Problem: erasing audio from memory

10 Jan 2010, 13:49

Hi,

I just bought the Juno-G and haven't upgraded the memory yet so I'm still at 4mb. Just to learn I recorded some audio tracks. When I go to erase the audio the tracks get erased and it seems to clear (the track names get erased and the track data looks to be erased but if I try to record again it says sample memory full and if I look at the system memory it says 0% free where it should say 4mb. Is this a bug or am I not erasing audio the correct way?

Here's how to see the bug:
click (these are all button presses) Perform/song/audio track/rec then click start (F6). I allowed to record until it stops by itself with the message: error sample memory full! If you hit cancel it looks like the audio and track info gets erased. Now hit record again and the message: sample memory full! pops up. This should allow you to record another audio track but for some reason the memory is not being erased. It does the same thing when I assign the track and try to erase it.

This is not a bug at all... If you read the manual, you'll see that the audio recording you cancel stays in the recording list (I think you need to press AUDIO TRACK twice to get there). This is a feature that allows you to use your recording as a sample (play it from the keyboard) and not insert into an audio track. So all you need is go to the recording list and clear the samples there.

Thanks, I'll try that. I have read the manual, it's just a lot to take in the first time (which is good, I'm very impressed so far).

Btw: for people having this issue in the future it's the sample list, and to access it you press EDIT [AUDIO] then F4(list) or pressing [AUDIO] toggles between the sample list and sample edit screen.

Man, I remember when I was trying to figure out the basics. Looks like you worked out that little bug.

I just wanted to share something about Audio Imput recording that I learned: There is an Audio Imput volume knob in the back of the workstation. It is a skiny little knob by the imput jacks. You will want to have it turned up if you are recording with a mic. or other imput devices.

Peace and Love.

Man,

It took me so long to figure that out. I was recording lyrics with a mic input in Audio and they were coming out very quiet. I would have to amplify the audio to get them the right volume.

I'm glad I learned to amplify though because when uploading an audio recording onto the computer it comes out quite low in volume unless you amplify or normalize the audio file.

To do this: go to Edit-> AUDIO and then choose MODIFY and then NORM & AMP

In the Input Settings, you can also prescribe input FX that can give your signal some boost. It's not uncommon to have a little compression on vocal takes, but you can also add gain with the limiter and EQ too.

Normalizing and amplifying samples are an easy fix, but good to keep in mind they also raise the noise floor.
