Upgrade Manual

Chapter 3: Quick-Start Tutorial14
The Dialog usually opens up with another window at the right – this is the
Recording Control .
(Hint: If your soundcard doesn't open with the recording control shown, and
instead shows the playback control, you'll need to select Options-Properties-
Recording in the menu of this Mixer – or upgrade from Windows 95 to
Windows 98.)
If the Recording Control has not launched, you can manually launch it by
pressing the Recording Control button on the audio dialog.
As you can see from the Recording Control checkboxes at the bottom, we've
selected to record the input from Microphone, and have de-selected the other
options (line-in, audio CD). We've also de-selected record of outgoing MIDI,
since we don't want this to 'bleed' on to our audio track.
Now that we've set the Recording Properties, we can set our VU levels of the
recording.
Press the Test Recording Level button to
do this. As this dialog displays, you can test the level of your microphone
("testing 1 2 3"), so that the VU levels are not too high (should be green/yellow,
but not red).
OK, now we're ready to record.
Set the record audio to the start of the song, and press
RECORD.
You'll now hear the 2 bar count-in and can record your voice singing along to
Band-in-a-Box!
