Adjusting the recording level is essential when recording digitally via
sound cards in order to achieve optimum sound quality. If the
adjustment is set too high, distortion occurs and the incoming signal
must be reduced. If you reduce input sensitivity, the resolution at
which the analog signal is digitized is also reduced. The level
controllers of your sound card should generally be set as high as
possible in order to achieve optimum results. Yardstick for an optimal
level is the loudest part of the material. The loudest part should be
adjusted to the maximum. You can now adjust the recording level
with the help of the LED display in the record dialog.
You can adjust the level of the source manually using the "Volume"
controller. If you activated "Automatic level adjustment", the level
controller will automatically be set to the correct value.
Record properties
This dialog provides you with information regarding the currently
selected sound card. Supported audio formats of the sound card and
the sound card driver's information is also displayed.
Driver system: Here you can switch between driver types (MME and
WDM).
Note: Adjust this setting only if you have problems with audio
playback or recording.
Special: Some sound cards or audio devices (for example, USB
turntables) do not offer mixer support. With the "Monitor input signal"
option you can listen to the sound during recording (monitoring).
"Filter DC offset" allows you to remove the DC offset section (view
page 69) of the input signal, even during recording.
