Recording Enhancements Pack

[Mmmm]

To everyone involved in the REP - thanks so much, with all the recent improvements this is what the H120 should always have been

Mmmm - thanks again for fixing that font overwriting the histogram probrlm - works like a charm.

Great, I'm glad it's working now...any more problems just post

Hi all!
Hmm, it still doesn't compile here. Just 5min ago (ie 21:50 CEST) I did a fresh cvs checkout and redownloaded the REP, applied it (no error/warnings), configured it for H300/Normal build and I get:
In file included from bookmark.c:38:
recorder/icons.h:28:25: rockboxlogo.h: No such file or directory
recorder/icons.h:30:32: remote_rockboxlogo.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [/data/src/iriver/rockbox/bla/build/apps/bookmark.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas ...

Ciao
Norbert

Lots and lots of changes lately! Me likey...  

I believe you current patch breaks the Simulator.
I am not absolutley certain since I have one other (very very simple) patch installed.
But I'm pretty sure.

New h3x0 build available here

[Mmmm]

I'm going to be doing more work on the statusbar patch for a few days and then I'll commit it... which will break the REP again so I'm not going to touch it until then... (although if it's a simple one I might put a new patch up, we'll see...

[Mmmm]

It was very simple...I forgot to put Rincewind's extra files in the patch   That'll teach me for being in a rush eh? Try it now...

[Mmmm]

New patch as I just committed the statusbar patch

It hasn't even come up on the homepage yet! It doesn't get much faster than that!

[Mmmm]

A new addition to the REP. A countdown timer so you can set recording to start at some time in the future (particularly useful for radio recording)

see this thread for more info
Countdown timer thread

Post#1 as always....

Your current H120/140 build appears to be an Aug 31 build.

Thanks to Mmmm. Now everything is perfect!!!!!! Mono and stereo .wav, .WV and .mp3 recording with very good mp3 codecs. Thanks, thanks, thanks .....

Really..oops, soory about that...I've redone it (and now it has the div by zero fix so it shouldnt crash anymore \o/)...

Well, although I'd love to take the credit for everything, I must just point out that none of that was me!

It was that JSMikes bloke....
I just do the tiny insignificant things...If I didn't pipe up here now and then noone would even know I exist!

Thanks for all this great work.
I do not follow every change in development, but just check in time to time.
When I first started the latest recording pack I had the same font on recording screen than the rest of the menues. Next time I started it was back to default fonts and I am not finding the way to change it.
Does it got finally added, so we can have a large font on recording or I saw ghost.
This is a feature I have been waiting, because in many recording situations I just do not see the small font on screen and can not put everything down to get my glasses.

The font changes depending on what you are doing (bear with me, there is a good reason ). You can fit a larger font on the screen if you are using mic in than you can if you are using line in because of the number of lines used for the gain settings, so whichever font you usually use is more likely to be used in the recording screen if you are using mic in. Also if you turn the histogram off (long press mode) you can fit larger fonts in (you can have this off by default by changing the setting in the menu). Oh yes and the smaller you set your peak meters the larger the font you can use.

So what I am saying is that the recording screen checks the size of your user font to see if it will fit on the screen. If it does then it uses your user font, If it doesn't, it uses the default font.

This feature is only in the REP and not the CVS version of rockbox, mainly because it is a bit of a hack. The proper way to do it would be to have either a completely customisable recording screen (like the WPS) where you can make your own screen to fit the font that you use, or have a separate font setting for the recording screen so that you could choose the font that you want to fit your usual setup. Both being rather tricky to implement!

Great, it works. Using xtal-14 and histogram off I have custom fonts in recording window.
All this work you have done makes h140 an excellent portable recorder. I was missing the original external mic line in power first, but after going to better mic with small preamp I get much better S/N ratio and sound quality owerall.
Thanks guys!!

There's nothing missing regarding this in Rockbox.

The line-in connector always supplies mic power - it can't be switched off

Rockbox offers you the full analog and decimator gain range the hardware offers, iriver only offers two smaller and overlapping ranges. You're getting more, not less.

edit: read your post about frying the mic power of your player - that explains it all then...
