what do you want on the recording screen?

<< < (3/8) > >>

JdGordon:
atm it will change to the sysfont if there is < 5 lines visible with the user font. still not perfect, but really the only option because we cant display 2 lists on the screen at the same time (although that might have to be fixed later anyway)

This is absolutely correct. Anything that cannot be changed while a recording is in progress should not be "below the line" (peak-meters) but the current recording settings should be displayed above the line as much as is necessary. Right now what's crucially missing is "input source".

Llorean:
Why is "Input Source" critical? It seems a waste of space to me, as it's something the person should simply set before they start, and it's never going to change while recording.

JdGordon:
Ill reply more fully later, but please dont edit posts unless noone has replied to the thread already. it makes the thread harder to follow

Davide-NYC:
I fixed the thread by moving my reponses around so that they follow a more logical order. Sorry about that.  :-[

Because 'knuckleheads" (like me) will hit record button and not realize that they are not recording anything for a few seconds or, if they are distracted, even minutes!

It's not really wasting any space as the filename has the input source info in it. It's just not always displayed since the front of the filename is sometimes 'hidden'. Insuring that the front of the filename is visible solves this without using up any extra screen real estate. See attached image!  ;D

This image presumes the idea to swap out the "Size:" line with the "File:" line by pressing the UP button.
