Chapter 9 Audio Window 261
Maximum Recording Time (Recommended): xxx Minutes
This parameter defines the maximum recording time for new audio files, in minutes;
this determines the size of the temporary recording file. Before any recording can take
place, a file large enough to hold it must be created on the hard disk.
You can switch this option off, which will create a record file with the size of all
available free space on the currently selected hard disk.
Disadvantage:
• the audio file may be heavily fragmented, if the actual recorded file is much shorter
than the pre-created recording file.
It is strongly recommended that you switch on this option, and set a maximum
recording time.
If there’s not enough storage space available to accommodate the time you have set,
the maximum length of the recording is temporarily reduced. During recording, the
Record float window (the one with the red bar) will display the remaining time.
Global Record Path/Song Record Path
The Global Record Path was available in earlier versions. It is stored in Preferences, and
applies to all songs. The advantage is that you don’t need to define a record path in
every new song before you can record, provided that you don’t mind recording files for
every song into the same folder.
The Song Record Path allows you to organize the audio recordings for each song into
its own folder. The advantage is that when you switch from one song to another, any
new recordings are automatically stored in the current song’s folder, without having to
switch the path manually.
Set
This button can be used to define the path and the file name of the recording file. An
incremental number is added to the name of every new recording. You can create a
new folder (if required) in the dialog box.
To the right, you will see the current volume, and the remaining capacity (if the volume
is registered). If you click-hold the volume, the entire path is displayed. This way you
can see exactly which folder you are recording into.
You can change the path and name whenever you want, via the Set Record Path
function.
When You Choose the Path Remember …
• If the hard disk used by the path leads is not connected or is switched off, the path
will be deleted.
• If you rename the volume, Logic will not be able to find it.
