Can not get Sound activated recording to work.

Can not get Sound activated recording to work.

I can record if I hit the Red record button.

I have the Transport Sound Activated Recording check on.
I have tried change Sound level activation.
I have tried changing microphone level.

Still nothing, what am I missing?

Thanks
Henry

If you have a very noisy environment, it may trigger all the time. Then you can get a quieter room or adjust the recording and threshold levels.

Thanks for the fast reply,

Ok that was it, now to play with it to get the proper levels for tripping and recording.

Thanks again.
