Many sound cards or audio devices, such as USB record players offer either
an incomplete or no mixing support at all. In that case, you don't have the
option of monitoring while recording. If you go to "sound cards properties (view
page 58)" within the advanced recording dialog you will find the option "Listen
to the sound during
the recording". If you activate this, MAGIX Audio Cleaning
Lab SE will conduct the input signal to the output.
Recording: sound card without Windows mixing support
24 bit audio support
Audio files in MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab SE can not only be recorded in 16 bit
quality, but also in far superior 24 bit resolution. Simply select the "24 bit"
option under "Resolution". 24 bit recordings require a high quality audiocard
with 20 or 24 bit converters, as well as a 24 bit-compatible NME drive. 24 bit
audio material can also be transmitted via audiocards with SPDIF digital
interfaces.
We have had positive experiences with the 24 bit audiocards produced by
Marian, RME, SEKD and Terratec.
The high resolution audio files are stored and edited in the 32 bit "floating
point" file format by MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab SE. This ensures the full 24 bit
quality independent of the gauge. The dynamics may increase to over 140 dB,
while the recording’s jamming transmission sinks, according to the type of
audiocard, to 110 dB and more. Thanks to floating point processing, there is
no need to worry about internal editing being distorted. Floating point
processing only starts to distort at around 1,500 dB above zero – in contrast
to a 16 bit signal that distorts immediately once the zero dB line has been
traversed.
Even in cases whereby audio material is intended for burning onto a 16 bit CD,
it is worth selecting 24 bit recording because all effects calculations are made
in a higher quality and therefore no "rounding" mistakes can be detected in the
audible 16 bit range.
