Recording Enhancements Pack

[Mmmm]

Yep whataboutbob, that sounds about right!

In case you hadn't noticed the gain patch got committed today HOOORAHHH....... so the patch will now fail until I make a new and much shorter one...BOOOOOOO... ;-)

Better get my coding gloves back on again :-)

I get the feeling though that before The remote patch gets committed I'll have to submit a patch for general peakmeter support on the remote (for rWPS). and I haven't even looked at how the WPS code works at all....hmmmm..

We may be able to get the cliplight in first though, it should only take a small amount of tweaking to repair that patch!....Who knows...

I wouldn't hold your breath about changeable fonts though. That's going to take a lot more thinking about.....

Ahh well...one step at a time eh? :-)

[whatboutbob]

Congrats Mmmm & Petur!

[renho3k]

ahh, thx for clearing that up RE: clip light.

congrats Mmmm/petur/thomas & whoever else worked on this patch. one small step for patchers and one big step for rockbox recording! it's a good thing i just learned how to patch...

[keytotime]

This is my favorite part of project like rockbox. They really do appreciate there user's. It's really great to have this patch commited.

congratulations Mmmm and Petur!

[Mmmm]

Ta for all the Congrats :-)
I hope everybody went and had a beer to celebrate! :-D
Lets hope we can get the rest committed...

I've updated the patch and the builds and put them all in post#1 (including changeable fonts patch and build)...

[petur]

Lets hope we can get the rest committed...

Lets see what we can do

[Mmmm]

Another update...
The cliplight now also has the settings:

Off
Main unit only
Remote only
Remote and main unit

Just in case you have a hamster in your pocket and it doesn't like being woken up all the time by the annoying flashing of your clipping recorder!

You see...I think of everything :-D

Updates in post#1

You really do think of everything!  Thanks so much for keeping the build up to date for the H1XX.  Hopefully the rest of your enhancements will be committed soon.

A big thank you to Mmmm for his huge advances in the recording facilities.  I've been using the H140 to record birdsong, and his enhancements have taken the guesswork out of estimating volume and distance by ear. At this time of year most song is at dawn and dusk, so the ability to increase font size in poor light conditions has really helped.  The ability to switch from locked L/R gain to separate L and R using the joystick is ingenious too.

I'm puzzled though by the dots indicating scale for the peak meters. My range is set to -40 to 0 dB, scale is logarithmic, but the first five dots are equally spaced as are the last five dots (which are closer).  This means that they are not spaced logarithmically, so does that mean that they have no actual interpretation as dB?

Finally, I'd like to support the proposal in an earlier post to have the peak meter settings available from the recording settings menu. Optimal settings vary between bird species, and quick access would speed up adjustments before the bird flies off!

Please keep up the excellent work.

Mmmmm, is it possible for you to make a new build with the newest build since the thump during playback has been fixed? (RE: after this commit - 13 Feb 16:55   Brandon   apps/pcmbuf.c 1.29     Don't boost from inside the DMA interrupt, ever )

 I would patch it myself but i cant seem to get the dev stuff to work right on my machine.

[ericzang]

I also second the request to make a new build with the "thumpless" version. Thanks!

[Mmmm]

I will make a new build but i'm on holiday at the mo so no dev environment to do building on I'm afraid 
But give it a few days and i'll be back... and I'll compile all the builds you want! 

[toolmanwill]

Great, Thanx!! BTW, how come your builds dont include the themes and wps folder contents? Is there problems when including these files with your patched build?
Just curious.

[Mmmm]

No probs, it's just quicker when I'm testing as it takes ages unzipping all those bmp files, and seeing as it doesnt change very often (and I never use it at all) I didn't think it was that important! The build in my sig has them I think.... but no changeable font...would you like them in the changeable font version?
