Using The Recorder

Most inbuilt layouts in Myriad include the Recorder in alongside the Media Players.

This provides a quick and simple way to record into the next available (empty) Media ID in your personal range.

1. Simply click on the Record button to start the record process.
   
   
   
   
2. The Record will initially switch to a yellow 'waiting' state. You can see that the next empty Media ID in the Users personal range has been assigned.
   
   
   In this state, the Recorder is monitoring the incoming audio level on the selected audio input device (see Settings Menu > Media Engine Settings > Media Players tab > Record Audio Device to assign audio recording input device). When the audio input level rises about a pre-set threshold (see View Menu > Customise > Playback/Record tab > Level Trigger Record Threshold).
   
   The the input audio volume level exceed the thresshold, the Record will automatically start recording.
   
   You can also click on the recorder to manually start recording.
   
   
3. To stop recording, click on the Recorder.
   
   
   
   
4. You will be asked to confirm saving your recording. Click Yes to save the recording or No to discard the recording (caution - this will permanently delete the recording).
   
   
   
   
5. You can now play your recording using a Media Player or edit using the Edit Window.
