Playback / Record menu 391
Osc / Correl: Opens the oscillograph or phase correlator. The oscillograph displays
the wave form at the input in a scalable window.
The phase correlator displays the phase level of a stereo signal. A vertical line
corresponds to a mono signal, and a horizontal line corresponds to a 180° phase-
inverted signal which usually indicates an incorrect cable connection.
Tuner: For “tuning” guitars and other string instruments. A calibrating line appears
when the A0 note is played. If deviating tones are played, the deviation can be read
on the basis of the calibration line and the numerically indicated pitch is corrected
accordingly.
Record offset: This option allows you to specify an offset, which is calculated in
samples. Sometimes it is necessary to compensate for any delays due to processing
speed and other factors, such as your sound card’s ability to switch between playback
and recording mode. Delays can occur between the recording and the playback of
audio if the "Playback while recording" feature is turned on. This option allows
adjustments if this occurs. Good values to start with are in the 20-2000 sample
range. You can determine this value by playing a project with a distinct start in a
multitrack VIP and recording it simultaneously. You can then measure the offset
precisely using the zoom functions.
Set marker 1: You can drop markers into the project. The current position of the play
cursor is used to drop a marker at positions you want to select for later clean-up or
similar tasks.
Record: Starts recording by activating this button.
Stop: Stops the recording process. Samplitude Music Studio 2013 will ask you
whether you wish to keep the recording or delete it.
Should the computer become overloaded due to swapping data or hard disk access
for example, simply interrupt the recording with a click of the right mouse button or
the space key.
OK: Closes the record parameter dialog.
Shortcut: "R" (second "R" starts recording)
