Recording into the Tonverk
- Cable: phone headphone out (or USB‑C → 3.5 mm dongle) → 3.5 mm TRS to 2× 6.3 mm TS → Tonverk In A / In B. Most streams are mono, so one jack is enough. Tonverk is also class‑compliant USB audio; an Android phone with a USB‑C data cable can act as host and send audio digitally over USB. Analog is the simplest and known to work.
- Level: play the 1 kHz −12 dBFS tone, phone volume at ~90–100 %, and set Tonverk input gain so it reads about −12 dB. Keep the phone volume fixed afterwards. Streams peak a lot louder than they average, so leave headroom.
- Phone: turn on Do Not Disturb, disable keyboard clicks and notification sounds, and switch off any EQ or "adaptive sound".
- Workflow: let the Tonverk record 1–3 minutes, then slice. Open mics and hydrophones are slow: give them time. Press 🎲 for a random samplable source.
