FEATURES
The Field Recorder provides easy-to-use presets for standard tasks like dictation or concert recording. However, it is actually designed for professional use as it provides 50+ options to customize it to the given recording device and situation. Also, external microphones are supported.
Recording and playing of wav files with various sampling rates, mono and stereo, up to the absolute maximum of 4GB, which is 6h45min at stereo/44.1kHz or 37 hours at mono/16kHz. When recording, automatic stop at 4GB and even seamless restart of a new file is available (activate auto start with a low threshold).
Up to 4 seconds pre- and post recording. You won't miss any important stuff even if you are too late at the start button.
Auto start, stop, and continue, depending on loudness. The control signal can be filtered independently to optimize it for voices.
High-precision stereo audio engine with minimum-phase shelving equalizers and stereo balance correction to compensate for flaws of the microphones. Also with recording booster, configurable limiters, soft clipping, and high-definition monitoring.
Wav player with volume maximizer, silent and audible fast-forward and fast-rewind, and low-latency random access to any play position via progress bar.
Stores recordings internally or on any chosen SD card (even if you have two or more SD cards installed). Default is SD card. Optionally makes recorded files visible to your favorite player.
More than 1300 colors available for the metallic-brushed skin! Also, you choose round or rectangular LEDs, left-hand operation, the button size, and your favorite color for the LCD display.
GETTING STARTED
Start with the presets which you select by touching "Factory". Probably, you find a preset in the cloud perfectly adapted to your smartphone! Then choose the various inputs (touch "In:MicA"). If you activate "Monitor", use headphones to avoid an acoustic feedback loop. Check without creating audio files, just by pressing the pause button, which activates the level meters. In the LCD you see a date/time string as the potential file name.
Consider these hints:
- Activate flight mode to further reduce noise floor
- A modified preset is shown in the LCD in gray
- Touching "CLIP" resets clip LEDs, touching the meter opens its configuration menu
- The meter shows peak amplitudes or the start/stop control signal
- Play back uses the PlayLimiter and ignores the Monitor switch, so monitoring can be deactivated during recording
- Active auto start overrules pressing the pause button
- The auto start/stop control signal filter with 1.5kHz is optimized for speech. 750Hz are better with high-frequency environmental noise, 3k reduces low-frequency influence
- Soft Clipping is active above -3dB
- Limiting and Soft Clipping work only if Boost is greater than 0dB
- Recording Boost above 20dB might produce hardware feedback loop caused by the weakness of the phone power supply
- Overwrite and Append modify existing recordings (warning can be switched on/off)
THE FIRST 15 MINUTES
We encourage you to use the Google Play 15 minute return period to check out if recording works on your phone. Especially, try the different inputs from "In:MicA" to "In:MicE".
Some phones permanently apply echo cancellation, or automatic gain control, dynamic range compression, noise gate, voice activity detection, noise suppression, equalizing, or even combinations of them. Let us know if your device is of that kind.
