Voice Over tips
Be careful not to overwrite any clips on
the selected Tra c k (voice over is always in
Overwrite Style). It’s best to configure a
separate Tra c k for Voice Over clips.
Divide the voice over recording into man-
ageable segments.
Checking audio settings
Click the menu bar > Edit > Settings > User >
Audio Settings. Look under Preferred device to see
whether it contains the soundcard to which the
microphone is connected. Then select Preferred
quality. In the extended area, test whether the sys-
tem is picking up the audio.
