   7 Selecting the \setting{Recording} option in the \setting{Main Menu} enters
   8 the \setting{Recording Screen}, whilst pressing \ActionStdContext{} enters the
   9 \setting{Recording Settings} (see \reference{ref:Recordingsettings}).
  10 The \setting{Recording Screen}
  11 shows the time elapsed and the size of the file being recorded. A peak meter
  12 is present to allow you set gain correctly. There is also a volume setting,
  13 this will only affect the output level of the \dap{} and does \emph{not}
  14 affect the recorded sound. If enabled in the peak meter settings, a counter in
  15 front of the peak meters shows the number of times the clip indicator was
  16 activated during recording. The counter is reset to zero when starting a new
  17 recording.\\*

  21 \note{When you start a recording, the hard disk will spin up. This will cause
  22 the peak meters to freeze in the process. This is expected behaviour, and
  23 nothing to worry about. The recording continues during the spin up.\\*}}}
