Microphone; Mixing; Playing Back - NEC VERSA LX Manual

Microphone

You can capture and record sounds through the internal microphone on
the NEC Versa or through an external microphone that connects to the
system through the microphone port. You can record voice-overs for
narration, reminders, or special instructions.
See "Recording," explained earlier in this chapter, for details about
recording sound with the microphone. Although the example given
shows how to record sound from a CD or tape, the procedure is the same
for recording with a microphone.

Mixing

With the Microsoft Sound Recorder on your NEC Versa, you can mix
data from two separate wave files to create a new sound file. You can
also mix the microphone volume to create soft background sounds to
accompany a voice-over or another more prominent sound. Mixing lets
you blend digital and MIDI audio files to get the final, high-quality
soundtrack you want.
See the online help that is available with the Sound Recorder for more
information.

Playing Back

You can play back your recorded soundtrack through stereo headphones,
the internal NEC Versa stereo speakers, or external stereo speakers. You
can play .wav and .mid files as well as CD audio. Adjust the volume
through the software or with the volume control knob on the right side of
the system.
Play audio from files or audio devices as follows. (This example shows
how to use the Media player option in Accessories. You can also play
audio through the Sound Recorder. See the Sound Recorder help files for
details on its use.)
