[. . . ] Push the slider in the direction required (if you push it upward it will increase the volume; pushing downward will reduce the volume) then click on the 'OK' button. The altered volume is shown in the section selected. 5. 6. 4 Fading in and out There are four different methods available for fade-in and fade-out effects. To fade in, the volume of the selected section is relatively intensely reduced at the beginning and then reduced less and less towards the end. Fading out is exactly the opposite; the volume of the selected section is reduced relatively little at the beginning but then diminishes more and more toward the end. The fade in and fade out effects follow a mathematical curve. Linear ­ the volume is reduced or increased at a rate proportional to the time Exponential ­ the volume increases in line with an exponential function. Logarithmic ­ the volume increases in line with a logarithmic function. Sinusoidal ­ the volume increases at an interval of half the wavelength of a sinusoidal function. Open an audio file and highlight the section you want. In the 'Volume' menu, select the 'Fade In' or 'Fade Out' command and select the effect you require.

The signal received from the record player's magnetic sampling system cannot be directly fed into the soundcard's line-in input, as the signal is frequencydistorted for technical reasons. A so-called 'frequency corrector preamplifier' between the sampling system and the soundcard is needed in order to correct the frequency response. This is most easily performed using the amplifier's phono input. In order to rerecord, you will need: a record player an amplifier a computer with a soundcard around 700 MB free memory cables to connect the individual components Sometimes leakage pickups (humming) can arise when the soundcard is linked to the amplifier. The humming is caused when two devices that have already been grounded (earthed) are connected with one audio cable. A by-pass power filter or transformer can solve the problem. Sometimes it is simply enough if the devices are connected to different power sources. 1. Connect the record player to the amplifier. Clean the record.

In the 'File' menu, select the 'New' command. In the 'Audio' menu, select the 'Record' command and determine the desired sampling rate and sampling resolution. To so this, click on the dropdown button and highlight the desired list box. For a recording that is to be written on a CD, a sampling rate of 44100 Hz and a sampling resolution of 16 bit are recommended. 4. Click on the 'OK' button to take over these settings. The recording console will appear. 5. [. . . ] If you check the 'High Quality' box, a complex algorithm is used for interpolation. If your PC is not fast enough for high quality mode, you should uncheck this box. Check the box in the 'Decrackle' area if you want to remove crackling. Specify the sensitivity of the Decrackler by turning the corresponding knobs to set the detection threshold and the crackle reduction level.
