Subject:Recording Posted by: JohnGG Date:9/18/2003 6:51:57 PM I am still trying to get Sound Forge Studio to record a signal from the Sound Blaster line input. I have the Mixer volumes right up but I cannot find a way to set the record level in Sound Forge. In the Manual under "Setting the Record Level" on page 125/126 seems to indicate that, after clicking the Monitor box, I can click on the level indicators in the Record Dialogue box and then drag them to the setting I want. But the level indicators do not respond to my clicking them and I cannot drag them. What am I doing wrong?

Bring up the volume control panel for the sound card, then click Options / Properties / Recording / OK. This is where you set the input source and levels for recording.

Not sure because I have only used the Studio version. Regardless, I use the Windows Master Volume control to adjust volume input. Don't forget within Windows Master volume, under Options, Properties you choose what controls to view. Good luck....
Subject:RE: Recording Reply by: Chienworks Date:9/19/2003 6:56:58 AM I don't believe Sound Forge, either Studio or full version, allow setting the record volume level. At least if they do, i haven't found it and the manual doesn't say how to do it. As far as i can tell, the only way to adjust it is through the sound card's mixer panel or at the external device feeding the sound card.
