101 \begin{itemize}
102 \item \textbf{Quality}
103 Choose the quality here (0 to 7). Default is 5, best quality is 7, smallest file size is 0. This setting effects how much your sound sample will be compressed. Higher quality settings result in larger MP3 files.
104
105 The quality setting is just a way of selecting an average bit rate, or number of bits per second, for a recording. When this setting is lowered, recordings are compressed more (meaning worse sound quality), and the average bitrate changes as follows.

120 \begin{itemize}
121 \item \textbf{Frequency}
122 Choose the recording frequency (sample rate) {}- 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz (MPEG version 1), and 24kHz, 22.05kHz, 16kHz (MPEG version 2) are available. Higher sample rates use up more disk space, but give better sound quality. This setting determines which frequency range can accurately be reproduced during playback. Lower frequencies produce smaller files, for two reasons. The amount of data to be compressed is smaller and the data is easier to compress, since higher frequencies are not present. \opt{MASCODEC}{The frequency setting also determines which version of the MPEG standard sound is recorded using.}
123
124 \item \textbf{Source}
125 Choose the source of the recording. This can be microphone, line in, or SPDIF (digital). \opt{CONFIG_TUNER}{For recording from the radio on the FM recorder, see page \pageref{ref:FMradio}.}
126
127 Note: you cannot change the sample rate for digital recordings.
128
129 \item \textbf{Channels}
130 This allows you to select mono or stereo recording. Please note that for mono recording, only the left channel is recorded. Mono recordings are usually somewhat smaller than stereo.
131
132 \item \textbf{Independent Frames}
133 The independent frames option tells the \dap to encode with the bit reservoir disabled, so the frames are independent of each other. This makes a file easier to edit.
134
135 \item \textbf{Time Split}
136 This option is useful when timing recordings. If set to active it stops a recording at a given interval and then starts recording again with a new file., which is useful for long term recordings.
137
138 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.
139
140 Options (hours:minutes between splits): off, 24:00, 18:00, 12:00, 10:00, 8:00, 6:00, 4:00, 2:00, 1:20 (80 minute CD), 1:14 (74 minute CD), 1:00, 00:30, 00:15, 00:10, 00:05.
141
142 \item \textbf{Prerecord Time}
143 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.\\
144 Options: Off, 1{}-30 seconds\\
145
146 \item \textbf{Directory}
147 Allows changing the location where the recorded files are saved.\\
148
149 \item \textbf{Show recording screen on startup}
150 If set to yes, the \dap\ will start up with the while recording screen showing\\
151 Options: Yes, No\\
152
153 \item \textbf{Clipping Light}

298 The General Settings menu allows you to customize the way Rockbox looks and the way it plays music. The details of this menu are covered in detail starting on page \pageref{ref:configure_rockbox_general}. 288 sample will be compressed. Higher quality settings result in larger
289 MP3 files.
290
291 The quality setting is just a way of selecting an average bit rate,
292 or number of bits per second, for a recording. When this setting
293 is lowered, recordings are compressed more (meaning worse sound quality),
294 and the average bitrate changes as follows.

310 \item[Frequency:]
311 Choose the recording frequency (sample rate) -- 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz
312 (MPEG version 1), and 24kHz, 22.05kHz, 16kHz (MPEG version 2) are available.
313 Higher sample rates use up more disk space, but give better sound quality.
314 This setting determines which frequency range can accurately be reproduced
315 during playback. Lower frequencies produce smaller files, for two reasons.
316 The amount of data to be compressed is smaller and the data is easier to
317 compress, since higher frequencies are not present.
318 \opt{MASCODEC}{The frequency setting also determines which version
319 of the MPEG standard sound is recorded using.}
320
321 \item[Source:]
322 Choose the source of the recording. This can be microphone, line in,
323 \fixme{or SPDIF (digital). -- show this only when device has digital in!}

327 \note{You cannot change the sample rate for digital recordings.}
328
329 \item[Channels:]
330 This allows you to select mono or stereo recording. Please note that
331 for mono recording, only the left channel is recorded. Mono recordings
332 are usually somewhat smaller than stereo.
333
334 \item[Independent Frames:]
335 The independent frames option tells the \dap to encode with the bit
336 reservoir disabled, so the frames are independent of each other. This
337 makes a file easier to edit.
338
339 \item[Time Split:]
340 This option is useful when timing recordings. If set to active it stops
341 a recording at a given interval and then starts recording again with a
342 new file, which is useful for long term recordings.
343 \newline
344 The splits are seamless (frame accurate), no audio is lost at the split
345 point. The break between recordings is only the time required to stop
346 and restart the recording, on the order of 2-4 seconds.
347 \newline
348 Options (hours:minutes between splits): off, 24:00, 18:00, 12:00, 10:00,
349 8:00, 6:00, 4:00, 2:00, 1:20 (80 minute CD), 1:14 (74 minute CD), 1:00,
350 00:30, 00:15, 00:10, 00:05.
351
352 \item[Prerecord Time:]
353 This setting buffers a small amount of audio so that when the record button
354 is pressed, the recording will begin from that number of seconds earlier.
355 This is useful for ensuring that a recording begins before a cue that is
356 being waited for.\\
357 Options: Off, 1-30 seconds
358
359 \item[Directory:]
360 Allows changing the location where the recorded files are saved. The
361 default location is \fname{/recordings}.
