Pre-Record BarFollowing is further explanation of the use of the pre-record bar in addition to what isalready documented:This bar represents the internal buffering between the media and the HD-P2's audioengine. As the buffer fills up, the bar is filled in from left to right.While recording (or in pre-record) this bar shows how much data, if any, is waiting to bewritten to the media. Typically the bar will be at or near empty as incoming audio iscontinually written to the media. It is possible to know when the media is having a hardtime keeping up if this bar continues to fill up over time and never goes down.Eventually the buffer fills up and recording is stopped with a buffer overrun warning.During playback the bar represents audio read from the media and queued for playback.Depending on the sample rate, the HD-P2 fills 1/4 to 1/2 of the buffer. If the bufferbecomes empty this can be a good indication that the media is having a hard time keepingup with the audio rate. Should the buffer become empty, playback is stopped and abuffer underrun warning is shown.Max File SizeThis setting, under the Project Settings menu, allows the user to determine the maximumfile size of a take (an individual audio file). The range of this setting is 512MB – 2GBand the default setting is 1.5GB.There may be times when smaller audio files are desired to exist within one project. Forexample, when individual takes may need to be burned to CD media as data.As always, the record/playback of audio file (take) transitions is seamless regardless ofthe setting of this menu.Auto MarkersIn addition to dropping markers on audio overs and timecode dropouts, the HD-P2 candrop markers in time increments from 1 minute to 5 minutes. Settings for all three AutoMarkers modes are under the Auto Markers menu under the Project menu.No Fault RecordingThe HD-P2 transparently closes & re-opens audio files every 1.5 seconds whilerecording. This ensures data safety in the event of power loss or other unpredictableoccurrence during recording. |
