What are Sound Settings?
The Sound Settings window allows you to enable features that may enhance the quality of your recording. The sound settings apply to the sound as it is being recorded. These settings have no effect on your sound once the recording is completed. Click the Sound Settings tab at the bottom of the Quick Recorder to access the Sound Settings.
- Vocal Compression
- Often used to control dynamic range, which reduces fluctuations in sound levels, this option reduces the difference between quiet and loud passages. Vocal compression is especially useful for spoken word recordings. Low Compression is selected by default to accommodate a normal speaking range. High compression allows for a more aggressive reduction in overall levels.
- Mic Boost
- Doubles the input signal. This option increases the level of many microphones and devices with low output.
- Phase Shift
- Adds a unique phasing effect to your sound.
Note: Be careful that your sound level does not peak. When your input signal is too high, a red light appears above the input fader.
Note: Sound effects cannot be removed from your recording after completion. You may want to test different sound settings before you start recording your project. You can test the resulting sounds by changing the settings during a test recording. When you are happy with your sound, you can leave the settings in place. Quick Recorder will retain your settings for your next recording session.
