My Nomad Menu
The My Nomad menu sets the parameters of the primary recording and mirroring functions of Nomad.
Please note that Nomad will automatically create a new file when the file size reaches 2GB. This will be a
seamless transmission with no loss of audio. The take number will add the letter a letter for each time
Nomad creates a new file. So for example if the first take is over 2GB the take numbers would be Take1
and Take 1a.
Mirror Mode Options
• OFF - Nomad will not mirror any files.
• ON - Nomad will only start to mirror a file once the unit has gone into stop mode.
• CONTINUOUS - When Nomad is recording, the audio is copied to the mirror card immediately after it is
written to the primary card. Depending on the track count, the mirror card may lag behind a bit. Not to
worry, after you go into stop mode, the mirror card will catch up.
If you are finding that continuous mirroring is lagging you may be using too much of Nomad’s processing power
elsewhere. Many times there are items that are on that are on are not needed. These items can often be shut
off to conserve processing power and speed up the mirroring process. You can check to see that some of these
items are not unnecessarily on: bus assignments cross points, compressor enables (input, output and card),
high pass filters.
Write Sound Report
When selected, Nomad will create a sound report of the recorded files and write it on the mirror CF card. The
sound report contains the metadata information for what was entered. To write a sound report mirror mode
must be set to OFF.
