Record and edit new sounds with the PC
There are some sample sounds on the supplied CD-ROM, with which you can make
first attempts with the sound module. But sometimes you want to use your own
sounds on your sound module. The Internet offers an almost infinite number of sound
files which you can download mostly freely and transfer them to your sound module.
You simply enter the wanted sound in with „download" into a search engine
(http://www.google.com).
A further possibility is the recording of own sounds with your sound card. As sources
for example a cassette recorder, a MP3-Player, a CD/DVD or a microphone can be
used.
In following example it is shown how you can do this with the software „GoldWave".
1. Start the software „GoldWave"
2. Choose in menu „Datei" the entry „Neu".
3. Click in the opened window on „Radio" and then on „OK".
4. Adjusting the volume for the recording source (e.g. line, microphone or audio
CD):
a. Choose in the menu „Werkzeug" the entry „Lautstaerkeregler"
(opens the configuration of the volume).
b. Adjust the volume at the wanted recording. Normally the slider is mostly
in the upper third. During the recording, the recording level indicator in
windows „Gerätekontrolle" should reach maximally the yellow field.
c. Close the window „Lautstaerkeregelung"
5. With a click on the record button in the window „Gerätekontrolle" the
recording starts.
6. Control now whether the volume control which you have done in step 4 was
correct. If necessary correct your volume configuration.
7. With a click on the stop button
in the window „Gerätekontrolle" the
recording stops.
8. Now in the blue window the recorded sound appears. You can listen to the
recorded sound by a click on the play button
.
9. The sound can be edited by the extensive functions of the software. Now a
example how you can cut a sound:
a. Click with the left mouse button at the place where the sound should
begin.
b. Click with the right mouse button at the place where the sound should
end.
c. You click now in the menu „Bearbeiten" on „Trimmen", to remove the
not needed sound.
10. Save now the file to your hard disk:
a. Click on „Speichern als” in the menu „Datei".
b. Choose the folder and filename
c. At „Dateityp” you have to choose „Wave (*.wav)"
d. At „Attribute" you have to choose „8-bit, mono, unsigned".
11. Now you can upload the new file with our software „USM-RC Sound-Teacher"
to the sound module.
