Record Levels

Record Volume

You should adjust your recording volume to ensure that the level never reaches 0dB during normal recording. Any audio over this level will be 'clipped', which means that it is distorted, losing audio quality.

Voice Activation

When switched on, Voice Activated Recording starts when audio is received, such as when you speak into the microphone, and pauses whenever there is silence.

Levels

The level that is needed to start recording. The recording will pause when the level falls 4dB below the it. This is useful because a microphone will often pick up background noise, but this noise should not trigger the voice activation. You should set the Silence Threshold to be slightly higher than the background noise your microphone is picking up.

Delay Before Deactivate

This will adjust the length of the silence recorded between voice-activated recordings. Recording will continue after you stop speaking for the given duration, before pausing to wait for further input. If you have a low Levels set then you can safely leave this at 0.
