WAV”, “REC_002.WAV”, “REC_003.WAV”, “REC_005.WAV”,
“REC_006.WAV”, etc. (skipping “REC_004.WAV”) since it still exists.
The recorded WAV files include a time stamp of the date and current time set by the internal RTC.
Main headquarters is located in Bothell, WA (USA), therefore the factory default is set to Pacific Time.
The RTC may be changed to your time zone by doing a firmware update. When a firmware update
is completed, the RTC will sync with the time currently set on the computer that is connected to the ShowBox.
