The following is a cut & paste from the AAEVP website (techniques page) on setting up your input device: (kudos to them for keeping me from having to explain this step)
“To configure a personal computer so that the input sound is directed to DC6, open the SOUND AND AUDIO DEVICES program in the Control Panel, select the AUDIO tab and click on the SOUND PLAYBACK VOLUME button. Select all of the MUTE check boxes except WAVE and PLAYBACK. Click on the SOUND RECORDING VOLUME button and select the MICROPHONE check box.”
Now on to DC6/7
If you are just using the demo version you can only record for about 60 seconds. You will need to exit and restart the multi-filter window in order to record another 60 seconds.
I you have a registered version; you can record till your hard drive is full.
Once you’ve opened DC6/7:
Click the Filter tab on the taskbar
Select Multi Filter
A new window opens
From here you can drag and drop whichever filters you want to use
Let’s keep it simple and only use Continuous Noise 1
Once the Continuous Noise icon is in the Multi-filter window, double click the icon
This brings up the properties window for Continuous Noise
Make sure the CNF Mode window shows Normal CNF
Lets keep things simple by using the following settings by highlighting the appropriate box and entering the following values:
Set Attack to 10
Set Release to 50
Set Attenuation to 25
Do Not Click On The Preview Button Of This Window. It will crash the program and you will have to start again. This feature is Only for an audio file you already have open.
Click on the Close button to return to the Multi-Filter window
From the Multi-Filter window:
Click the Browse button
The My Music folder of your My Documents folder opens up
Give your File a name (do not use DC6/7LiveLog.wav as your file name)
Your File Type should already say Wave
Click the Open button
This brings you back to the Multi-Filter window
You are now ready to record
Do not turn on your speakers. Use Headphones or Earbuds
Click the Live Preview button
Say something (test..test)
You will hear a delay in your voice….this is ok. It will not affect the recording
When you are ready:
Click the Log Output button (once and only once)
When you want to stop recording Click the Log Output button again
Close out the Multi-Filter window
Go to the My Music folder in you’re my Documents folder and you should see your recorded file.
You can now open your file with an audio program and fiddle with it to your hearts content.
Depending on your computer setup, you may have to adjust the Continuous Noise settings till you find what works best for you. Same goes for other filters you may want to play with. Just make several test files till you’re happy with the result and then begin your sessions in earnest.
If you’re going to tell me that you want to use your headphones to listen as your record but the voice delay is messing you up when you ask questions….I don’t know what to tell you other than to have someone else ask the questions or just muddle through it by asking your question without stopping.
You can also print out your questions on paper and tape them nearby. Explain to the spirit your problem and ask them to answer the questions in the order it is written. They do know how to read. If you haven’t tried this method; do so. It really does work
I sure hope this works for you. I use DC7 and this method works for me.
