Pause During Record Without Track Marks?

[djrobin458]

Hi -

Just got an MZ-RH10 for the sole purpose of recording .wav files via microphone. Everything is good so far but I'd like to know if it's possible to pause during record without having a track mark be automatically inserted???

Thanks,

David

Unless the RH10 has that as a new feature, nope. It's there as an indication of a break in the recording.

It's no big deal. You can use the "Combine" feature later; to make the 2 tracks 1.

While you can combine tracks, be aware that some people, myself included, have had trouble combining tracks recorded in WAV. My first WAV recording was auto-trackmarked every five minutes, and when I went to combine them, some of the tracks refused to do so. I asked around here, and while there are no explanations, it seems to be common enough to be known.

Not only that it might refuse to combine, even if it works, you might run into troubles during upload. Here's a recently updated detailed guide for a gapless recording:

Note that despite all my warnings [in the gapless howto] about brief repeated bits in auto-trackmarked recordings, I've only ever experienced such with recordings made with LINE-IN.

Microphone recordings should still be fine to combine, even if you use AUTO TIME MARK. It's the level-based auto marking used with line-in that causes the repeated sections.

I stopped using SS's combine function after having to deal with 30+ hours of line-in sourced recordings, so I can't speak as to whether SS 3.3 has problems with that function, but I'd been using it since v2.2 or so without any problems with mic recordings.
