Recording Enhancements Pack

[petur]

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.

Welcome on board Ben!

The recording enhancement pack is not an official build and thus unsupported (but users here can help). It consists of the official build with a number of patches added. Some/most of these patches will get into the official build sooner or later.

You're free to try both the official and this build and see what suits you. The build discussed here is linked to from the signature of Mmmm. (Martin correct me if I'm wrong)

Hi Petur,
thanks for your reply!
I just downloaded the latest Rockbox build....
Yeeeeah! I love it!
But back to the REP;
So I would have to install Mmmm's build, right
or can I somehow only add the REP now?
What are the differences between his build and the latest
official one (only the REP?) ?

Hello,
I just installed Mmmms build with the REP.
Incredible! I loooove it...
The only thing not working is seeing the same recording screen
as shown in the 2 pictures of this thread's first post (the ones
with the wave pictures on the bottom).
Can anyone help me out there?

afaik, one or more patches were dropped because they were no longer compatible with the official build - the creator of the patch or some other interested soul needs to update them. So the screen may have changed a bit, yes.

Hi,
I just wanted to copy a minidisc to my IHP-140 (line in).
Now if I play the minidisk and connect the two players I
see that the Iriver display shows 2 different gain  numbers (gain right/gain left).
I have to set gain right&gain left to the same levels, right?
I set them both to 19dB.

Update: I started the recording and the weird thing is that
              the gain right/left numbers changed by itself after a while.
              Now gain right is 19.5 and gain left 18.5. Weird...

[petur]

You normally set the L/R gain numbers the same unless you have a special reason not to (like L/R input signal not equal)

If you're using the recording enhancement pack, it has AGC functionality. Disable it (in recording screen, go to the menu, last line)

Anyone heard anything from vinylIvo recently? I'd like to see and update to the histogram patch to go with the current AGC build.. I kinda miss the pretty pictures..

Thanks for all the votes of sympathy I appreciate it My next job is just going to be great I know

That's right, and the patch is in the first post of this thread along with the out of date screen shots and all that
(Sorry for the confusion amoergosum, I suppose I should get them updated eh?)

I've been using the REP and absolutely love it. I've found the following problem with SW version 060604-1858 (although this may be a problem in the main code branch as well, no idea).

I have "Show Recording Screen on Startup" set to "yes". When I startup, I'm immediately on the recording screen and everything is fine EXCEPT I can't monitor audio through the headphones. The level meters are responding and it in fact records just fine, I just can't hear a thing. To actually hear the audio, I need to press "Stop" to go to the "Recording Screen|Recording Settings" screen and then if I go back into the "Recording Screen", everything is fine.

This happens with headphones plugged into the remote or plugged directly into the main unit.

Thanks to all for the great work!

Hi Lurker...sounds as if that could be a problem with the normal build...would you mind testing it? Cheers...

Just checked this and it works fine on my h340, so the cvs build used with line-in and mic should be ok. Just can't test spdif...

[petur]

I just updated the unboost recording patch:
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5457

It should be fine now for spdif (boosts if recording from spdif, as before).

If possible, please test

[Mr. Brownstone]

Is this compatible with the AGC patch?

Will test this w/e if no-one else gets to it first.

Petur, did you test the 2GB auto-split since you removed boosting?  Saw you mentioned that there seemed to be a gap in playback, so I'm just making sure that is is just an issue with long wav playback, not the actual recorded files not being seemless...cos it was working ok a couple of months ago (last time i tested).
