--- Quote from: whatboutbob on February 07, 2006, 11:12:54 PM ---Something worth mentioning on the clipping indicator though...its not an exact tool...hence neither is the cliplight. It is possible to clip without triggering the indicator. The issues are at least twofold...but I'm running off memory here, which is unreliable at best. I believe clipping needs to exist over two samples before its triggered (eg one loud clap won't trigger it). Apparently it can also get false positives, and just not fire other times. In other words, don't put complete faith in it.

So in short, a clap will not trigger the backlight, regardless of whether it clips. Extended clipping will trigger the backlight...scream into the mics...see what happens. Warn your neighbours first maybe...you don't want cops turning up at your door wondering who's being murdered. :)

it's worse than I thought: not only is only the first recorded chunk checked for peaks (skipping many recorded chunks every time), it also only checks every third sample in that chunk....
however, first tries to fix this have shown a performance problem, so it will required a bit of optimization to get it perfect.
whatboutbob:
Good to see it in CVS petur. Will test it out this afternoon.
What sort of 'performance problem' are you referring to? Just battery drain, or something riskier?
Don't spose you feel like tackling optical recording? I'm hanging out for it, along with quite a few others, but it doesn't seem like any of the devs want a bar of it. :)

I've downloaded the 2/22/06 build but can't see the clip light setting option in recording settings. I verified the cvs is 2/22/06 so the files were extrated ok. Is there something more I need to do?
