Pre RecordSilent Skip

When PreRecord is on and the PMD661 is in record pause, it listens to the selected audio input(s) and continuously buffers 2 seconds of audio. Then, when record is started, the PMD661 writes the previously buffered 2 seconds of audio to the card and continues to record from there.

Setup the “PreRecord” of the preset menu. (P.44)

The Silent Skip automatically pauses recording when there is a period of silence and resumes recording when sound resumes.

“Silent Skip” menu setting permits:

Adjusting the margin sound level that defines silence in Off, –60dB, –54dB, –38dB, –20dB.

Setup the “Silent Skip” of the preset menu. (P.45)

Manual Track

When the Manual Track (Manual Track incrementing) is on during recording, press the FUNCTION button until “TR” appears on the display, then press the (F1: TR) button to increment the audio file. A new audio file is created at that point. The continuity of sound is not guaranteed and depends on the speed of a card or the audio file size.
