Monitor or Adjust Volume
The Audio panel contains controls for monitoring and adjusting the volume of the audio stream you are encoding. The controls include:
Recording-level meter. Use to view a visual representation of the sound level of your content as it is encoded. As the sound level increases, the color of the meter changes. Recording at too high or too low of a level will give you unsatisfactory results. For best results, try to keep your recording level constant.
Recording-level control. This control is similar to the master recording-volume control available in the mixer application that comes with your audio card. Use it to adjust the audio level of the content you are encoding. When you adjust this control in the encoder, the control in your mixer application is adjusted simultaneously. If your audio card drivers do not support a master recording-volume control, this control is not available.
Mute button. Use to silence the audio track while encoding. Your capture card determines the availability of this button. If your card does not have a mute control, the Mute button is not available. To determine whether your card contains a mute control, double-click the Volume icon in the lower-right corner of your screen and select the recording properties.
To monitor and adjust audio volume:
- Click Audio Volume button from the camera window.
- Use slider to adjust the audio level.
- Use the Mute button to silence the audio track.
