Recording Enhancements Pack

[larry_llama]

heh, you definitely dont want the crap american domestic we got here.   :'(
Altho i'm 5 minutes from canada and they brew some good beer!

I'm zero minutes from Canada, and you're right!

To the devs in this thread: Thanks so much for bringing out the best in this little piece of hardware that the uninformed simply call "an mp3 player". All of us recording nuts appreciate it!

more dumb questions from the uninitiated:

• Rockbox must be installed before one can add the Recording Enhancement Pack, yes?
• However, if not so, any chance that is could be used on the iriver iFP series?
• Or could it be used on the iFP series once there is a Rockbox for them? ( which I was just told hopefully will come )

[Llorean]

Yes, the enhancement pack just enhance's *rockbox's* recording features.

This does mean that whenever Rockbox does support recording on iFP players (still a long time off probably) that it will affect them too in most probability.

@ Mmmm:
Yeah I know about localization (language support) and menus and everything. I just have to code it and this takes some time (as you know), and of course I'll do it because I'm interested too that more people can profit from the work...

About the beer, my home is little switzerland. So there are some special ones too but I don't believe they're a concurrence to the belgium stuff (I just recently was there so I know :-)

If you live near a ski-area, I'm sure we could arrange something else

hi

I am using the  Mmmm build (downloaded 22nd feb) - sorry to say I just noticed that i  having serious troubles with recording. I get these real bad clicks in my recording from time to time, no idea what is going on there, sounds like digital dirt though...
anybody else have any troubles? is that a know bug that has been fixed, or is my iriver going bad ?

Are you using it in combination with voice menus? An issue with that was recently reported...

If not: any more details? How to reproduce, gain settings, a part of the file to look at perhaps?

[dr.pheel]

hi,

as far as I remember I had the rec volume quite high (somewhere round 27db) - it seems to happen rather at the beginning of a file (about 20-30 sec into the file - noising for bout 1min), but then stops and doesn't happen again til the end (whole file about 7min long)
I recorded with an external mic (sonyecm-ms907)
I had that problem at least three times (and I'm quite sure it had aslo happened with an earlier Mmmm build) - I did also have a few files without that problem too.

no voice menues, the only thing I could mention that I had used the metronome before recording...maybe that's really the problem, as I think about it now...

(I used to do recordings without problems befor the rec enhancement pack)

how do I attach a file that is larger (I tried attaching a 700kb mp3 file, but it was obviously too large...)? - now I tried shorter mp3 files, but it tells me mp3 is not alowed??? how can I attach a sample??

hope those details will do...thanks a lot for trying to help!

This forum has a stupid limitation. You have to rename the file for example to *.txt.

[dr.pheel]

ok

so here are two mp3 samples of the noise i had on my recording.

well...that didn't work, didi it? if i download the .txt files and rename them to mp3 - they are broken...

Try re-uploading them as "doc" files instead of txt.

hmmmm... I just remember I recently broke pre-recording, this happened around the time you described in your original post. The effect was that it would do the endian conversion twice during prerecording, making it sound as noise. I fixed my error 27 feb in the evening. I'm not sure if it causes noise at the end as well.

So: do you have pre-recording on, and could you try with a recent official build - not the enhanced recording pack?

[dr.pheel]

I'll try what you just posted, here a nother try on the files...
might have had pre recording on...
so the official build contains all teh new rec features now?

I don't know what the rec features of Mmmm are, but the official build has

• combined gain setting
• cliplight

And I'm going to use it tonight to record a show...
