Recording a few seconds in advance – the pre-recording function

The pre-recording function allows you to record sound sources for approximately 5 seconds prior to the point when you press souni_recREC/PAUSE. This is useful for recording during interviews or when making an open-air recording so that you will not miss an opportunity to start recording.

A: Sounds for 5 seconds are buffered in the memory.

Note

  • If you start recording with pre-recording function using the built-in microphones, a click noise may be recorded when you press souni_recREC/PAUSE. To record with pre-recording function, we recommend using an external microphone.
  • When the remaining recordable time is less than 10 seconds, the pre-recording function is disabled. Before using the pre-recording function, erase unwanted files.
  • When 60 minutes have passed after the IC recorder entered the standby mode in step 5, the standby mode will be canceled and recording stops.
  • If you stop recording before step 6, sounds buffered in the memory will not be saved.

Hint

  • To cancel the pre-recording function, set "PRE REC" to “OFF” in step 2.
