Calibrating microphones for recording
If you are recording audio for a project, you must set the microphone or recording device to the correct recording
level. This process is called calibrating the recording device. Adobe Captivate can detect optimal microphone and
recording sensitivity levels automatically.
Note: Adobe Captivate must be able to detect a recording device before trying to calibrate. Check that a microphone
or recording device using “line in” is connected to your computer properly and is turned on before calibrating.
To calibrate a microphone or recording device:
1 Open the Adobe Captivate project for which you want to record a new audio file.
2 Select Audio > Settings.
The Audio settings dialog box appears.
3 Click Calibrate input.
The Calibrate microphone dialog box appears.
4
To set the correct recording device level, read the following sentence into the microphone until the red
recording window becomes green:
“I am setting my microphone recording level for use with Adobe Captivate.”
5
When you finish, click OK.
Recording audio
If you have a microphone connected to your computer, you can record audio to be included on a slide. You can
use audio for many types of narration or instruction. For example, if you have text captions in a project, you can
record a voice-over narration track of someone reading the text on the captions.
To record audio:
1
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
