Adjusting Record Level

!Adjustment of Record level is only possible if the FlashMic has been set (via the FlashMic Manager software) to permit configuration changes by the user. See the section on FlashMic Manager for more information.

The recording level is adjusted with the jogswitch. A SHORT UP TURN or DOWN TURN while in REC mode displays the text RVOLnn, where nn = the current level. (Unlike monitor level, the units are not arbitrary, being increments of approximately 1dB; 01 = min, 40 = max.) Further SHORT UP or DOWN TURNS will nudge the record level up or down.

When the record level is reduced to minimum, the AGC system is selected and the display shows RV AGC. In this mode, FlashMic automatically adjusts recording level according to the sound level. In most situations, this ensures that a recording of usable level will be made, but as with all automatic gain systems, a degree of background noise “pumping” may be audible on the recording.

It is also possible to adjust the FlashMic’s recording level from IDLE mode, using the menu system. See FlashMic Menu System, page 18.

Note that the record level always resets to the last value used when the FlashMic is switched on, and not to the value set as part of the preset by FlashMic Manager. (See section on FlashMic Manager for more information on presets.)

Replaying Tracks

A recorded track may be replayed for auditioning purposes.

To replay the last track recorded, press the PLAY button (H). The PLAY flag on the LCD display illuminates. After a brief pause, the display shows the elapsed time of the track. The recording may be monitored via the PHONES connector. At the end of the track, the FlashMic will resume IDLE mode. Pressing the M/STOP button during replay will also return the FlashMic to IDLE mode. To pause playback during play, press PLAY again. The LCD display will show PAUSE. Play can be resumed by pressing PLAY again, or stop mode can be entered by pressing ‘MENU/STOP.

A LONG UP TURN on the jogswitch will “fast-forward” the track (FFW mode), to enable a particular section of the track to be located. Similarly, a LONG DOWN TURN “rewinds” the track (REW mode). The time display continues to show the track time during these ‘fast’ modes.

To select and replay a track other than the last recorded, decrement the track number with SHORT DOWN TURNs on the jogswitch. (A LONG DOWN TURN will decrement faster.) UP TURNs will similarly increment the track number. When the required track number is displayed, press the PLAY button to replay the track.

It is also possible to select a different track while remaining in PLAY mode; SHORT TURNs of the jogswitch will skip to the next or previous track, depending on the direction of rotation. Be careful not to make LONG TURNs, as the FlashMic will instead enter FFW or REW mode, as described above.
