Triggering by a set threshold

When you’re using threshold-triggered recording, you can choose to record continuously: set a buffer size, and Sound Forge software will record to fill the buffer, discarding the oldest data as new data is recorded. If you want to save data from the buffer, you can save it to disk.

1.Click the Record button () on the transport bar, or press Ctrl+R. The Record dialog appears.

2.From the Method drop-down list, choose Automatic: Threshold.

3.Choose the destination data window for your recording. By default, the software records into the active data window. If this is not where you want to record, use one of the following methods to prepare for recording:

depth, and channels) for the new file. Click OK to return to the Record dialog.

 

 

Note: The maximum number of channels recorded depends on the data window where you're recording. For example, if you enabled six inputs on the Record tab in Audio preferences, you need to record into a six-channel data window to record all six inputs. If you record to a stereo data window, only two inputs will be recorded.

To route inputs to channels in the data window, click a channel number and choose a new input port from the menu.

To determine which inputs are recorded, type a value in the Channels box. For example, you could type 1-4to record channels 1 through 4, or type 1, 3, 4 to record only channels 1, 3, and 4.

4.From the Mode drop-down list, choose a recording mode. For more information, see Choosing a recording mode on page 141.

b.Drag the Release slider to set the amount of time the audio level should be below the Threshold setting before recording will stop.

c.Select the Automatically rearm after record check box if you want to continue monitoring audio levels and recording until you click the Stop button ().

6.Click the Arm button () in the Record dialog. Recording will begin when the audio signal meets the threshold level and will stop after the level falls below the threshold for the specified release time.

7.To end audio monitoring and recording, click the Stop button ().

8.Click the Close button to close the Record dialog.
