In the 'Volume' menu, select the 'Normalize' command. Push the slider in the direction required (pushing it upward will lead to a higher maximum level; Nero Wave Editor Audio files · 25 pushing it down will result in a lower maximum level) then click on the 'OK' button. The altered volume is shown in the section selected. 5. 6. 3 Changing volume This section describes how to alter the volume of a selected section, for example because it is too quiet. In the 'Volume' menu, select the 'Volume change' command. Push the slider in the direction required (if you push it upward it will increase the volume; pushing downward will reduce the volume) then click on the 'OK' button. Nero Wave Editor Audio files · 26 The altered volume is shown in the section selected. 5. 6. 4 Fading in and out There are four different methods available for fade-in and fade-out effects. To fade in, the volume of the selected section is relatively intensely reduced at the beginning and then reduced less and less towards the end. Fading out is exactly the opposite; the volume of the selected section is reduced relatively little at the beginning but then diminishes more and more toward the end. Linear ­ the volume is reduced or increased at a rate proportional to the time Exponential ­ the volume increases in line with an exponential function. Logarithmic ­ the volume increases in line with a logarithmic function. Sinusoidal ­ the volume increases at an interval of half the wavelength of a sinusoidal function. In the 'Volume' menu, select the 'Fade In' or 'Fade Out' command and select the effect you require.

The signal received from the record player's magnetic sampling system cannot be directly fed into the soundcard's line-in input, as the signal is frequencydistorted for technical reasons. A so-called 'frequency corrector preamplifier' between the sampling system and the soundcard is needed in order to correct the frequency response. In order to rerecord, you will need: a record player an amplifier a computer with a soundcard around 700 MB free memory cables to connect the individual components Sometimes leakage pickups (humming) can arise when the soundcard is linked to the amplifier. The humming is caused when two devices that have already been grounded (earthed) are connected with one audio cable. Sometimes it is simply enough if the devices are connected to different power sources. Clean the record. Nero Wave Editor Recording gramophone records · 28 6. 2 Recording 1. Start Nero Wave Editor: Start > programs > Ahead Nero > Nero Wave Editor. In the 'Audio' menu, select the 'Record' command and determine the desired sampling rate and sampling resolution. To so this, click on the dropdown button and highlight the desired list box. For a recording that is to be written on a CD, a sampling rate of 44100 Hz and a sampling resolution of 16 bit are recommended. The recording console will appear. button to start recording, then place the stylus on the record. Click on the You will see the recording time and the level control display in the recording console while you are recording. [. . . ] Choose 'Declicker' from the 'Enhancement' menu. 2. Check the box in the 'Declicker' area if you want to remove clicks. Specify the sensitivity of the Declicker by turning the corresponding knobs to set the detection threshold and the maximum length of the clicks. If you check the 'High Quality' box, a complex algorithm is used for interpolation. [. . . ]
