Maximum Recording Time (Recommended): xxx Minutes:
This parameter defines the maximum recording time for
new audio files in minutes; this determines the size of the
temporary recording file.
You can switch this option off, in which case a record file
as big as the whole free memory from within the currently
selected hard disk will be created.
Disadvantage:
– the audio file can be heavily fragmented, if the actual
recording time is much less than the maximum avail-
able value.
It is strongly recommended that you switch on this option,
and set a top limit for the recording time.
If there is not enough storage space available, the maxi-
mum length of the recording is temporarily reduced. Dur-
ing the recording you can see how much time is available
in the Record Float window (with the red bar).
When you enter the Recording Time remember…
Important: the display of the remaining memory and the
maximum recording time depends on the following fac-
tors:
– the number of tracks which are to be recorded simulta-
neously.
– the sample rate.
It is always advisable to choose a much smaller value than
the maximum possible recording time. Otherwise after
the first recording there will not be enough space for fur-
ther recordings unless you reduce the value.
Global Record Path / Song Record Path: The Global Record
Path was available in earlier versions. It is stored in Pref-
erences and applies to all songs. The advantage is that you
don’t have to define a record path in every new song before
you can record, providing you don’t mind recording files
for every song into the same folder.
The Song Record Path allows you to organize the audio re-
cordings for each song into its own folder. The advantage
here, is that when you change between different songs,
any new recordings are automatically stored in that song’s
folder, without having to switch the path manually.
Set: These buttons can be used to define the recording
path. You can create a new folder (if required) in the dialog
box.
To the right, you will see the current driveand the remain-
ing capacity (only if the drive is registered).
