195 | The \setting{Automatic Gain Control} has five different presets for | ||
196 | automatically controlling the gain while recording. | ||
197 | \begin{description} | ||
198 | \item[Safety (clip):] | ||
199 | This preset will lower the gain when the levels get too high (-1dB) | ||
200 | and will never increase gain. | ||
201 | |||
202 | \item[Live (slow):] | ||
203 | This preset is designed to be used for recording of live shows and has | ||
204 | quite large headroom for loud parts. It heads for a nominal target peak | ||
205 | level of -9dB and will slowly increase or decrease gain to reach it. | ||
206 | |||
207 | \item[DJ-Set (slow):] | ||
208 | This preset heads for a nominal target peak level of -5dB and will | ||
209 | slowly increase or decrease gain to reach it. | ||
210 | |||
211 | \item[Medium:] | ||
212 | This preset heads for a nominal target peak level of -6dB and will | ||
213 | increase or decrease gain to reach it. | ||
214 | |||
215 | \item[Voice (fast):] | ||
216 | This preset is designed to be used for voice recording and heads for a | ||
217 | nominal target peak level of -7dB and will quickly increase or | ||
218 | decrease gain to reach it. | ||
219 | \end{description} | ||
220 | |||
221 | \item[AGC clip time:] | ||
222 | This setting controls how long the level is too loud or soft before the | ||
223 | \setting{Automatic Gain Control} kicks in. | ||

7 | Entering the \setting{Recording} option in the \setting{Main Menu} brings up | ||
8 | a screen in which you can choose to enter the \setting{Recording Screen} or | ||
9 | the \setting{Recording Settings} (see below). The \setting{Recording Screen} | ||
10 | shows the time elapsed and the size of the file being recorded. A peak meter | ||
11 | is present to allow you set gain correctly. There is also a volume setting, | ||
12 | this will only affect the output level of the \dap{} and does \emph{not} | ||
13 | affect the recorded sound. | ||
14 | \opt{SWCODEC}{ | ||
15 | \note{When you start a recording, the hard disk will spin up. This will cause | ||
16 | the peak meters to freeze in the process. This is expected behaviour, and | ||
