Adjust the recording level so that the meter indicators light up
only to the middle of the meter, passing the middle only
occasionally. If all of the meter indicators stay lit persistently, the
recording level has passed the zero dB clipping point, and is too
“hot”. If this occurs, reduce your recording level.
If you want Easy Audio Capture to automatically find a recording
level that does not clip, click Auto. Easy Audio Capture uses the
highest possible recording level. If clipping occurs, Easy Audio
Capture reduces the recording level. If no clipping occurs at this
new recording level, this level is used.
■
