Setting a prerecord buffer for threshold recording
On the Advanced tab at the bottom of the Record dialog, select the Prerecord buffer check box and type a value in the edit box to
maintain a set amount of time in a buffer when Sound Forge software is armed for recording. A prerecording buffer helps to ensure you
won’t miss a perfect take if you’ve set the threshold a bit too high.
When the prerecording buffer is enabled, recording begins when the audio input reaches the threshold level and the sound data in the
buffer is committed to disk. For example, if you set a 15-second buffer, recording effectively begins 15 seconds before the input reaches
the set threshold level.
