Telos VX - Recording, Editing, and Playing Calls

THE VX PRODUCER APPLICATION | 47
In talent mode, this will be the “on-air” call. Usually, the audio will have been routed via the
studio mixing console.
In producer mode, this will be the call on the handset.
You can choose if both the local mic audio and the phone are recorded or only the phone. In
the former case, a stereo file will be produced.
Enabling Auto Record causes the recorder to automatically make a new recording each time a
call is taken.
File names are automatically created by the system, but can be changed by writing over the
default text after a right mouse click. The file will appear in the tabbed list box determined by
Settings. Normally, a VX Producer in producer mode will put recorded files under the Producer
tab and in studio mode, under the Studio tab (naturally). You can move files among the tabbed
lists by either dragging them to the destination tab or using the Send button and drop-down list.
The meter to left of the tabbed file list window shows the audio level as a recording is being
made.
Playing
Select a file by clicking on it. Press the Play button. The audio will be sent to the PC’s output
configured in Settings. Depending on the Settings configuration, the playback will be available
on PC-connected loudspeakers or headphones, or it may be routed to a studio mixing console
fader.
Editing
Select a file by clicking on it. Press the Edit button. The audio editor configured in Settings will
open and the selected file will appear in the editing window (Audacity is the default). Audio
input and output will be according to the editor’s configuration. Depending on the configura-
tion, the payback will be available on PC-connected loudspeakers or headphones, or it may be
routed to a studio mixing console fader.
A stereo file will be passed to the editor when both a mic and phone audio are recorded. A
mono file will be passed when phone-only record mode has been selected.
Files
The recorded audio files are physically stored on the local PC or on another PC or server
accessible over the network. The location depends upon the file path configuration in the
VX Producer settings menu.
By default, files created in the studio will go the list under the Studio tab and files created by
the producer will be saved under the Producer tab. The Ready tab holds files that are ready for
air. The Import and Export tabbed lists are used to accept and send files to other people on the
network. Again, the tab names and file locations depend upon your settings.
