Recording Process

After hookups have been made and software installed, you are ready to record the audio. Make sure your audio recording program is set to record input from the USB port. For simple record, cut, and export of stereo audio, you may prefer to use Audacity. For more extensive editing, energyXT2 Compact may be the best choice

If recording from a tape player, make sure the player's volume is turned up all the way.

Adjust the input sensitivity of the recording program to achieve optimal sound quality. Too much signal will cause the recording to distort; too little signal will sound faint and thin, so record a test clip to ensure quality sound. The recording program should have meters that display the levels as the audio streams.
