Record dialog
The "Record" button in MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 2013 opens the record dialog.
However, the recording source must be connected to the input of the sound card with
a suitable cable first. For more information, please read the "Recording basics" (view
page 44) chapter.
Audio input: Opens the input and level automation (view page 49) for automatic
selection of the correct input signal and level.
Recording level: Displays whether the level of the signal you want to digitize is
correct. To set the level, play the loudest part of the material you want to record and
monitor the display. Like with analog recordings, the sound of digital recordings has to
be optimized as well. Too low level settings will have adverse effects on sound quality,
distortions lead to unpleasant "clippings".
Recording: This button starts the actual recording. During recording, recording time
and remaining space on your hard disk are indicated. Monitor the recording level on
the LED display. If the display reaches the upper LEDs, there was a distortion at some
point. In this case, you should definitely check the recording for clippings and, if
necessary, repeat the recording using a lower recording level. At the end of the
recording you will be asked if you want to use the recording. The newly-recorded
material will be placed at the current position of the playback marker in the
arrangement.
Recording pause: Pauses the recording. Click the button again to resume.
Stop: This button ends recording. The recorded material is then inserted into the
upper track as an object. If objects are already in the track, the recording is attached
to the last object after a pause of 2 seconds.
Advanced…: Opens the Advanced view of the record dialog (view page 47) with
access to additional settings options.
Help: Opens the program's help file for the record dialog.
