Important notes regarding Windows Vista compatibility for the software which can be downloaded from my web site.
All the MP3 recording, editing and playback software on my web site is, to the best of my knowledge, compatible with Windows Vista. There is, however, one important thing to note regarding dMC Auxiliary Input, which is used (along with dBpowerAMP Music Converter) for recording MP3 files. The recording volume control operates differently in Windows Vista. This means that you CANNOT open the recording volume control by clicking the little speaker button in the Test Recording Level dialog box. You also CANNOT open the recording volume control by double-clicking the speaker icon in the system tray by the clock. So how do you open the recording volume control in Windows Vista? Microsoft made it quite difficult, but I will tell you how to do it.
First you must open Control Panel (on the Start menu, click Control Panel). Then select Hardware and Sound. Then double-click either Manage audio device or Change system sounds. Either one of these opens the same dialog box, but with a different default tab selected. Neither one has the tab we want selected, so click the Recording tab. You will see a list of audio input devices, such as Line in, Microphone, etc. Click the device you want to use for recording (probably Line in or Microphone) and click the Properties button. A new dialog box will open. Select the Levels tab to access the recording volume control. Leave this window open so you can adjust your recording level. Note that you can have the dMC Auxiliary InputTest Recording Level dialog box open at the same time so you can see when your recording level is set properly. You can also adjust your recording level while recording. Also note that for some devices there may be a Custom tab for changing other properties of the device such as enabling an optional Microphone boost to increase the gain of the Microphone input.
The PDFCreator software (not an MP3 program, but still a very useful utility) does NOT work under Windows Vista.
