Getting Started

Select the recording Quality level – CD Quality

MP3 (128Kbps) is recommended

•MP3 audio is MPEG Layer-3 Audio available at various encoding bit rates. The highest bit rate has the best quality sound, but uses the most disk space.

•WAV audio is unencoded music that is not compressed. This format has the best quality sound but requires the largest file size, as much as 650MB per CD. WAV audio files are much larger than MP3 audio files.

•Windows Media™ audio is a compression format crated by Microsoft. This audio format incorporates digital rights management.

Notes:

Custom Quality settings are for advanced users only.

Lyra Jukebox currently only supports MP3 audio format.

Select a CD Recording Mode

1.Check Digital and Error Correction for the best results. Error checking and correction will be performed while you are recording (if your computer doesn’t support this setting, you will get a message prompting you to change to Analog).

Note: Choosing Digital and Error Correction will slow down your recording speed.

2.Check Analog if your CD-ROM drive doesn’t support digital audio extraction.

3.Select a default Recording Source. If you have more than one recording source, select the source you record from the most.

4.Mute while Recording (this is not recommended as it will decrease the recording speed). This feature allows you to mute the audio while it is being recorded. Uncheck this box to hear the audio as it is recorded.
