Velleman PROMIX22U Manuel D’Utilisation

 

To give your file a little extra flavor, you can add special effects. These effects are available in the Effects 

menu and they manipulate the entire sound file. So if you only want a portion of the file to have a special 

effect, you’ll have to copy the sound file, cut it into portions, apply the effect a portion at a time and then 

combine them again. 

 

The effects in Sound Recorder are: 

 

   

This increases the volume by 25%. (However, you can select this 

option twice for a 50% increase, three times for a 75% increase, 

and so on.)

   

   

This decreases the volume by 25%.

   

   

This doubles the rate of a sound’s playback.

   

   

This slows the rate of a sound’s playback by 50%.

   

   

This adds an audio reverb.

   

   

This reverses the sound so it can be played backward.

   

Sound Recorder included with Windows 95 and Windows 98 has a default maximum time of 60 seconds of 

continuous recording. If you stop recording at any point before reaching the 60 second limit, you can then 

continue recording and have another 60 seconds of continuous time before Sound Recorder automatically 

stops. You can repeat this start-stop routine indefinitely if you need to record a long passage as one file.

 

Here's an alternate method to increase the maximum recording time in Sound Recorder: 

 

1. 

Make sure your 

 is muted so it will not pick up sound. 

 

2. 

Click Record, and then let Sound Recorder run for 60 seconds (recording silence).

   

3. 

After Sound Recorder stops recording, click Save As on the File menu, and name the file Blank.wav. 

4. 

To increase the maximum recording time in Sound Recorder, click Insert File on the Edit menu, and 

then insert the Blank.wav file that you saved in step 3. When you do this, the maximum recording 

time is increased by 60 seconds. You can repeat this step once for each additional minute of 

recording time that you want to add. For example, for a 5-minute recording time, insert the 

Blank.wav file five times.

   

Installation

 - If the Sound Recorder (sndrec32.exe) is not already installed on your system, you will find 

instructions for its installation by clicking Start>Help, then choosing the Index tab and typing "Sound 

Recorder". Display the instruction by double clicking on Installation. Also, install the Windows 95 volume 

control by placing a check in the volume control box when checking the Sound Recorder box during the 

Sound Recorder installation process. 

 

Microphone

 - To record sound, any inexpensive microphone with a mini plug that fits into your sound card 

microphone jack on your computer will do. An inexpensive stand microphone that you can buy in a 

computer store is nice, since it frees your hands for keyboarding. A slightly more expensive 

headset/microphone allows you to also listen in privacy without disturbing others around you.
