2.2 RECORDING SETTINGS

Quality
Choose the quality here (0 to 7). Default is 5, best quality is 7, smallest file size is
0. This setting effects how much your sound sample will be compressed. Higher
quality settings result in higher bit rate MP3 files.
Frequency
Choose the recording frequency (sample rate). 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz, 24kHz,
22.05kHz, 16kHz are available. Higher sample rates use up more disk space, but
give better sound quality.
