6.2How to Record Your Voice

There are two ways to record from the built-in microphone. You can either use the Instant-Record feature which transfers you to the Record mode with settings already made and the recording started or via the RECORD main menu. If you want to be able to control file name, bit, and sample rates before you begin your voice recording, you should use the traditional recording method via the Record mode.

While at the Main menu or in the Browser mode, you can start an Instant Recording by double-clicking

on the Power button . You will be sent to the recording mode with all the settings preset and the recording started. The file name will be preset to Voice_xx where xx is the next incremental number voice recording. The source will, of course, be set to Microphone. The preset record level will be the value that was set in RECORD submenu settings in the Settings mode. While recording, click once on the Power button to pause. You will see that the state indicator displays Pause. Click on Power again to recommence your recording. Double-click on the power button to stop your recording. You will then be sent back to the BROWSER mode where you will be able to see the MP3 voice file.

Using the Mode button , click it until you return to the Ondio main menu screen. Click now on the Down button to indicate that you want to go into the Record mode. The pre-record screen to your left will be displayed. Hold down now on the Mode button for three seconds. You will go to a question screen.

The Ondio will now give you a list of items to choose from. Use the Down button to highlight item

2, input source, then click on Right in order to change the input source. You will see two input sources. Scroll to Microphone and click on the right button to select it. You will then be sent back to the list of recording options. You can also do the same thing to change the name of the file that will be recorded, the sample rate, or the bit rate. Typically you will find it much quicker to use the Instant-Record method to record your voice. That method, however, is less versatile.

Now that your recording level and parameters are all set, double-click on the Power button to start the recording. If you need to pause, click once on the Mode button . To resume from the pause, click on the Right button . To stop the recording, click the Mode button once to pause the recording, and then click the Mode button a second time to definitively stop it. The recording is now saved as an MP3 file. During a voice recording, the Power button also can control the Pause and Stop as in the case of Instant-Recording.
