The Project tab (fig. 10) presents the project name, its location on disk, and the audio class used to record audio.

The Speakers tab contains the location of the speaker database. This database can be stored in the project directory, or any other accessible location in the local file system.

The Recording tab (fig. 11) allows the user to set the recording parameters. They include the sample rate, quantization, byte order, encoding, number of channels, whether repeated recordings of an item overwrite previous ones or are stored as versions, the progress mode, resetting the level meter for every recording, default values for pre- and postrecording phases, and the location for the recorded audio files.

Note that if the location for recorded audio files begins with http://, then the files are saved to a server via the http protocol over the Internet. In this case, the server must be configured to accept input via web forms with data transferred using the post method (see ?? for details).
