Sound Rescue TerraTec Edition is a powerful tool for cleaning up problematic
and historic recordings directly on your PC. It helps you remove or significantly
reduce unwanted audio, maintaining authentic sound with almost no degradation
of its original quality.

all your treasures from tape, vinyl or even shellac records to CD using
e.g. the TerraTec phono PreAmp USB.

Asked Questions |

|
Q:
|
Why
do I sometimes hear drop-outs while recording?
|
|
A:
|
Due to the fact that the USB phono PreAmp cannot
be perfectly synchronized with your soundcard, it is possible that
some drop-outs may occur from time to time. However, this has no
influence on the recorded audio. The recorded file will not contain
any drop-outs.
|
|
Q:
|
My recording stops after
some minutes. What is wrong?
|
|
A:
|
Please check the following:
1. Register your version of
Sound
Rescue TerraTec Edition to obtain the latest
version and install it.
2. Make sure you have installed the latest driver for your sound
card.
3. The phono PreAmp should be the only USB device attached to your
PC during the recording process.
4. We recommend to use a separate USB 2.0 PCI card which nowadays
is available for less than US $10.
If the problem still occurs, a possible hardware problem of the
phono PreAmp could be the reason. In that case contact
TerraTec for
further assistance.

Q:

afterwards the main window disappears after one second.
|

with Hyper Threading enabled. Please register
here to receive the latest
version. After installation the problem should not arise anymore.

Q: |
When trying to store a file an error message appears: "Insufficient
disk space", although there is plenty of space on my hard disk?
|
|
A:
|
This problem is solved in the latest version
which you can download when you register
here.
|
| Q: |
My wav file recorded with enabled RIAA filter is only mono.
|
|
A:
|
This problem can arise on some system with a
special configuration and only if the RIAA filter is turned on during
the recording. To fix this please download and install this
update.
|
| Q: |
What audio formats are supported?
|
|
A:
|
Only *.wav files (Windows PCM *.wav) which are
red-book compatible can be loaded. That means that they have to
be recorded wit 16 Bit resolution and 44.1kHz sampling rate. If
you use the built-in recorder AlgoRec the generated *.wav files
will automatically be red book compatible. The red-book standard
is supported by all CD Burning programs.
|
|
Q:
|
What are *.awf files good for?
|
|
A:
|
For every *.wav file loaded into Sound Rescue
TerraTec Edition a corresponding *.awf file is automatically created
if it doesn't already exist. This helps to speed up the waveform
display enormously, because the *.awf file contains the graphical
waveform data. To save disk space you can safely delete the *.awf
files.

|
|
Resetting the numeric peak hold values during the
recording process
The peak hold
values can be reset at any time by clicking (or double-clicking)
on the level meter. This way a exaggerated input recording level
can be avoided. (This function is implemented since version 2.03
build 434.)

|
Recording 2 sides of a vinyl LP
When recording
2 sides of a vinyl LP, stop the recording with the pause button
when the first side is finished. Turn over the LP and press the
pause button again to resume the recording. This way you
make sure you'll have the whole LP recorded into one wav file and
are able to create a CD List for the whole LP.
|
|
|
USB devices
To avoid any disturbances
with other USB devices (especially external USB hard disks), please
make sure that while recording the phono PreAmp is the only USB
device attached to your PC. If possible we recommend to use a separate
USB 2.0 PCI card which
nowadays is available for less than US $10.
|
|
|
Saving *.wav files
Please do not save your
recordings in the installation directory of Sound Rescue TerraTec
Edition but choose a different one e.g. My LPs, because the whole
directory will be deleted during a deinstallation or a reinstallation.
|
|
|
Resetting the fader
1. The fader for bass/volume/treble can be reset to the middle position
by double-clicking on them.
2. By double-clicking on the fader of the DeScratcher and the DeNoiser
they can be set to 0.0 (turned off).
3. To omit the influence of all faders and settings check the box
bypass. Then you'll be able to listen to the original audio
material. |
