When recording cassettes from a tape deck, you can connect the tape deck's
line out directly to the sound card input.
When recording from vinyl records, you should not connect the record player's
output directly with the sound card because the phono signal needs to be
pre-amplified. A more suitable method would be to use the headphone
connection or an external pre-amp.
Record dialog
The "Record" button in MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab SE 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 51) chapter.
Audio input: Opens the input and level automation (view page 55) 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.
