Compressed Format Recording

• The MOTIV app records uncompressed audio files to provide the highest quality recording. However, you might find it more useful to record in a compressed file format. Compressed files take up less storage space allowing you more space on your device to record. It’s also easier to share compressed files by message or email because compressed files use less data. Consider using a compressed format for recording demos or initial ideas because in this case, it is more important to capture the idea than have the highest possible fidelity recording.
• If you are unsure about which format to choose, start with the highest-quality setting. You can always compress files later from your library if you find that you require smaller file sizes. See the Supported Audio Formats section to learn about the file formats that are available to you.
• Remember: You can convert compressed audio to an uncompressed format, uncompressed audio to a compressed format and one type of compressed format to another. However, only WAV files can be edited. If you need to edit a file, convert the file to a WAV file first.

If the device continues to overheat, MOTIV will save your recording and shut down. Ensure that your device has cooled down before starting a new recording.
Unable to share file| If a file is too large to be shared, there are a couple of options for reducing file size. Convert your file to a compressed file format. Connect your mobile device to your computer and use file transfer, like iTunes, to down­ load the file to your desktop. Split your track in two, export both files and recombine them using audio editing software.
General Troubleshooting| Ensure that the microphones and devices are all charged. Ensure that MOTIV is updated to the most current version. Make sure that your phone’s operating system is updated to the most current version.
