App how many times can 1 recording be played back? It will not be re-recorded at any point

The recordings can be repeated forever (with new AAA). They have to be recorded individually, if you want to change one you have to re-record all of them. I put the sound bites on my computer and recorded it from the computer to the device with the built in microphone before putting it in a stuffed bear. So I can record them in the future or change them. The quality of the recording is disappointing even when recorded in a quiet room but it worked ok for my project. I was hoping to be able to transfer the files over with a USB. That would have been better if the option existed. Hope this helps. The recordings can be repeated forever (with new AAA).

I believe the recording remains as long as it's not recorded-over on purpose, and the circuitry is in a functional state (i.e not broken or suffering from some sort of failure). As I recall, even removing the battery doesn't wipe out the recording.

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

It will stop, the built in software is very basic. There is an option that allow you to record over what's already on the card but it is a 10 minutes loop only : to me this is ridiculous !

Would like to know the same. I don't want to buy it if it will accidentally stop recording if put into my pocket.

If you hit the rewind button while playing, you should be able to put the recorder in rewind mode. Otherwise its hit stop and then rewind. Since I returned the unit, I am assuming you would be able to go directly from playing to rewind without stopping and then rewinding for any period. Similar recorders do have that feature.

I have never used this. The unit has a repeat button, to repeat all, repeat album. I hope this helps.

The insert says 7 seconds. But I recorded once. I tried another take that got messed up and then it wouldn't record past that. It doesn't work.

The recording is actually quite simple. On the back there is a switch for record and playback. When you are ready to record you just flip switch to record. once you press the center in to hear how it sounds and you like what you hear you just flip the switch back to playback. This way when you put it in a stuff animal it can't accidentally be recorded over. Hope this helped

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

If you recorded some loops previously, it is supoused to keep sounding while you tap once again to record over it...Get in touch with TC electronic customer service

Sorry, haven't used it much to know for sure but there is a button for replaying all tracks. However, it would seem you have to press it after each cycle, according to the user manual.

Yes, you can rewind and record over a section, but be careful not to record over subsequent sections of your previous recording that you want to keep. And yes, there are multiple folders and files. Each time you hit the stop button that recording terminates. When you then Hit record again, it creates a new file. So, to stay within your current recording file and not create another, use the pause button.

It records one video, as long as there is motion to record. Once it stops, it does not restart, so is not actually motion activated, which would continue to start and stop, each time there was motion to record.

The recording is only disabled while playing audio or video from the internal memory. It cant do both at the same time because of how Micro SD cards are configured. There is also an auto record feature that will automatically stop recording and play your video/auido files. Once all activity has ceased for about 45 seconds it will kick back on and it will start recording again. Interesting feature. - Nick at onlineenterprises888 If you have any more questions you can email me directly here in Amazon.

yes and no. this machine is kind of hard to work with whenever there is any type of transferring involved. if you can play the tracks one at a time while this records it, then yes, since you will have the same tracks, just moved into the other recording system (think multitrack re-recording). I've tried that before and it works perfectly fine as long as (1) you can perfectly sync the start times of all of the tracks as you re-record them (that should be as easy as hitting play on one and record on the other simultaneously), and (2) you don't accidentally add a lot of hum or noise to the tracks by re-recording them. you may not notice the noise when you try just one track, but with eight tracks, that means that any noise entering the tracks between the two recorders will be multiplied by 8. so, in short, yes you can transfer tracks from the old unit to the new one as long as you make sure that all of the tracks start at the same time, you don't accidentally add loads of noise, and you aren't in a hurry ('cause it's going to take a little while to transfer all those tracks over). does that help?

As long as you want. The only thing that stops it is when you hit a button on it. Have not figure out how to make it record when you want to listen to the radio or something else.

They have a toggle switch on the bottom that can be set to 3 different options: "Play/On, Record, Off." You record by pressing down on the top colored portion, while in Record Mode, and speaking aloud. Then, when you switch to Play Mode, it plays your full recorded message every time the colored top is pressed down. You can only have one recorded message at a time, but can re-record a new message whenever necessary.
