DCFirst Claim
1. A system for recording locally generated audio comprising:
- at least one master timecode generator for generating a plurality of master timecodes; and
at least one local audio device wearable by a creator of said locally generated audio including;
at least one local audio device receiver for wirelessly receiving said master timecodes;
at least one audio input port for receiving locally generated audio from an audio input device;
at least one memory;
at least one control unit in communication with said local audio device receiver, said audio input device, and said memory for creating local audio data from said locally generated audio and storing said local audio data in said memory; and
at least one local audio device wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting said local audio data in real time, said at least one local audio device wireless transmitter in communication with said at least one control unit;
wherein said local audio data includes stamped local audio data and unstamped local audio data;
wherein said stamped local audio data includes at least one timestamp to reference at least a portion of said local audio data to at least one of said master timecodes; and
wherein said unstamped local audio data does not include a reference to said master timecodes.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for wirelessly recording multi-track audio files without the data corruption or loss of data that typically occurs with wireless data transmission. In some aspects of the present invention, each performer is equipped with a local audio device capable of locally recording the respective performer'"'"'s audio while also transmitting it to a master recorder. The locally recorded audio may then be used to repair or replace any audio lost or corrupted during transmission to the master recorder. Such repair or replacement may be performed electronically or via playback of the locally recorded audio. In other aspects of the present invention, a master recorder is not required since all locally recorded audio may be combined or otherwise processed post-recording. A multi-memory unit is provided in another aspect of the present invention to facilitate manipulation and processing of audio files.
