stereo.

configure how the mono signal is created. Options are L, R and L+R.
10.7. File Split Options
This sub menu contains options for file splitting, which can be used to split up long
recordings into manageable pieces. The splits are seamless (frame accurate), no audio is
lost at the split point. The break between recordings is only the time required to stop
and restart the recording, on the order of 2 – 4 seconds.
Split Measure. This option controls whether to split the recording when the Split
Filesize is reached or when the Split Time has elapsed.
What to do when Splitting. This controls what will happen when the splitting condi-
tion is fulfilled the two available options here are Start a new file or Stop
recording.
Split Time. Set the time to record between each split, if time is used as Split Measure.
Options (hours:minutes between splits): Off, 00:05, 00:10, 00:15, 00:30, 1:00, 1:14
(74 minute CD), 1:20 (80 minute CD), 2:00, 4:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 18:00, 24:00.
Split Filesize. Set the filesize to record between each split, if filesize is used as Split
Measure.
10.8. Prerecord Time
This setting buffers a small amount of audio so that when the record button is pressed,
the recording will begin from that number of seconds earlier. This is useful for ensuring
that a recording begins before a cue that is being waited for.
