Case 1: 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. Open Super Mp3 Recorder.
3. Click "Option" button to select the
recording properties in the dialog box. 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
sound file is located in the recording history list where you can
play, edit, copy or delete it.

Case 2: Recording from
videotape
You can get the audio from videotape to Mp3 or Wav files with
Super Mp3 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. Open Super Mp3 Recorder.
3. Click "Option" button to select the
recording properties in the dialog box. 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 in Super Mp3 Recorder. 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. The recording sound file is located in the recording
history list where you can play, edit, copy or delete it.

Case 3: Recording from
WinAmp or stream audio from Internet
1. Open Super Mp3 Recorder.
2. Click "Option" button to select the
recording properties in the dialog box. Select the Stereo Mix
device or the equivalent, adjust the recording volume for the
highest possible performance. You might see other devices, such as
CD-Player or Microphone, in the recording panel, uncheck all
non-essential devices, this cuts down background noise.
3. Now start the playback of the WinAmp or the stream audio from
Internet and click the "Record" button in Super Mp3
Recorder. Adjust the volume setting by observing a wave pattern
display of the audio as it is playing. You can pause the process
of recording by clicking the "Pause" button any time you
want and then resume it by clicking the "Resume" button.
4. When you want to stop recording, just click "Stop"
button. The recording sound file is located in the recording
history list where you can play, edit, copy or delete it.
