This recording mode is for those drives unable to extract digital audio (with or without Error Correction), or which are unable to extract it without considerable jitter (poor seeking accuracy). Please also see Digital Recording.
Analog is the slowest recording option because you must record in real play time. You must still select a compression type (CD Quality or Near CD Quality) with either digital or analog formats. Analog recordings are all done in MP3 format.
The difference in sound quality between digital and analog should be minimal, depending on the quality of your sound card and PC system.
If your program crashes during a muted recording, you may find that upon re-boot your PC sound is muted. Please go to Volume Controls and de-select mute to correct this situation.
If you receive a green box on the progress bar at the end of your recording session, this means that recording was successful with optimum quality. If you receive a yellow box, it means that recording was successful but with reduced sound quality. If you receive a red box, it means that recording was unsuccessful. You will then see an error code at the bottom of the screen explaining your error. Click here for Record Error Code Descriptions.
