Listing progress is reported in the Communications Window.
7.) If there are files on the device and they have not been
downloaded, and you want to save these files, see the section on
DOWNLOADING
8.) Select the "Sample Rate" and 'Quantisation" settings. These
commands change the "free" recording time available.
A "Sample Rate" of 8kHz captures 4kHz voice which is roughly
equivalent to telephone quality. Alternatively the full voice range
of 5.5kHz can be reproduced using the 11kHz setting.
"Uniform" quantisation provides the best quality as it stores each
voice sample independently. The "Non Uniform " setting uses a
logarithmic scale to store delta differences between successive
samples which increases the record time with only a minimal
quality decrease.
How to make a recording from within the Whisper Player Software
To make a test recording, ensure the microphone is attached to the
Joey, and select "Record". De-select "Record" to finish the
recording. The listing is refreshed automatically at the end of the
recording. Use the "List" command to refresh the list of recordings
manually.
NOTE: Recordings with a duration of less than approximately 10
seconds will not be shown in the directory listing.
The lines of information on the recorder file listing gives the
following information about each recording:
a.) Sequential Number - each file on the recorder is given a
number in sequence which serves two purposes. First, the unique
number gives individuality and identity to the file. Second, the
number tells you how many individual files have recorded with
that device. Your brand new Joey will not start with file number
1, because files are created during the manufacturing and QC
stages of production.
b.) Time - duration of the recording, listed in real time.
c.) Quantisation setting for that recording
d.) Sample Rate for that recording
e.) File size for that recording in kBytes.
Once the files from the Joey are "LISTED", then you can
download and save them, and you can clear the recorder for
future use.
How to Download and Save files
1.) Set up your Download Path. The Download Path tells the
Whisper Player Software the location it will place the file after
the download.
a. On the Command Line at the top of the software
window, left-click on PATH
b. Select DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY, and choose
where you would like your files downloaded to.
c. Your Path will be displayed on the bottom of the
software window. This Path will be maintained by the Whisper
Player until you change it.
NOTE: It is recommended that downloads are burnt directly to
CD using suitable software such as Roxio's Direct-CD package
