To record from the line-in connectors
Once you have created a new session the Line-In Record
screen allows you to begin the recording process:
If your Line-in Source is the analogue input connector, you
will need to set the recording Gain to an appropriate level.
To achieve the best quality recording try to play the loudest
passage from the music you are going to record and set the
gain such that the loudest peaks are in the yellow region of
the signal level meters. The Peak Level dB indicator shows
the maximum level reached so far.
To adjust the recording gain setting
• Use the 9 or 8 keys to highlight the Gain (dB)
option and press the 3Edit action key.
• Use the 9 or 8 keys to highlight the appropriate gain
option.
• Use the 6 or 7 keys to adjust the gain setting to
ensure that the loudest peaks in volume are in the
yellow region of the signal level meters. Press the
3Clear action key at any time to reset the peak level
marker.
• Press the 5Select action key to confirm your
settings and return to the Line-In Record screen.
Note: If you have selected either the coaxial or optical digital
input as your line-in source the gain setting may not be
altered. The signal indicator in this case will show whether a
valid digital connection has been made. If the signal indicator
shows protected the current digital source has been copy
protected and may not be recorded onto your Music Server
using the digital inputs.
