Recording Music!
|
Ok... You've got the perfect music for PLEO, but
MySkit won't open the
file! Gaa!
Unfortunately, there are dozens of sound formats, and
MySkit
only knows a few flavors.
What to do?!?! It's simple! Record
it with MySkit's Wave Editor!
Use Windows Media Player (or whatever) to play the original
music, while MySkit records a PLEO compatible version. |
Our goals in this tutorial are:
Let's get started!
|
1.0
Prepare MySkit for Recording
|
|
(1) |
Start
MySkit. A new skit is automatically prepared for
you.
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
Click the "Sound's" toolbar button,
to select the Wave editor.
|
 |
|
|
(3)
|
Click the "Setup" button
in the MySkit Wave editor. |
|
|
|
(4)
|
Select the "Mix" sound
source. The actual name varies between computers.
For example:
"Wave Out Mix",
"Mono Mix", or "Stereo Mix"
You'll probably need to adjust the recording volume, a little goes a
long way.
Windows
Vista Users: A bug in Vista might place all sound
sources into the "Recording Device" drop-list, or the Mix source might
be disabled (and unavailable). Click here
for some extra steps to try.
|
|
|
(1) |
Open the sound file you
want to record in Windows Media Player
(or whatever media program you
prefer).
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
Pause the player before
the interesting bit. |
 |
|
(1) |
Click "Record" in
the MySkit Wave editor. |
|
|
|
(2)
|
Quickly click "Play" on
the media player. |
|
|
|
(3)
|
Once the
song is finished (or you've captured the interesting bit),
click the MySkit Wave "Stop" button.
|
|
|
| (1) |
Click
the toolbar "Play" to test the recording.
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
If the recording is
too loud or quiet, the recording
volume needs tweaking. Click the Wave "Setup" button
again. Adjust the
volume & record the song once more. Select "Undo" from the Edit menu to erase the last
recording.
|
|
|
|
(3)
|
If
only silence was recorded, the wrong sound source was used.
Click "Setup" and try another. If your computer has
multiple sound cards, select a different device in the "Setup" window.
|
|
|
| (4) |
If the music is loud
enough, but seems scratchy, it's probably fine. PLEO's
8-bit audio can sound a little rough on PC's.
|
|
|
|
| (5) |
Save
it!
You're done!
