The Record mixer selects the recording source and provides control over the
recording volume and balance for each DMAN PCI audio device. Since the
Windows Mixer always starts up with the Master mixer showing, you will
need to manually select the Record mixer in order to view it. Do this by select-
ing Options | Properties from the Master mixer. A dialog box will appear, and
you may then select "Recording" from the box labeled "Adjust volume for."
See the section "Windows Mixer Properties Page" for more information about
this dialog box.
The Record mixer allows you to select one input at a time for recording. This is
accomplished by checking the "Select" box below the desired device. A special

and balances, simply click and drag the desired controls with your mouse.
