Checking disk capacity
The Disk Capacity indicator above the meters helps you make sure you
have enough disk space for the recording. This indicator shows the amount
of available disk space on the hard disk specified in the Create Final File
path, or the hard disk you have selected for your temporary files (see “Tem-
porary files” on page 28). Please note that this value is approximate.
When there is less than ten seconds of available hard disk space, the disk
capacity indication is displayed in red.
Start recording!
When all the preparations are done, click Record to start the actual re-
cording.
• If you have selected one of the Auto-start options (click the question mark
icon in the Record dialog), the recording will go into Pause mode (the
Record button will blink), until the specified Auto-start criteria are met.
When recording starts, the Record button will be “lit” and the Recorded Time value will in-
dicate how much you have recorded.
• If you have selected the “Auto-stop after given duration” option, the “Re-
maining Time” value will indicate how much recording time you have left.
• If you like, you can pause the recording by clicking the Pause button at
any time.
The Record button will blink to indicate Pause mode. To resume recording, click the Pause
or Record button again. As described above, a short section of audio just before you re-
sume recording (according to the Pause memory value in the Record Settings dialog) will
be captured.
• You can drop markers in the file during recording by clicking the Drop
Marker buttons.
See below.
• If you want to abort the recording, click the Discard button.
This terminates recording and discards the recorded file.
• Note that if you have activated the option “Confirm when discarding record-
ing” in the Record settings dialog, a dialog will appear asking you to confirm
whether you really want to terminate recording and discard the recorded file.
If you change your mind and select “Cancel”, recording will continue.
• When you have finished, click Stop. You can also have recording stop au-
tomatically by using one of the Auto-stop options. Either way, the record-
ing by default appears in a new window behind the dialog.
