connectors, then you can reduce the incoming signal only by using
the sound card’s mixer window. This is located in the recording
dialog under the "Level control" tab.
If you reduce the input sensibility with the sliding regulator (fader),
then you also reduce (with many sound cards) the precision of the
resolution of the digitized analog signal. This is why these controls
should be kept at the loudest possible setting!
The standard for optimal adjusting is naturally the loudest section of
the material. This should be turned to the maximum setting
Digital transfer
With the recording function, digital audio data can be transferred to
the hard drive through a digital interface (e.g. S/PDIF or ADAT).
ADAT or DAT recorders normally produce data with a sampling rate
of 48 kHz. For a CD project with 44.1 kHz you must convert the
sampling rate. This is carried out in real time by Samplitude 11
Producer. The digital signal is read at 48 kHz, but is automatically
converted and inserted into the project as an audio file at 44.1 kHz.
For this to occur correctly, you must first set the sample rate of the
incoming signal in the recording dialog. Click on the "Dev." button in
the recording dialog. In the following dialog (sound card
characteristics), set the audio recording formats supported by the
sound card.
Now, connect the digital output of your recorder to the digital input of
your sound card, and now start recording!
24-bit audio support
Audio files in Samplitude 11 Producer can not only be recorded in
16-bit quality, but also in far superior 24-bit resolution. Simply click
the ”device” button in the recording dialog, and select the ”24-bit”
option under ”sound card properties”. 24-bit recordings require a
high-quality audio card with 20 or 24-bit converters, as well as a 24-
bit-compatible NME drive. 24-bit audio material can also be
transmitted via audio cards with SPDIF digital interfaces.
We have had positive experiences with the 24-bit audio cards
produced by Marian, RME, SEKD and Terratec.
