Probably this pricipially is the same thing that Martin wants. I can manage the trigger for that. But as the trigger can (and should) define a minimum duration of the threshold the split has to happen 'in the past'. That's a bit difficult for me. But I'm sure with some help of Linus these difficulties can be overcome, too. > If I want to record a live set of our band, I don't have time to > monitor the levels all the time. Which makes me realize that it isn't possible to change the trigger settings while recording at all yet. Another thing to do :) > While writing this, I had another idea of a completely different approach: > Why not simply record all the time and create a cue-file in parallel > according to the trigger thresholds?

What about modes like "Off", "Stop & Go" and "Split" then? > I hope this helps a bit, You and Martin are really great help that I appreciate that very much! Thank you. Yesterday I used the triggered recording for the first time while band practice. It worked flawlessly - until the batteries were drained after 3 songs. :( Phil Received on 2004-01-06 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
