Recording audio with DART
CD-Recorder Version 3 Plus:

Double-click on the icon next to the clock that looks like a speaker. This will bring up the "Volume Control."
Click on the "Options" menu and select "Properties."
Under "Properties" select the "Recording" option and make sure all of the volume controls are selected on the bottom of the "Properties" dialog box. Click on "OK."
Now the "Recording Control" Dialog box will appear. Make sure that the proper line is selected (Usually "Line-In" or "Line"). The proper option must be selected or you will not be able to record any of the input. To select the proper line, you must make sure the correct "Select" option box is checked.
Adjust the recording control of the source you are recording from to the proper volume. The proper volume would be when the DART CD-Recorder can record a soundfile and there is no clipping of the sound while recording.

Return to DART CD-Recorder and select the "Record" button (the button that looks like a vinyl record).
A dialogue box appears asking you to name the file that will be recorded. Type in the name you want your new recording to have and then click on "Save".

You are now in the "Record" dialogue box. You need to select the correct Sample Rate, Channel Type, and number of bits you want to record in.
- Sample Rate: We suggest that if you are recording from a record, LP, or tape that you use 22KHz Sample Rate. However if you are recording from a Mini-Disc, DAT Tape, or any high fidelity audio source you should select the 44Khz Sample Rate.
- Channel Type: Unless you are recording from a "mono" source (only one channel, no left or right output), you should probably leave "Stereo" selected. Stereo means that thee are two pieces of an audio recording, one channel represents the left output, and the other channel represents the right output.
- Number of Bits: Finally, select the number of bits (8 or 16). Selecting 8 bits gives you less quality than 16, however it will be half the size of a 16 bit sound file.
Now that your decibel level is where you want it, you can start recording the input. Restart the source of your recording and click the "Record" button (The in the record dialog box, and play the audio source. You are now recording everything that you hear from the audio source.
When the music from the source stops playing or you want to stop recording, click the stop button in the record box and stop your audio source. Next click on "OK".
You should now see your audio file in the file list box.
