Parameter Description
Rec Mon Controls whether the input signals received through
IN1 and IN2 are played out through Out1 and
Out2 to enable you to monitor the recording.
Threshold When threshold recording is enabled, this controls
the minimum sound level required to trigger
recording to begin.
8. Send a signal to the audio Input. The source will play through the selected output if the Rec Mon setting is ON or
Auto. The lower left corner of the Load and Record screen displays the levels of each of the input signals. For best
results leave some room (a few dB) between your loudest level and the max allowed, which is 0dB. If a red bar
appears to the right of the level, the signal is clipping and the level of the input signal should be lowered for best
quality.
9. To start recording, hold the REC button while you press the PLAY button. If you have the global Lead In option
enabled (See Use Tools to Customize Your Blackbox below), Blackbox will wait four beats and then will start
recording. If you are using threshold recording, the recording will start once the input level meets the threshold level
specified. If you selected a time value for Length, recording will stop after the selected length of time. The Load
and Record screen displays a running clock of measures and beats and time duration of the recording. There may
be a delay between when you touch Rec and when the recording starts as blackbox waits to quantize the recording
to the selected Rec Quant time interval. See Synchronize Playback with a Clock below for more information about
clocks and quantization.
10. Touch Stop to end recording. There may be a delay between when you touch Stop and when the recording ends
due to quantization. When the recording has stopped, the main screen is displayed with the new WAV file loaded in
the selected pad. The clip name will be RC with a numeric suffix. We will discuss changing file names and
managing WAV files in Managing WAV Files below.
After you record a WAV file, that file is available for use in other pads and presets as well. The WAV file is saved on the
microSD card with a file name the same as the name on the screen with a .WAV file extension.
If you have the Tools setting RecToPlay set to ON (Push TOOLS, then push INFO to see this setting), blackbox will
automatically start to play the new sample when recording ends if the Length parameter was used for recording.
Note:
If you record into a loaded pad, the original WAV file remains intact on the microSD card and a new WAV file is
•
created.
If you have RecToPlay set to ON in the Tools pages, blackbox will automatically start playing the new sample
•
when recording ends if the Length parameter was used for recording.
You can turn off the Lead In and Metronome on the Tools pages.
