Some computers are equipped with more than one wave device. In order to check which audio card is currently being used for recording and/or to select the preferred device use the Hardware info dialog available after choosing the Hardware command from the Options menu.

In order to create a new recording:

2. Select the name for the new recording, or pick one of the existing names and click the Overwrite button.

3. Set the record mode (number of channels, sampling frequency, sampling resolution).

4. Click the PAUSE button to initialize the volume meter(s). Start the audio device you wish to record from, and adjust the output level while monitoring the level display.

5. Rewind or go to the beginning of your source, press the RECORD button, and start the audio device. The available disk space and the current length of the recorded material (both in bytes and seconds) are displayed in the lower part of the Record dialog.

6. When the recording is complete, click the STOP button or press ENTER.

When you press the CLOSE button, the Record dialog will disappear and the recorded soundfile will be loaded on the screen.
