for more than 2 hours will generate a second file.
Bit Depth and Sample Rate
Find the Bit Depth and Sample Rate settings in the drop-down menu on the right side of the record window. Select a lower
sample rate when it is useful to have a smaller file, for example, when recording speech or a podcast for download. Select a
higher sample rate for music and dynamic recordings.
If no alternate is selected, MOTIV will record audio at 24/48 kHz. However, the following bit depths and sample rates are sup-
ported.

Recording Tips
Turn On Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb
When you plug a MOTIV device into your iOS device, a warning message prompts you to enable Airplane Mode and Do Not
Disturb mode. It's important to do this to avoid recording interference from phone calls, messages, and various notifications.
Tap X to dismiss this warning message.
Note: Leave Airplane Mode off to add geolocation information to your audio file.
Use Lock Mode to Lock In Your Sound
When you've tested your audio and have found the levels that you like, turn on Lock mode to prevent accidental adjustment,
and ensure that your audio quality remains consistent.
Record in Mono
Record in mono to increase your available record time or when recording a single source, like vocals, that would benefit from
less ambient noise. Select the Mono Cardioid or Mono Bidirectional polar pattern and audio from all capsules are summed to a
single channel. The input meter will indicate mono recording by displaying the top half of the waveform. MOTIV supports third-
party microphones with mono recording.
