Audio
Songs, noises, or instruments can be easily recorded in MAGIX Video Pro
X3 using the audio recording function. A hooked-up microphone or various
audio devices (especially a stereo system) can be used as recording
sources.
Connecting the source for recording
First of all, the source of the audio material must be connected to the sound
card input. Again, there are several possibilities which primarily depend on
the type of equipment you have.
If you are recording from a microphone, then please connect the
microphone to the microphone jack on your sound card (usually red).
If you want to record material from a stereo system, then you can use the
line-out or AUX out jacks on the back of your amplifier or tape deck. This
involves connecting them to the sound card input (usually red).
If your amplifier has no separate output (other than for the speakers), then
you can use the connection intended for headphones for your recordings. In
most cases, you will need a cable with two mini-stereo jacks. This type of
connection has the advantage of being able to set the headphone input
signal level with a separate volume. As headphone connections generally
are not the best, it is advised that you use the line outputs if possible.
When recording cassettes from a tape deck, you can connect the tape
deck's line out directly to the sound card input.
When recording from vinyl records, you should not connect the record
player's output directly with the sound card because the phono signal needs
to be pre-amplified. A more suitable method would be to use the headphone
connection or an external pre-amp.
Adjusting the Signal Level
Adjusting the signal level to the sound card is also recommended to get the
best sound quality during digital recording.
Once a recording source is connected to the sound card, the "Record"
button opens the recording dialog and starts the recording source.
You can now adjust the recording level with the help of the LED display in
the recording dialog. For this, you must first check off "Show Levels".
