Description
Record a field microphone's stated distance note and source.
Musical field records distinguish performer/community attribution, transcription and naming sources, cyclic beat coordinates and recorded permission. A public-access label is different from a reuse license, and a numerical timing residual is different from performance interpretation. Cultural context and actual consent remain tied to original sources.
Record a field microphone's stated distance note and source.
When to use this tool
Use Field Recording Microphone Distance Note when checking the stated public-record, timing, attribution or permission convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recordingId, distanceText, referencePoint. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty recording ID, distance text and reference point. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| recordingId | Recording Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| distanceText | Distance Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| referencePoint | Reference Point | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"recordingId": "R17",
"distanceText": "2 m",
"referencePoint": "performer position"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"R17\",\"2 m\",\"performer position\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Distance is not parsed or measured; acoustic geometry, recording quality and an appropriate microphone position are not determined.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use original recordings and community/source conventions, with appropriate verified consent and rights review for actual interpretation, reproduction or sharing.
