Device: This selects the desired device driver you want to use for the recording. If you
have more than one sound card installed in your system, this window will let you
specify which card to use. Make sure the sound card is properly installed in Windows
and is operational. If you do not see an entry in this window, check whether a device
driver has been installed for your sound card. This usually is done during the software
installation for your sound card.
? (Device): By clicking the “?” button, you can check the recording capabilities of the
selected sound card, i.e. information about the sound card driver and its capabilities.
Info: Dialog for detailing sound card properties. If your sound card supports 24-bit
recording, you can activate this recording mode via the info dialog.
Playback while recording: Simultaneous recording and playback is especially
important when wanting to monitor existing tracks while recording a new track. This
option allows you to turn the feature on. To conserve system resources and keep the
recording error free on slower systems, you may need to turn this feature off.
File name / Browse: The name of the audio file to be produced and the pre-set index
path are displayed at the bottom of the recording window; both can be changed by
clicking "File" button.
Set CD track marker: While the recording is running, you can set track markers by
clicking "Set CD track marker" in the recording dialog.
Automatic recording stop: When this field is activated, recording stops automatically
after approximately 16 seconds of silence. This allows you to make a recording
without having to worry about stopping it at the end.
Automatic CD track recognition: When this field is activated, track markers will be
set automatically at the end of pauses between songs.
Create VIP object with name: Samplitude Music Studio 2013 allows you to choose
whether you want to automatically create objects in a VIP once you are done with the
recording.
Monitor: This check box activates the VU meters. Please note that the correct
recording device must be selected prior to beginning this. While recording, the LED
control displays move slower, do, however, show each maximum level.
Recording level: This display indicates that the signal level to be digitized is correctly
set. Play the loudest part of the material to be recorded and watch the display.
Low-level recording leads to a loss in sound quality, while high-level recording can
produce unpleasant ”clipping” sounds.
You can adjust the record level either on the sound source or with the mixer of your
sound card.
