5 NeroMIX as an encoder/decoder
NeroMIX is not simply just an audio player, it is a complete encoder and decoder.
This means that uncompressed audio files can be converted into VQF and
mp3PRO* formats and compressed into WAV and AIFF formats. Analog sound
from records or the microphone can be recorded via the soundcard and saved as
audio files by NeroMIX.
5.1 Encoding/decoding audio files
1. Open the desired audio files or an existing playlist.
2. Click on the large Record Wizard button to open the dialog.
3. Click in the list box, select one of the options for creating audio files and then
click on the Next button. For encoding into mp3PRO and VQF file formats, the
Options button is active. Clicking on this button opens a dialog box, which
allows you to set various coding rates.
4. Click on the list box and select ‘Use tracks from my playlist’ as the audio
source.
If the check box ‘Record complete playlist’ is activated, the Finish button
appears and all tracks in the playlist are converted. If it is deactivated, the
Next button appears and a dialog opens, in which you can select the files to
be converted.
5. Click on the Finish button to start the encoding or decoding process.
* NeroMIX can encode up to 30 songs in mp3PRO format. This is done using the
most up to date encoder technology from Coding Technologies. Due to patent
agreements, the plug-in for unlimited use of the mp3PRO encoder must be
purchased separately at: www.nero.com
.
For encoding or decoding, the original data is not deleted and continues
to be available to you.
5.2 Recording records
With NeroMIX, you can not only play back and burn existing audio files, you can
also create your own digital audio files. For example, you can save records as
audio files on your computer, so that you can then burn them onto CD.
Recordings via a microphone are also possible, if the microphone is connected to
the soundcard.
The signal that comes from the magnetic sampling system on a record
player cannot be connected directly to the soundcard’s line-in input, as
the signal’s frequency is distorted on technical grounds. Therefore, a so-
called equalizing preamplifier is needed between the sampling system
