Output mode
You can setup the output mode in the playback parameter dialog
("P").
With the "Sample rate" option you can choose a different sample rate
as playback. "Device" allows you to select the desired playback
device (if you have more then one active sound card).
Please note that some sound cards are not be able to playback all
sample rates.
Note: Different recording and replay devices for individual tracks can
be selected in the track information dialog rather than the play
parameter window. Track information opens by clicking on the track
number.
Record
Hard drive recording
The device used to digitize audio signals is already included on the
sound card and is called an analog/digital converter (A-to-D, ATD or
A/D). In order to record, the A/D Converter gathers samples of the
signal to be digitized in determined time lapses and measures its
frequency. The rate is called ”sample rate” and normally lies in the
kHz ranges. KHz means a vibrating frequency of several thousand
times per second. The higher the rate, the more samples are taken
by the A/D converter and the more natural the digital transformation
of the sound will be.
The precision with which the A/D converter measures the analog
signal is determined by the sample resolution. The finer the
resolution, the better the digital transformation.
CD-quality audio recordings are recorded with a sample rate of 44.1
kHz and 16-bit resolution.
Recording source
First of all, the recording source must be connected to the sound
card. There are several ways to do this, depending on your
equipment.
