Recording and managing audio files Recording from an audio input device 139 Adjust the recording level so that the meter indicators light up only to the middle of the meter, passing the middle only occasionally. If all of the meter indicators stay lit persistently, the recording level has passed the zero dB clipping point, and is too "hot". If this occurs, reduce your recording level. If you want Easy Audio Capture to automatically find a recording level that does not clip, click Auto. Easy Audio Capture uses the highest possible recording level. If clipping occurs, Easy Audio Capture reduces the recording level. If no clipping occurs at this new recording level, this level is used. ■ Balance: Drag the slider to balance the audio level between the left and right speakers. ■ Record Internet Audio: Select Separate Tracks if you want your recording divided into tracks and transferred to your iTunes music library. Select One Track to have the entire recording saved as a single audio file. ■ Capture settings: Click Options to open the Capture Settings dialog box. To transfer recordings to your iTunes music library, choose the following settings: ■ Click on the Save to tab and choose iTunes from the Save to drop-down menu. ■ Select the Separate Tracks after silence of check box.
