Incremental Recording
While recording, you will notice the incremental recording action icon. This allows you to create
incremental recordings. This means that the current recording stops and a new recording instantly
begins. The next recording has an additional number appended to its name. Thus if you create multiple
incremental recordings, you might, for example, have fi les names of REC0000_01, REC0000_02, etc.
This is good for recording old cassettes and old vinyl records. You can click on this icon during the blank space
between each song. That way, each song of the vinyl disk or audio cassette will be one single music fi le.

13.3 Where is the Recording Saved?

13.3 Where is the Recording Saved?
The default location for audio recordings is the folder called Music . This can be changed though. For example,
you click on the Music icon in the main menu and then you choose Browse Hard Drive . Notice that there is the
Launch Audiocorder action icon. Each time you use this button to start the Audiocorder application instead
of the AudioCorder button on the main menu, you set the recording default location to the current folder. For
example, let's say you have a folder called / Music/Vinyls/Soul . If you go to this folder and then make a recording
using the action icon, you will set the default record location to this folder. Now, all your recordings you make with
the Audiocorder icon will be saved in the folder /Music/Vinyls/Soul .

13.4 Audio Editing

13.4 Audio Editing
Audio fi les (only recordings that were made from the AudioCorder icon) can be modifi ed by deleting the sections
you do not wish included. If you would like to edit an audio recording, you have the possibility to cut the fi le down
to the specifi c part you want to keep. In the example below, you have recorded a lecture of 33 minutes and 22
seconds in length. You would like to cut out and save just one particular important section from 12 minutes and
15 seconds to 21 minutes and 5 seconds. The diagram below illustrates the situation.
To keep just this section (cropping it), you will:
56
• Locate this fi le via Browse hard disk in the Music application.
• From the action icons, select the File Management action icon and then select Edit .
• In the edit mode, set the Cut In point (12:15 in our example). This will remove the part of the fi le BEFORE the
desired segment.
• Now set a Cut Out point (21:05 in our example. Please note: As you have cut part of the fi le, this position will
actually be earlier in the fi le now).
• Validate and Save the edit. The fi le will be saved with the word "edit" appended to the fi le name in the same
folder as the original.
• If you do not want to save your modifi cations, click the STOP/ESC button and select OK.
56
Highlight the fi le to edit and select the File Management action icon.
Choose Edit . Only fi les which have been created with the AV 500
recording function will show Edit in the fi le menu. Files created from
CDs or downloaded cannot be edited. Once you enter the edit mode,
the audio fi le will play in a continuous loop so that you will be able to
hear the changes to the edit as you make them.
Use the fast-reverse and fast-forward buttons (LEFT/RIGHT buttons)
to locate the points you want the new fi le to start and end. These are
the Cut In and Cut Out points. Once you have set these points, you
can save the edit. In this example, a new fi le REC0001_Edit will be
made. Your original fi le is left untouched. You will notice that your Cut
In and Cut Out times are marked just below the fi le name.
