How to Record in Adobe Soundbooth
While Adobe Soundbooth may not have all the bells and whistles of the company's more powerful Audition audio editor, it does include basic audio recording features. Using Soundbooth, you can record audio using a microphone connected to your computer; you can also use Soundbooth's recording functions to digitize audio from a cassette or record player connected to your PC. Connect the audio source to your computer's sound card. Configure Soundbooth's recording options, then begin recording the audio.
