Recording Enhancements Pack

[fraide]

I understand that most recording users stay with uncompressed recording, but some of us are using the H1xx for recording classes and 64K mp3s are sufficient.  With that in mind, the disk space warning seems to be based upon uncompressed recording and the recording screen minutes left on disk seems to be based upon uncompressed recording, too.  


IMHO, the disk space warning and the minutes left display should account for the actual recording quality.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that!

hye,

I find 'recording Enhancements Pack' very useful.
But it isn't by default in the Rockbox daily build and i haven't the competencies to encoding my own build.
Before the news 'rockbox daily build improvement' i used your build but it had not been updated since the 13 september 2006 : http://homepage.ntlworld.com/martin.scarratt/Rockbox/rockbox.zip

Please, Could you update it ? I think I'm not the only person who will be happy.
Thanks by advance,
Fraide

I's suggest waiting for MikeS's big recording update to be committed and tested, then patch the REP.

Hey Davide...to speed things up, wanna check the switching and sample rates on my chicken-out version of the patch? It basically works like it did before when you could switch and 11kHz might even go. If it works alright, up it goes.

Hi Guys

Awesome work on the REP and rockbox generally.  I looked at using this sometime ago but back then there was no mp3 recording support.  Even though I'm a complete newbie I found the install pretty friendly and well documented.  But one thing I haven't found so clear is how to follow changes in REP and download the latest.  

I own a H140 and I used the version of REP supplied by Martin Scarratt.  But it would be great if there was a change log or something.  For example there is a pretty serious bug fix here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=6718.0  Is that in the latest REP pack and if not how do I manually apply it?

Many Thanks.

AGC in in the CVS, thus whenever Martin (Mmmm) syncs the REP with CVS any CVS bug fixes will be included.

i am using the REP of Mmmm and could NOT find this bug when using agc-safety-clip.
my post in the AGC-thread thread does not refer to the REP!
using the REP i set the levels way too low and after 10 hours they didn´t boost at all.
so for ME there is no "bug" in Mmmm´s REP although it should be there aswell.
strange .
i will definitely use the REP of Mmmm with AGC-safety clip(maximum gain set at +24dB..I will start the recording with +24dB and AGC will decrease the levels as needed!) for recording the next 3 concerts due in a few weeks!

afair, this bug was only triggered with low signals and substantial differences between left and right. The bug was in the balance correcting code, which didn't take the AGC mode into account.

I think Mmmm's build is from 13 september, so the bug should be in that build. But the circumstances that trigger it are rare enough to not bother too much. I've used AGC a lot and only encountered it once.

Hey hey hey!
Ballance correcting?!?
When, how and why?

[Mmmm]

Hi folks....

I will get around to updating this but unfortunately I had to reformat my drive and so it won't be as easy as usual as I've lost my nice cvs updatable version... It'll probably give me a bad headache so I've been putting it off....

I probably will wait until Mike has got his bit sorted (I think this is a great excuse to put it off a bit longer, Thanks Davide for the idea ).

Oh, and completely off topic, I finally got another job...wooohooooo... So now I can be as busy as you Petur!

[Mmmm]

Well I've finally updated it..... Only the patch for now, I'll do my build tomorrow probably.

I've removed the countdown timer as I now have a better version and I'll probably commit it soon...

and just think of all those new goodies in cvs you can play with now too!

[Mmmm]

Found some time to get it done tonight..... The updated patch and build is in post#1....

[Bedlore]

Thanks for the update.  I've updated my iHP-140 but think I found a bug, I updated to version 061114-2046 but now I seem unable to record an mp3 in mono.  Can some else confirm if this is a new bug please.

[Mmmm]

It seems to work for me... What is the problem exactly?

[Mmmm]

Small update, now the font sizing etc takes the trigger into account if you have it switched on - if the trigger wont fit, it moves up to the second line and shrinks a bit.

[Bedlore]

Perhaps I have forgotten how to set it, but I thought that previously you could into Recording Settings / Channels and select mono recordings.  I definately did this somewhere and I thought Channels was the logical place.  Am I wrong?

Thanks Martin
