Using Sound Card Mixer Tutorial for Windows

Recording from microphone
Most sound cards provide the ability to receive sound input from a microphone through the sound card microphone port. This is useful for recording voice or sounds to your computer.
1. Check Your Hardware: If your microphone has never worked, or it stopped working, first check the physical connection of the microphone. Verify that it is firmly plugged into the microphone port instead of the headphone or speaker port. If you are not sure which port is correct, you can check the sound card to see if it is marked (sometimes with a picture of a microphone), you can use a process of elimination, check the documentation that came with your hardware, or contact the hardware manufacturer.
2. Set the parameters and select the output directory for your output file.
3. On the 'Input Device' panel, select the microphone device, adjust the recording volume for the highest possible performance. You might see other devices, such as CD-Player or Synthesizer (MIDI), in the recording panel, uncheck all non-essential devices, this cuts down background noise.
4. Click 'Record' button, and then speak into the microphone. If the microphone is plugged into the correct jack, the wave patterns on the display should move up and down. If it does not move, sound is not making it through your microphone. If the wave does move, press 'Stop' button, and then press 'Play' button to listen to your recording. The recording is the destination sound file you selected.

Recording from videotape
You can get the audio from videotape to WAV or MP3 or OGG or WMA files with this recorder.
1. Connect the left and right audio-out terminals on the VCR to the line-in or microphone terminal on the sound card.
2. Set the parameters and select the output directory for your output file.
3. On the 'Input Device' panel, select the line-in or microphone device, adjust the recording volume for the highest possible performance. You might see other devices, such as CD-Player or Synthesizer (MIDI), in the recording panel, uncheck all non-essential devices, this cuts down background noise.
4. Now start the playback of the VCR and click the 'Record' button. You should see a wave pattern display of the audio as it is playing. If the volume settings are too high, you see the wave patterns being clipped off and appearing to fill the recording window. If the settings are too low, you see only very small variations in the wave pattern. If the sound is being clipped off because the volume is too high, move the line-in or microphone volume setting down until most of the volume range is displayed without clipping. If the sound is too low, increase the volume setting. Ok, here's the trick with the line-in or microphone input. If the recording effect is satisfactory, then stop the recording test by clicking 'Stop' button.
5. Depending on your sound card and the volume of the audio source, you might not get enough volume using the line-in input. In this case try the microphone input, as the volume sensitivity through the microphone input is generally greater than with the line-in input.
6. OK, let's rewind the tape and start the playback from the point you want to record. Hit the 'Record' button and stand by. When you want to stop recording, just click 'Stop' button, and the destination sound file is there.

Using Sound Card Mixer Tutorial for Windows
If you cannot locate your sound card as an input device in Ease Jukebox, you can use the Windows Volume Control instead.
In the Taskbar tray, in the lower right corner of the computer screen, double-click the speaker icon. The Volume Control dialog box appears.
If you do not have a speaker icon in your taskbar tray, you can display the Recording Control directly.
To display it in Windows 98 or ME, click Start > Settings > Control Panel. You can then click Sounds and Multimedia. On the Audio tab of the Sounds and Multimedia dialog box, click the Volume button in the Sound Playback group.
In Windows XP, click Start > Control Panel. Click the Sounds and Audio icon. On the Audio tab of the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties dialog box, click Volume.
You can control which sound card speaker-input controls appear in the Volume Control window. In the Volume Control window, click Options > Properties.
Select the controls that you want to appear.
For each speaker-input shown, you can see a Volume slider and Mute checkbox, and perhaps other controls for balance, and so forth. The Volume slider controls the loudness for that particular speaker input and Mute turns it off completely.
Important
The Volume Control dialog box only sets options for speaker output and does not control recording. Do not clear the checkbox for the Microphone Mute control and turn up the microphone volume. If you do this, the Ease Jukebox Recorder cannot record from the microphone.
Click Options > Properties again.
Select Recording and select all the controls. The Volume Control dialog box is replaced by Record Control.
For each recording input, you can click a Select checkbox and adjust Volume slider. Do one of the following:
If you want to record from the microphone, check the Microphone Select checkbox.
If you want to record from Line-In, select the Line-In Select checkbox.
If the recording volume is too low, turn up the appropriate Volume slider.
