I'm unable to play my first recording.
I go in, and hit record, and then when I'm done, I swipe to the stop button,
and then, I hear play dimmed button.
Any suggestions?
I'm trying to get used to this cool app.

Well Esther, you have just upped the count on the Fire 2 post by a couple.
One is me thanking you for all the knowledge that you spread on this list.
And now I need to post some update information I learned today from the Fire
2 developers. Thanks much for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Fanus,
To change the button action so you can record by double tapping the Record
button instead of sliding it to the right (which you'd have to do with
VoiceOver turned off) in FiRe 2, go to Settings (4th of 5 tabs on the
bottom), double tap, then flick right to "Transport" and double tap, Then,
on the "Transport" screen, under the "Record Button"
heading, flick right to "Button Controls". A further flick right will tell
you the switch button status, which is initially set to "off".
Double tap to set this to "switch button, on", and you will notices that
some of the other options under the "Record Button" heading, like "Slide To
Stop", will disappear. I also set the switch button for "Hold to Record" to
"switch button, off", so you don't have to keep holding down the "Record
Button" for the length of your recording session.
The ability to change the way of starting recording in Settings by tapping
instead of sliding the "Record" button is a recent modification (version
2.6, January 2013). This is basically the reason that Annie and I stopped
playing with this app when this new setup for FiRe 2 appeared in late 2011.
Fanus, I think Carla was mainly thanking me for some old tips on using the
Mail Archive page to search for posted content on this list, more than for
describing how to change the Record button action in FiRe 2. Let me tell
you how you can find out the answers to your questions for yourself, by
using the link to the Mail Archive page that appears at the end of every
post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone%40googlegroups.com/
First, just typing search terms into the text box on that page and pressing
enter will give you several good results, shown as a list of links to posts
by subject line, with a brief section of matching text context, along with a
date and the name of the poster. This is like being able to do a Google
search on this mailing list's contents, But you can also filter the results
according to the poster, date range, and subject, and you can use wild cards
like the asterisk character in your search terms, if you're not sure of the
spelling. So, for example, since Neal Ewers started the discussions on FiRe
2, a good way to search for content on FiRe 2 would be to type into the
search text box:
from:Neal FiRe
and then press enter. The "from:" filter term ends in a colon, and whether
I leave a space after the colon before typing a name is optional. The
arguments are not case sensitive. However, the name I type in must match a
word that shows up in the "From:" field of his posts. It can be either a
first or last name, or it can even be more than one word if I enclose his
full name in quotation marks, but that's generally not necessary.This search
will give me every post that Neal wrote which contains the word, "FiRe"
somewhere in the post, and I'll be told (at present) that there are 13
matches.
The results are listed in order of "relevance" to your search term, so posts
where "FiRe" appears several times will be listed first. But if I want to
catch up with how Neal first introduced the topic, and any questions he may
have posed to the list, I can add the filter terms "sort:oldest" to have the
oldest posts appear first, or I can use "sort:newest" to have the most
recent matches listed first. Again, there is a colon after the word "sort",
and I could place these arguments before or after the search terms or "from"
filter in my search text box. Most often I'll use the command to move back a
page to return to my original search text box arguments and either add
arguments to or modify the search terms I used, depending on how many
results I got, and how these turned out. So my search terms could be:
from:Neal FiRe sort:oldest
And when I press the return key, I find that his first post on this subject
is "Questions about Fire 2 Field Recorder", and that short synopsis shows
he's asking how to change action of the "Record"
button. Now if I activate the link to that post in the list of results, I
can read his full post.
What's very powerful about he Mail Archive page is that there are access-key
shortcuts that work for any browser/operating system combination, and that
let you read up and down the threads. So for Safari on a Mac, the access-key
prefix is the Control key, and if I press Control-n, I'll navigate to the
next post in the thread, which is my answer on how to change the action of
the "Record" button. If I press Control-p, I can read the previous post in
a thread. If I'm using another computer and browser combination, I just use
the appropriate access-key for that browser in place of the Control key
(e.g., Alt-n and Alt-p for Internet Explorer on Windows, Alt-Shift-n and
Alt-Shift-p for Netscape, etc.)
Now, let's assume that I want to find the first posts of all the threads
about FiRe 2, and read down them at the Mail Archive site. I can use the
Boolean search feature to exclude posts that have the "Re:" string for
replies by adding that as a search term, but typing a hyphen character
immediately before this string. So my search terms
are:
FiRe 2 -Re sort:newest
and when I press return, I get 7 matches. They include one thread about
games and a second about a drive that can be used with the Kindle Fire,
which is why I added the sort argument , since the threads discussing FiRe
Field Recorder are recent.
You can now activate these links and use Control-n to read down every post
on this topic.
For more information on search syntax and access-key shortcuts, check the
Mail Archive FAQ pages at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html
I hope this has been a practical example of how to use the search function
to find content in the list archives. It takes about a day or less for new
content to be indexed for searches, but if you're looking for recent posts,
you can simply go to the Mail Archive web page for this site without
searching for text, and do a "Find" on that web page. Also, although I
described how to do a search on the Mac, you can equivalently move to the
links for the next and previous posts on iOS devices. Finally, you can copy
the URL address of the post you want to reference (e.g., on a Mac, move to
the Safari address bar with Command-L, and copy the URL with Command-C),
then paste the link into your mail post with Command-V.
There's also a recent AppleVis podcast that describes how to create 3- line
web shortcut files on the Mac that you can place on your Desktop or in the
Dock, and open to open your browser at that web page. I make such web
shortcut files that open on the Mail Archive pages for these lists. You can
read printed instructions for doing this on a Mac at John Panarese's
MacfortheBlind pages:
http://macfortheblind.com/Tips-and-Tricks-for-the-Mac
Navigate to the heading for "Web Shortcut Files"
Here's the shortened link to the AppleVis Podcast page in question:

HTH. Cheers,

Hi Esther,
Thanks very much for your tips. I have now successfully made some
recordings with this app and I have to say that the results are pretty
amazing even though I used the built-in mic.
I've not attempted any editing yet but I've been reading from the
mannual and see no reason why this isn't do-able.
I've not come across the various settings for female voice etc yet but
there does seem to be highpass lowpass etc which may be worth
experimenting with.
Take care,
Cokes.
