Record dialog
The "Record" button in MAGIX Music Editor 3 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"
chapter.
Level controllers:
Opens the recording settings in your sound card's mixer window. The level controllers of your sound
card should generally be set as high as possible in order to achieve optimum results. Please note that the
sound card's microphone input should be muted during line-in recordings to prevent any background
noise.
Level automation: Opens the input and level automation
for automatic selection of the proper input signals.
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".
Record: 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.
Recording pause:
Pauses the recording. Click the button again to resume.
Stop: This button ends recording. The recorded material is then inserted into the upper track as an
object. If objects
are already in the track, the recording is attached to the last object after a pause of 2 seconds.
Advanced…: Opens the Advanced view of the record dialog
with access to additional settings options.
Help:
Opens the program's help file for the record dialog.
Close:
Closes the record dialog.
Keyboard shortcut: R
