[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] RasT666:
Well shure, I am afraid its a bit complicated. I'll try and see if I can describe it in a way that makes sense :).

The first problem one might experience, at least i did on mine (using official htc 1.66 rom), is crackles, pops and dropouts in your recordings. This can be corrected with some adjustments to audiobuffersettings and the cachesize set by Meteor for your sd-card.

1. You need to find the "PREFS.xml"-file, in the Meteor directory. For me it would be here: My Phone\Memorycard\programs\Meteor\

2. You will need a browser that can open and edit XML-files, I used Adobe Dreamweaver.

3. Open the PREFS.xml and adjust the following:

AudioBufferSize="2048" -> AudioBufferSize="4096"

AudioBufferCount="32" -> AudioBufferCount="64"

ReadCacheSize="32768" -> ReadCacheSize="131072"

WriteCacheSize="65536" -> WriteCacheSize="262144"

These are maximum settings, and all in coherrence with what the manual suggests for troubleshooting by the way: View attachment 307274

THE SECOND PROBLEM with the HD 2 as a multitrack harddisc recorder, as with any DAW-system, is mainly the question of latency.

(for info on DAW, check this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_workstation)

Latency refers to how long the system (meaning processor, RAM, disc etc) is to actually process the sound converted (ADC), recorded, replayed & deconverted (DAC) again.

For the DAW to work properly (avoiding sync-issues between different recordings), it most know its own latency - hence the calibrating/strange beeps when running Meteor the first time.

Only thing is, that even though HD 2 is fast, it appears to have either a slow soundcard/ADC-DAC-converter or pourly written driversoftware to support it. Either way, at least on my phone, Meteor simply cannot deliver ENOUGH LATENCY, to compensate sync-issues, especially not with the above buffer and cachesettings set to maximum, not even with "Synchronize Audio Threads" under <setup> ticked (Which should be done by the way!).

There is a workaround though, but it requires you to know with what BPM (120 bpm being default) you are running during your current recording session and what latency will fit the current bpm you are running with.

The point is that you SIMPLY ADJUST the recording BACK according to your starting point of recording.

EXAMPLE:

You plan to record on track one at 120 bpm, so you set the cursor at the 1-figure at the ruler in the upperbar. you then set your latency under "setup\audio setup" to "940 ms".

Press record. When finished recording you highlight the recording and simply drag it 1-line back (NOT 1-bar, but 1/4 of a bar).

Repeat this for next recording on track 2 or any other, still keeping the 1-ruler as starting point, and you should have two recordings in perfect sync!

This should of course be repeated for every new recording...always dragging it 1-line back to keep sync.

You can test this yourself by the way, by turning on the metronome letting it play thru the HD 2's speakers, simultanously recording it. Drag the recording back, and when playedback, still with the metronome on, you should hear the recording and the metronome playing synchronized. If it is NOT in sync, you need to adjust latency, untill it is, testing with the metronome as above.

120 bpm = 940 ms latency works on my system, but I have no idea if it will work as a standard on all hd 2 phones. Problem is also, that when changing the bpm, you will also have to adjust latency. But assuming that there is some consistency thru this on most HD 2 (though rom and tweaks probably have a huge influence on this), i have here made a list of these values with what bpm = latency: View attachment 307285

Quite complex instructions, hope this will help though. Welcome to ask for clarification, and I'll see if can answer accordingly :o

Have fun!
