Hi Chris, I'm going to paste in a tip that Mario left in another thread discussing FiRe that you participated in, with subject title: "Recording while out". It doesn't show up in the search thread results example I wrote up for Fanus, where I listed how to find the various starting posts of threads that discuss FiRe 2, because the originating post doesn't mention FiRe. But if you read through the subject link results of a search for posts that Neal made on FiRe, and compared them with the subject link titles of posts on FiRe that began threads, you'd have picked this one up. You'd also have found it if you read up and down the threads of all of Neal's posts on FiRe.
<begin quote> tip: when you have recorded something, the playback cursor is alwais at the end of the track, and you can't click the play button. To go to the start of the track, disable vo and double tap the middle left and right sections of the screen. <end quote> Mario also gave a brief post of where to change the settings for the Record button action in that thread. By the way, FiRe isn't the only music app that bypasses the normal Mic recording, but many of the others are not accessible. take a look at this list of Core Audio iOS apps from the iOS Musician page: http://www.iosmusician.com/2012/06/list-of-core-audio-ios-apps.html Thie list on thus page can be read with Safari Reader (e.g., on an iOS device, double tap the "Reader" button in the Safari address bar, or on a Mac, press Command-Shift-R to toggle into and out of the reader, to read only the article and not the surrounding web page contents). However, if you navigate by headings through the full page, you'll find a list of currently oh sale music apps (heading level 2). This includes the Korg synth apps like iKaossikator at half price ($9.99 vs $19.99 until March 20). Haven't tried this myself, but the deals are posted up at AppleVis with links to the app and podcast entries. HTH with both FiRe and information on using the Mail Archive search functions.
