WWW.TURTLEBEACH.COM RECORD SETTINGS Audio recording can be accomplished with a program such as Windows Recorder (in the Accessories section of the Start All Programs list), or other digital audio recording software. The record source is selected by clicking the Record Source pull-down menu in the Record Settings section of the Mixer tab. After selecting a record source, the recording level may be adjusted with the volume control located above the record source pull-down menu. The VU meter indicates the recording level. When recording, set the recording level so that the VU meters do not enter the red zone, other than during short audio peaks. The Record Source Pull-down Menu allows the following inputs to be used as a recording source: S/PDIF In: Selects the digital audio S/PDIF input. Since the signal is in digital format, the volume control does not function when S/PDIF is selected. The digital volume level is already optimized by the transmitting source and cannot be adjusted. o To record S/PDIF at the 96kHz sample rate, the 96kHz S/PDIF Out setting must be enabled (2000/XP only). o To record any other S/PDIF rate, the Dolby Digital Live mode must disabled and S/PDIF out should either be disabled or set to 44.1kHz or 48kHz. Microphone: Selects the mic input as a record source. If the microphone recording level is too low, boost the volume by clicking the options button below the microphone volume slider in the playback mixer to set the Microphone Boost option. CD Player: Selects the internal analog CD player input as a record source. Aux (not available in Vista/Windows 7): Selects the Aux internal analog connection as a record source. Line In (not available in Vista/Windows 7): Selects the Line Input as a record source. Wave (not available in Vista/Windows 7): Selects the Wave digital audio as a record source. Stereo Mix (not available in Vista/Windows 7): Selects the output of the playback mixer as a record source. This may be used to combine audio sources into a single stereo source for recording. For example, the microphone and WAV signals may be mixed together and recorded from this source. NOTE ON SELECTING RECORD SOURCE IN WINDOWS VISTA/WINDOWS 7 Due to changes in Windows Vista/Windows 7, the Montego DDL Control Panel's ‗Mixer' tab alone cannot select the recording source. In Vista/Windows 7, the ―Record Source‖ slider instead is labeled ―Record Level‖ because it can only control the recording input's level. An additional step must be taken to select the recording source in Windows Vista/Windows 7. To select the record source, right-click on the speaker icon in the Taskbar System Tray (in the lower right-hand corner of the screen) and select ―Recording Devices‖. When the Recording Devices dialog window appears, it will display the available recording sources for the Montego DDL. To choose a record source, simply click on the item in the list, and then click the ‗Set Default' button. Montego DDL 33
