Making a Recording
The file format created within the FlashMic includes a record of the date and time
at which the recording was made, together with textual information – entered via
FlashMic Manager software – to aid later identification of recordings. Nevertheless,
it is good recording practice to keep a separate written or electronic recording log
during a recording session in the field, as many similar-sounding files may often be
created.
Keeping such a log is recommended. It will frequently ease the task of identifying
your recordings after they have been transferred into a computer for further
editing.
To initiate a new recording, press the red REC button (G). The REC flag in the
display and the REC LED on the FlashMic’s rear panel both illuminate.
Recording Display
To stop the recording, press the M/STOP button (M). The text
SAVING appears in the display, and after a brief pause, the IDLE display resumes, with
the track number being indicated.
Saving Recorded Track
Factory settings:
Settings of recording format, record level, etc., will generally be made via the system
of configuration files and presets within the FlashMic Manager software. However,
the FlashMic comes with a set of factory parameters enabling it to be used “out
of the box”, without any recourse to FlashMic Manager. See Using the Default
Configuration, page 28 for a list of these parameter values.
The bargraph meter in the display provides an indication of the recording level.
The main display indicates the remaining recording time, and counts down.
When there are 10mins. of record time remaining, the display backlight, the record
LED on the FlashMic base and the REC flag in the display will all flash. The FlashMic
will stop recording when there is 1min. of recording time remaining; this is to allow
for data error correction.
The record LED can be turned off, if for example, the FlashMic is in camera shot. To
do this, press and hold the PLAY button while the FlashMic is in REC Mode; the display
will show LEDOFF. The LED can be re-enabled by repeating this action while still in REC
Mode. Note that the LED will always illuminate initially when REC Mode is selected.
