Recording Level vs Playback Level

Thanks Petur!

Yes, I came to the same conclusion, that the Mono recording was generated as L+R/2.

I made a new lead, stereo, to connect between my (mono) source that put the same signal on the L+R channels. Now when recording in MONO I get full amplitude playback in MONO. (100% on both channels in playback.)

I thought the MONO would just record one channel (the L) but seemingly this isn't the case, it's a mix of L and R together!

Yes, I agree that for my purposes (and others I assume) a menu setting of MONO: L, R or L+R/2 would be a good idea. How is it best to proceed with this request?

Thanks for the confirmation of my findings.

John

I'm already looking into it ;)

Great News Petur!

Thanks for the help with this.

Cheers,
John

Implemented!

Install the latest 'current build' and check out the 'Mono mode' setting in recording settings

Hi Petur,

I've compiled r18746 and installed it.

I see the recording options for the Mono Mode - great!

Recording a 100% Left channel signal, with the recording settings set for "Mono" and "Left", gives a 100% amplitude, mono, wav file when viewed in "Audacity".

This is great!  :)

Oddly, the WPS peak meter shows approx. 66% reading, on both channels, when playing the file back in the iRiver H120 itself?

The mono wav file looks good in Audacity though, so perhaps this is something to do with how the iRiver handles mono files?

I'm really pleased that you've taken the time to add this facility - thanks!

If you have any clues about why the player itself doesn't show the amplitude of the 100% mono recording when playing it I'd be glad, but anyway, you've really helped me!

Thanks again

John
