Record Tone

Choosing Record Tone from the Record Menu will set up the subsequent record session to record a test tone (mono) or tones (stereo).

A dialog box will appear where you will be able to choose the amplitude and frequency of the tone(s) to be recorded. Each tone is a simple sine wave. Click and drag the appropriate slider to adjust each parameter.

For greater precision in selecting the frequency, click the frequency readout below the frequency control and enter the precise frequency in Hertz (Hz) and click the Enter Frequency button.

Click Record Tone(s) when you are done with choosing tone parameters to start recording.

If recording is in the monophonic mode, only the left channel of the dialog applies. The default settings are 440 Hz and -7.0 dB. The amplitude is expressed in dB referenced to the clip level. If you specify 0.0 dB the tone will be at the clip level. Because the top of the tape display is -6 dB in mono any level above it will saturate the tape display.

If recording is set to stereophonic, the default settings are 440 Hz for the left channel, 880 Hz for the right channel and a level of -13 dB for both. The top of the tape display in stereo is -12 dB. Anything above this level will saturate the stereo tape display. You can mute the left or right channel by clicking the corresponding check box.
