If the user does not set those settings `startTicks` will be set to the value of `System.nanoTime()` at the moment the recording is started (a `Recording` instance is created) and `duration` will be computed as a diff between the current value of `System.nanoTime()` and `startTicks`.

Looks good to me now. Thanks for working in my review comments.
