[evilnick]

Same here with the compiling error. 

[Mmmm]

doh.... get rid of the h* I'll change the patch...oops! 

I've got so many patches hanging about on various street corners I must have put the wrong one up!

Should be ok now...

Just recorded my band's weekend gig using the REP and the recording was wonderful. Big thanks to Mmmm and Vinylivo (and other Rockboxers) for making this happen.

I could use some advice on settings for future recording of live bands. In my last recording session, I kept gain levels low enough that I don't think the AGC ever kicked in. However, I don't fully understand how AGC really works (I've read the thread on it, but I guess I'm a little slow). I'd like to get people's take on how to set up my H140 best for live recording of rock bands. Where should I initially set gain? Which AGC setting (e.g., Safety, Live, etc.)? What should AGC max gain be set to? What should AGC clip time be set to? Any explanation as to benefits of various settings would also be much appreciated.

Thanks!!!!

FOA, great package. Thanks for putting it all together!
Quality recording is basically the reason why I bought an iRiver H140 and installed Rockbox soon after opening the package.

One question though. Is it possible to access the recording screen quickly thru a shorcut ? (ie long click on the Record button, which does nothing different from the short click=turn on the backlight)

Thanks, Wolf.

Not yet.  There is a feature request for that though.

For those interested, there's a new H3x0 build with the latest recenhpack available here

I just tested Mmmm's build with enhanced recording because I am use my iHP 120 often for live recordings - the new features looked good for me.

BUT: I can't change language to German with this build, menu appears and disappears immediately. My fault or a bug???

Would like to have menus in German...

I've just changed to german and I had no problems that i could see... How exactly did you do it and what menus are you talking about?

[k1spanish]

Hi and thank you!

I just copied your build at the player and opened the menu for language but this menu didn't allow to change language setting but closed immediately.

I will download your build again tonight and try. If it works with you it should work with me too I guess, maybe I messed up something last time. I will post the result tomorrow.

k1spanish, to go inside the language menu try moving the joystick to the right instead of pushing it's center (select).

this is how Mmmm's build works for me with menus, I dunno what's the reason for this but pushing select results in showing the menu for 1 second and then rapidly exiting from it.

Ahh yes, AGI, that's the problem....It is a bug in the joyclick insert patch. The bug is that when you have 'Click Insert Options' set to 'original behaviour', a click will select whatever is in the next screen automatically... but as you say, until I fix it, pressing right instead of clicking in is a workaround.

I have the setting on 'Insert' and so never use the click unless i'm adding to the playlist so never encounter this bug! 
Which means I'll probably never get around to fixing it!
Although I have a very long holiday coming up, (just been made redundant! ) so you never know I may have a look at it then!

sorry to hear that Martin. Happened to me 3 years ago but it actually gave me a better (new) job, so don't hang the head...

On topic now: In recent days I've noticed a small glitch when changing gain during recording, and committed a tweak that will reduce it from +/- 12 to +/- 5 samples having a slightly wrong volume. Too bad this seems to be an issue with the audio chip as even writing both gain registers in one go causes the glitch.

I've also rearranged the calls so that, when the glitch occurs, it's always a dip, never a peak, because I think peaks are more audible.

Mmmm: Bad luck mate.  On the up side, I've got 5 mates who were made redundant over the last 5 years (seems to be the way of the world these days).  4 of them got better jobs and the other one used it as an opportunity to set up his own business and is now raking in the dough and loving the work.

petur: Nice work reducing the gain chance glitch.  I was just putting up with it.

[k1spanish]

Great support, thank you for advice with the menus, helps to handle it.

Mmmm: I Germany we say "pressing the thumb" helps somebody else with having luck. I am pressing now!

Hello,
I’m new to the whole Rockbox world.
Where do I download the official “Recording Enhancement
Pack” (link?) and how do I unstall it? I can’t wait to use it
since I’m a musician.
Best,
Ben
