2

This displays the running time of your file during recording or playback.
3
Remaining Time
During playback, this shows how much time is remaining until the end of the
file. During recording, it shows how much time is remaining until you reach the
maximum file size. You can record for 12 hours in mono or 6 hours in stereo.

The remaining time shown varies depending on the free space left on the iPhone/
iPad/iPod touch.

meter. There is also a numeric display of your level above the meter.
