Options for automatic track marker recognition
In this dialog you set the options for the function "Set track markers
automatically" For more information read the "Automatic track recognition
(view page 70)" section in the "Editing in the track view" chapter!
Minimum length of pauses: This is the time that the audio material must
remain below a certain level in order to be recognized as a pause. The longer
this value, the fewer pauses will be detected. If the value is shorter, there is a
possibility that short silent sequences in a title might be recognized as a pause.
Minimum length of tracks: A new pause will only be recognized once this
amount of time has passed since the last track marker. If you are recording a
tape with a pop song and want to write it on CD, you can set this value to 3
minutes. But if the tape contains short sound samples, the value has to be
consequently much shorter.
Maximum level for pauses and Minimum level for pauses: During the first
step, the program searches for a suitable volume level for the pause detection.
With these two parameters, you can limit the results before the process
continues. If too many pauses were detected, then you should move both
sliders more to the right. In the opposite case, move them to the left.
Detection of LP and cassette sides: In certain occasions you might want to
record both sides of an LP immediately one after the other, without interrupting
the recording at the computer. The result is normally a very long audio file that
includes a very silent passage in the middle of the recording (the moment when
you turned the LP or CD over). The program detects this as only one section
and splits the object into two new objects and tries the same with both of the
resulting objects. In the best case, even the noises produced while turning the
LP or cassette over will be eliminated. You can increase the precision of this
process, adjusting the minimum length of the side of your LP or MC. Here are
a few proposals:
Single: 10 minutes
LP: 15 minutes
60 min MC: 25 minutes
90 min MC: 40 minutes
