Automatic recording stop: When this field is activated, recording stops
automatically after approximately 16 seconds of silence. This allows you to
make a recording without having to worry about stopping it at the end.
Automatic CD track recognition: When this field is activated, track markers will
be set automatically at the end of pauses between songs.
Create VIP object with name: Samplitude 11.5 Producer allows you to choose
whether you want to automatically create objects in a VIP once you are done
with the recording.
Monitor: This check box activates the VU meters. Please note that the correct
recording device must be selected prior to beginning this. While recording, the
LED control displays move slower, do, however, show each maximum level.
Recording level: This display indicates that the signal level to be digitized is
correctly set. Play the loudest part of the material to be recorded and watch
the display.
Low-level recording leads to a loss in sound quality, while high-level recording
can produce unpleasant ”clipping” sounds.
You can adjust the record level either on the sound source or with the mixer of
your sound card.
Osc / Correl: Opens the oscillograph or phase correlator. The oscillograph
displays the wave form at the input in a scalable window.
The phase correlator displays the phase level of a stereo signal. A vertical line
corresponds to a mono signal, and a horizontal line corresponds to a 180°
phase-inverted signal which usually indicates an incorrect cable connection.
Tuner: For “tuning” guitars and other string instruments. A calibrating line
appears when the A0 note is played. If deviating tones are played, the
deviation can be read on the basis of the calibration line and the numerically
indicated pitch is corrected accordingly.
Record offset: This option allows you to specify an offset, which is calculated
in samples. Sometimes it is necessary to compensate for any delays due to
processing speed and other factors, such as your sound card’s ability to
switch between playback and recording mode. Delays can occur between the
recording and the playback of audio if the "Playback while recording" feature is
turned on. This option allows adjustments if this occurs. Good values to start
with are in the 20-2000 sample range. You can determine this value by playing
a project with a distinct start in a multitrack VIP and recording it
