Well, I'm stuck at home sick, so i might aswell do lesson 3
LESSON 3 PART 1: Setting the Computer
All right...
I'm just gunna run throught the adobe audition software, which is very beginer oriented, but if your more advanced, then maybe you should use the time u would reading this lesson, to learn how to use a different program!
ADOBE AUDITION
Please Note: adobe audition is simply an updated version of cool edit 2.0
Step one Select your input: Make sure you have your mixer plugged into the line in on your sound card, not the mic in. You can tell the difference, because one has a picture of a mic next to it (this is on standard souncards that come with the computer). If you have a different model, read the manual.
Go to one of the drag down menues at the top of the screen (near FILE and EDIT i think it might be options). In one of those menues is a thing called windows recrding mixer. Once youve clicked on that, you need to select line in, if it isn't already selected, and make sure the fader is about 4 fifths of the way up.
Next go to options again and click monitor record levels. Play your whatever it is your playing and see how high it goes on the meter. Adjust the volume output on your mixer, so that the level only occasionally goes into the red, or never at all.
Now click the little red R on the track you want to record on and start playing. Once your done, turn the little Red R off and turn it on on the next track, and record the next one etc.
I'm not going to go through how to use th effects and stuff cos its all in the help menu!
Sorry for that extremely boring lesson but it had to be done!
Next Lesson: Recording DrumS
