Acoustica Spin it Again - Manual (Page 28)

If checked, the software will automatically split up the recording into multiple tracks. It will use
the following parameters.
Consider It A Track When
The following parameters will help determine if audio is silence, garbage or a track.
The volume is greater than X % - (Music Threshold)
If the volume is greater than X %, we consider it signal/music and not record or tape noise.
Since recordings are not perfectly silent, this is a threshold that can be used to help separate
noise from music. (The default is 10%)
It is longer than X minute(s)
If the software detects music signal and not noise (see above) for X minutes, it will consider it a
track. This helps eliminate false tracks such as record scratches, tape clicks and so on. (The
default is 1/2 minute or 0.50 minutes.)
It is separated by at least X seconds of 'silence'
Music will sometimes have silence in it and if the software considered every silent area it found
a new track, it would end up with a lot of false positive tracks. Usually, tracks will be separated
with at least two seconds of silence. (The default is 1.75 seconds.) Note that this will
consider silence to be anything under the music threshold % above.
Miscellaneous Settings
Normalize Volume
Choose between the following options:
z
Do not normalize
z
Normalize based on entire recording
z
Normalize each track individually
Normalization will be increase the audio level to the maximum possible volume without
distortion. If your recordings look more like a horizontal line, you should rerun the Recording
Level Adjustment Wizard.
and re-record. Normalizing each track indivudally will analyze the
maximum signal for a specific track and adjust the volume. Normalizing based on the entire
recording will analyze the entire recording and then adjust each track by the same amount.
Normally, you should use "Normalize based on entire recording", but "Normalize each track
individually" may work well with mix tapes or compilations.
Fade Track Edges (to reduce clicks between tracks)
This option will fade the edges (start and end) of all tracks. Note that it will not fade tracks that
have no audio gap between them.
Pause Recording When Silence Is Detected
This is an optimization for recording to eliminated the recording of extended periods of silence.
If you are having trouble recording songs with really long fade ins, turn this option off.
Ask Before Deleting Recorded Files After Use
If checked, the software asks you if you want to delete the original temporary recording after
