File Recorder Menu

Omnia.9 features three built-in file recorders that allow you to capture audio from various points within the processing chain
onto a USB flash drive or internal hard drive.
Before you begin, select the "Name" input field and assign a name to your new file. Then choose which processing core (FM,
HD-1, HD-2, HD-3, Stream 1, Stream 2, or Stream 3) you would like to record.
Next, pick a patch point from within the processing chain. Finally, enable "Rec" to start recording.
The Vox control, when enabled, pauses recording when no audio is present and has a selectable timeout setting.
♦
The Gain slider controls the input level into the recorder. If you record a patch point with levels above 0 dBFS (for
♦
example Post Undo), you will need to attenuate it here by turning the level down, to avoid clipping during recording.
Recording an MPX patch point has -3dB built-in attenuation, so no further attenuation is necessary to yield a -3dB peak
MPX file, suitable for use in a modulation monitoring software program such as MpxTool. If you select Wave 32-bit, no
attenuation is necessary.
The Format drop-down lets you choose the resulting file format.
♦
FLAC Lossless will yield a 16-bit FLAC file.
FLAC Reduced adjusts the recording resolution to match the actual noise floor of the audio, allowing you to record a full hour
of off-air MPX audio in a file size of only 500mb. The resulting FLAC file can still be read by any program that supports FLAC.
Wave 32-bit will field a 32-bit IEE floating point WAV file, and this is the ideal format for recording a patch point with high
levels, as 32-bit Wave files have headroom above 0dBFS just like Omnia.9 does internally.
Wave 24-bit and 16-bit yield 24- and 16-bit wave files, respectively.
MP3 High will yield a 320kbps MP3 file.
