5-2 Using Multimedia
1.
To record from an external device such as a portable tape player, you
need a cable with audio jacks on both ends. Set up your hardware as
follows:
Connect one end of the audio cable to the Line Out jack on the exter-
nal device. (On some devices, you can record from the headphones
port.)
Connect the other end of the cable to the Line In port on the NEC
Versa. (You can also use the microphone port to record monaural
sound.)
To record from the internal CD-ROM or from file, go to step 2.
2.
From Windows, open the AudioRack program group and start the
AudioRack program (in Windows 95, this is called AudioRack32). The
AudioRack control panel (similar to the following) appears on your
screen.
The control panel provides six different panels. (If your control panel of-
fers fewer, simply press the device buttons next to the power button. The
missing panels will appear.) These panels include the following:
The top four control power (power panel), stereo mixing (3D-Stereo
panel), volume control (Mixer panel), and recording (DAT panel).
The lower two panels control your input sources, including:
MIDI panel for recording from existing MIDI or RMI files.
CD panel for recording from the CD-ROM reader.
3.
Prepare for your recording as follows:
From the Power panel, press the button that specifies your recording
source. For example, press CD to pick CD input and display the CD
control panel if it is not shown.
In the 3D-Stereo panel, specify the spatial attributes to use for
3D-stereo recording. (See the online help that comes with AudioRack
for details.)
In the Mixer panel, press the record button to indicate that you are
planning to make a recording. Specify which recording device you
plan to use by pressing the appropriate button on the right-hand side
of the Mixer panel.
