Recording Enhancements Pack

[Mmmm]

Cheers Rincewind..I'll do that and I'll tiptoe around the minefield of conflicts Petur has created too

[petur]

:p

Actually, it shouldn't give many conflicts....

Hiya,

Firstly, nice one to everyone involved in rockbox and its enhancements, especially the recording enhancements pack. I bought my H120 specifically for recording and have been very impressed with the capabilities that rockbox brings and the support available!

So, on to my query, and apologies if it's been covered before in the depths of this forum!

Basically, I have the clipping light enabled (useful feature) but it seems to stay on permanently when in the recording screen. This only started happening after I'd changed themes, so I swapped back to the previous one, but the light remained on while recording. I've tried recording with every input source and they're all doing it, and rest assured none of them are actually peaking!

Any ideas whats going on?! I'm assuming its a setting somewhere... Its gonna drain my battery at this rate apart from anything else!

[Mmmm]

Do you mean it's on as soon as you go into the screen or it clips and then stays on forever? are there two little black boxes to the far right of the peakmeter or just a vertical line?

[davehouse]

it clips then stays on forever. There's the black boxes to indicate its clipped. I've just noticed that the black boxes dissapear after a minute or so, after which the light goes out. So its staying on for the duration of the time the peak is indicated on screen, right? Is this how the softwares designed? If so, is there a way of altering the length that the peak is indicated for?

Cheers

You've got it! there is a setting...it's here:
mode->general settings->display>peakmeter->peak hold time

  excellent! Thanks a lot. And good work on the development pack. I'm loving how customizable my little toy is!!

[Mmmm]

Synced with latest CVS and Rincewind's update is included...

No conflicts at all Petur!!! What you put in must have exactly fitted the patch!

Mmmmh---
how did you manage to add this second player on myspace.com?
Can you give me instructions on how to do that?
best,

I've fixed the fonts patch as it stopped working properly (not enough brackets in an if statement )

I've also improved the fonts patch so now it takes into account the mode you are recording in (so maxfont size for spdif > maxfont size for internal mic > maxfont size for line in) and when you change mode your font may change if it fits in that particular mode.
Also the histogram patch now takes this into account too (with the showing (or not) of the batt/bal/disk display)

And I've fixed the display problem reported by Jaybee (thanks) when in digital mode... now everything is running smoothly again

Great..... 

Post#1 for patch and build.... 

amoergosum: bit of an inappropriate place to post that don't you think? 
Try THIS out....Not how I did it, but probably the easiest way!
PS. why havent you done a friend request eh?

Does that mean that AGC + histogram has enough cpu power in unboosted operation (line-in / mic)? I guess you tested it

Well...it appears to be ok....but I dont really know what sort of thing to look for..
dropouts or something else?
Sound is ok on a quick 1min recording....my record button patch works fine which means the buffer is ok and it can write a new file at the same time as recording (it's still seamless).... What else might go wrong?

[petur]

yes, dropouts or the recording stopping completely due to buffer overruns.

Maybe I should add some kind of performance counter like the audio thread has

Ok..I suppose I should test it over a longer period eh?

Sounds like a good idea!

I have slightly adjusted the new patch so that you poor H3xx owners without the lovely spdif connection can also use it...

Damn them and their large 'customisable font' friendly screen......

[paulheu]

the H3x0 experimental build (see post#1) has been update using the latest RecEnh patch..

so there..
