double speed. Doubling the speed cancels itself out so you will end up with a
completely normal cassette recording. Thereby making it possible to copy
cassettes in half the time.
With the option "Double Speed Recording" you can also use this function
with MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab MX. If it's activated you can record played
audio material at double speed, after recording the speed of the recorded
material will be automatically halved.
Input and level automation
Every sound card has a least two inputs (microphone and line), as well as
various "internal" inputs for the CD drive or the signal from another program,
for example, Internet radio. With input and level automation you can
automatically select the correct input for your recording without having to
search and adjust the input level in order to avoid distortions.
To do so, click on "Audio input" in the record dialog. If you had already
connected your source and begun playback, the correct input will be
determined immediately. Otherwise do this now and click on "Search channel
again".
If this didn't work, use the "Windows mixer" button to open the Windows
Mixer and select the channel manually.
Adjusting the recording level is essential when recording digitally via sound
cards in order to achieve optimum sound quality. If the adjustment is set too
high, distortion occurs and the incoming signal must be reduced. If you
reduce input sensitivity, the resolution at which the analog signal is digitized is
also reduced. The level controllers of your sound card should generally be set
as high as possible in order to achieve optimum results. Yardstick for an
optimal level is the loudest part of the material. The loudest part should be
adjusted to the maximum. You can now adjust the recording level with the
help of the LED display in the record dialog.
You can adjust the level of the source manually using the "Volume" controller.
If you activated "Automatic level adjustment", the level controller will
automatically be set to the correct value.
Monitor while recording
Do you want to listen to your digitizer while you are recording? It may not work
from the start for the following reason:
Most sound cards, including the ones integrated in a PC ("onboard sound")
offer help for the Windows sound card mixer. You can change the different
input and output levels of the sound card or choose a digitizer.
