7.3.1 Recording Status Messages
The following indicators on the Capture screen will help you to keep an eye on how
well your recording session is going:
Status:
• Ready. SD Card session is loaded, is currently not busy, and is waiting for user
input.
• Recording. Audio is being recorded to any Track(s) that are currently armed for
recording.
• Preparing... The session currently processing an action. This is commonly seen
when attempting to play back a long session after it is first loaded or has just
finished recording.
• Playing. The recorded session audio is currently being played back.
Rec Errors:
• Green. The recording session currently has no recording errors and there isn’t a
chance that an error will occur. The green box will display 0 inside, showing that
there are currently no record errors.
• Yellow. The recording session currently has no record errors, however the SD
Card’s read/write speed are being stretched to the limit. In this case, it is possible
that recording errors can occur. The yellow box will display 0 inside, showing that
there are currently no record errors.
Note: As an SD Card’s storage space is filled, its read/write speed slows down. Because of
this, the Rec Errors indication may turn from green to yellow as the card fills up.
• Red Square. As soon as a recording error occurs, this indication will turn red to
alert you. The number of errors will be displayed in the box. When errors occur,
you will hear a skip or a drop-out in the recorded audio.
Power User Tip: As soon as you see an error display, make a note of the current timeline
position. This will help you to isolate the audio dropout more easily.
