![]() The following dialog is then displayed (shown with some fields filled in): ![]() Ensure that 'Record or import a new album' is selected as shown above.Close the Check Level window, if it is open.Once everything is connected and working, note the following area of the Record window: If you need to boost the playback level after recording, you will find the tools to do it in the Graphic Equaliser window. The cable you need is a 3.5mm Jack to Twin Phono Lead as pictured here. VinylStudio's normal level control will then become available. If this is a major bugbear for you, you might consider disconnecting the USB cable and running a cable from line out on the USB device (most USB devices have one) to line in on your computer's soundcard instead. The NAD is calibrated for most popular cartridges and implements something called 'soft clipping' which reduces the severity of the distortion that clipping introduces. Some Ion USB turntables have a manual control on the back of the unit and some USB phono preams have a gain control. There is nothing VinylStudio can do about this as any clipping which occurs happens before the signal reaches the computer. Some USB devices, notably the Ion USB Turntable and the NAD PP-3 / 4 phono pre-amp, have no software level adjustment. Why is The Recording Level Slider Disabled? The slider just boosts or cuts the gain after the signal has been digitised, and either of these actions is undesirable. The important thing to note is that the recording level on your USB audio device is not adjustable. This gives the best dynamic range and minimises the risk of clipping. In this case, you should use the 'Set Digital Gain to 1` button to set the recording level. If you have a USB device on Windows Vista or later, the Check Level dialog might look like this: WASAPI is a Windows technology that offers a cleaner signal path when recording and is this recommended if you can use it. In this case, select your input device from the Input Device dropdown and leave Use WASAPI enabled unless you have difficulties, in which case please try unchecking it. If you are using Windows Vista or later, the Check Level dialog looks a little different: ![]() If you wish to record in DSD format, see also Recording in DSD Format There are some details on how to do this here. If you cannot get the recording indicators to move in time with the music, you will need to check that you turntable (or tape deck) is hooked up to your correctly. If the indicators flash completely red, you definitely need to reduce the recording level. The recording level indicators should just enter the red zone on the loudest sections of music. While the album is still playing, adjust the recording level using the slider. If all is well, you should see the recording level indicators moving in time with the music (you may need to select the correct input device and (on XP) source line in the dropdown boxes first time through): Start the record or tape playing and then click on the Check Level button.
