Dear Friends,
This is in reference to one of our friends who helped me with a question on my recording problem. To recollect the issue: I am having severe problem in recoding in MAGIX because the recorded voice is coming very feeble.

The question is in the link:
http://www.magix.info/uk/recording.knowledge.1032418.html

“Hi,
You have a function in Windows to boost the microhone level. To do, double click the speaker icon from right botton hand on the computer screen,to access Volume control, click the Options tab, Option properties, checkmark Recording and check under the microphone level Advanced button From this button you can boost the microphone level.
Regards,
YR”

However I can’t do that. Attached is my screenshot from my lappy with Windows 7 as operating system. When I click the volume icon, I get the screenshot and nothing which our friend has suggested.
Someone please help as the recording level is very low.

Hi,

Windows 7 is different from XP and others Windows operation systems. Since few years I use a USB microphone this bypass the sound card in the computer giving much better sound quality. Try to use a Cyber Acoustics headset microphone. This is low price microphone but in my case gives better result than my high class microphone. Microphone Cyber Acoustics is under $40. A recent evaluation for microphone place some brands better than Shure material... better and 5 times less on price. The reason that USB is better because is completly independant from computer sound card. The sound card take too much energy and sometimes the sound recorded is not synchronized with action or mouth.

Regards,

Dear YR,
Thanks for the response.
But I must add here that it was just a month back when the recoding through MAGIX was superb but suddenly things went so feeble. You are right that external devices can help but I want this MAGIX option.
I don’t know if I have touched something by mistake that the recoding is not coming properly.
Kindly help.
Regards.

Hi Anirban

With the microphone plugged in open the following:

Control panel, Hardware and Sound, Manage audio devices,

On the Recording tab select the microphone and click the Properties button bottom right of the window.

Select the Levels tab - her you should see the microphone boost option.

What type of microphone are you using - if it is a condenser mic does it have an internal battery that requires replacing?
