4.4.9.6 RECORDING A WAVE FILE
Start off by selecting New from the File menu or clicking the New file button on
the tool bar to open the Sound Attributes dialog box.
In the Sound Attributes dialog box, choose settings for the sampling rate, stereo on
or off, and the format. Choose one of the PCM (uncompressed) formats if you want
the highest sound quality or if you wish to edit or modify the recording with Effects
commands before you save it. Use one of the other formats if you don't mind
sacrificing sound quality for disk space. When you are finished, click OK.
Next, check your muting and recording volume levels on the Audio Mixer to be sure
the sources you want to record from are active and at the proper levels.
Now you are ready to record. Click the Record button and speak into the
microphone or turn on whatever audio device(s) you are recording from. Click the
Stop button to end recording.
