2) Set your record level using the VU meters or the
Oscilloscope screen (under the View menu) and the
Input Level and/or Mic Level bars.
3) If you have several windows open, you may want to
close them (save if desired) to compress the
available memory and get a larger Max Block into
which you can record .
• :. Note:
While recording, the GS will be completely
occupied with digitizing; all other functions (VU
meters, mouse, etc.) are disabled.
The Cassette Label
The number on the cassette label tells how many bytes the
file occupies in memory. When working with stereo files,
the cassette label gives the combined bytes for both the left
channel and the right channel. The file, ASOUND, shown at
the first of this chapter, is 18,855 bytes -- about 19K .
Single Play/Continuous Play
If you want the selected portion to play only once, select the
Single Play button. If you want it to play in a continuous loop,
click the Continuous Play button.
VUOn/VUOff
The VU meter is a visual representation of the input levels
being sent from the device you have connected to the Audio
Animator's In connector or to the Mic jack. Turn it On or
Off by clicking the appropriate button. Use the VU meter in
conjunction with the Mic Level and Input Level bars to get
the best recording level.
Playback Sample Rate
The Playback Sample Rate bar lets you control how fast or
slow (in Hertz) the file is played back. You can change this
setting even while in play mode. If the sound file you load in
contains the information about the speed at which it was
originally recorded, the Playback Sample Rate will be set
accordingly. If the file contains only raw data, playback will
be set to the default setting of 22,200 Hz. You can then adjust
the rate until it sounds correct and save it in a format that will
remember the playback rate you have set; AE, AI!'!', 2:1, or
2.67:1 formats all save the playback rate information.
