SureLog is
designed to be as simple as possible - but there are only a few config
options to set before reliable logging can be started... Audio Device Recording Format Filename Format The default
format of %YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%_%HH%%NN% is
advised. Auto Start eg: 24/7 logger - this would be required for typical broadcast logging Hourly Files - this would
be required for typical broadcast logging Use Joystick Button 1 to activate recorder Append to File - continuous Aircheck File
- great for "best of" podcasts and DJ snoops Log Mic Live Positions - for use with SureLogPBK UDP on Port 5010 Archive Files over

The soundcard
used for recording - ensure that you select the Line
In (or Stereo Mix / What You Hear) in
Windows' Control Panel.
The
format of the recording - 128k-320k Stereo MP3 plus Mono/Stereo PCM
WAV.
This is
the structure of the filename that is recorded - You may enter any name here as
well as the following DateTimeFormat tokens
:
Ensures that SureLog begins recording when started.
When this option is enabled, you can only stop the recording by right-clicking
the "Stop Logging" button and selecting "Yes". This is to prevent
accidental logging mishaps. When this option is NOT enabled, you can left-click
to Start/Stop in the normal way.
SureLog
will create a new file each hour - this is the usual method for a radio station
logger. If a file already exists, such as when the clocks go back -
SureLog will create the same time-stamped file but append _new to the filename to denote that it had to create a
new file.
In conjunction with the joystick port, the
recorder can be controlled remotely - ideal for creating a DJ aircheck
recording. Great for podcasts, too!
This will record to the same file:
SureLog Aircheck.wav rather than give you individual
timed files. The purpose of this feature is to provide a single file for
your aircheck recordings - Care should be taken when using/editing a file that
is being recorded! Works in WAV mode only at this time.
In conjunction with the joystick port, SureLog
will log the microphone points during an aircheck. This can be useful when
reviewing a long audio file and you wish to jump to each DJ break
quickly.
Enables
incoming UDP control on Port 5010 - Commands can be send from Enco DADpro32,
Myriad etc. START_SURELOG and
STOP_SURELOG are currently
supported.
Files past this limit will be compressed to
either 64k Mono, 128k Mono or 192k Stereo for long term storage.
Files past this limit will be permanently
deleted - this action is performed each day at Midnight. There is also a
guide to tell you how much storage you will need to maintain the archive at the
current bit-rate/format. eg: 42 days of 192k MP3 takes up approx
84.6GB.
This
is where the audio recordings will be saved - remember that PCM/WAV files take
up a lot of space, so ensure that you have plenty of storage space!
