Section 3 – Recording your first CD
1) Setup
After initially running the Spin It Again program, it is recommended that you check on
some initial setup items before you start recording.
a)
Click on the “Settings…” button.
b)
On the “
Recording
” tab, you can check and
change the location of the recording folder.
This is where all temporary recordings are
stored for your projects.
c)
The sensitivity for the program’s automatic
track detection is also set on the “Recording”
page. See the program help for further details.
d)
You can optionally run the level wizard which will aid you in correctly adjusting the amount of gain
the software imposes on the incoming audio. Note that this is software control only when used
with a USB Audio device, thus if your source is either too loud or too soft for the device itself,
volume will have to be adjusted at the source or through an amp/mixer.
e)
On the “Audio” Tab, you should confirm that
your playback and recording devices are set to
match what was selected in the earlier
hardware setup stage.
i)
The playback device should be your sound
card or, if everything was previously set
correctly, “Default Wave Device” can be
selected.
ii)
The recording device should be set to the USB Audio CODEC (the ADS Device).
iii)
In order to hear your music as you’re recording it, you should check the option to monitor
recording through the playback device.
f)
When you’ve got everything set to your satisfaction, click OK.
2) Recording
You’ll begin the
recording process by selecting either to
“Record A Vinyl LP” or to “Record A
Cassette Tape.”
a)
The first time you make one of these
selections, you’ll be asked if you
wish to run the level and hookup
wizards.
These wizards are optional but
if you have problems hearing sound while
recording, the
Hookup Wizar
d will guide
you through the correct way to hook
everything up.
