This chapter describes some parts and functions of KRec in detail and gives some tips on usage. The items are sorted alphabeticly, not by importance.
The audio manager is used to connect the outputs from different applications to existing or new busses. A bus is some kind of a virtual signal distributor. Every play- or record-item can connect to exactly one bus but multiple items can connect to a bus. Example: The output of Noatun can connect to the main out or any other bus. But multiple Noatuns can all connect to the main out.
It contains three columns:
The name of the item playing or recording sound.
The type of the item either play or record.
The bus the item is connected to.
Click on an item and a dialog for choosing the wanted bus pops up.
The main part shows all currently existing busses. Select one to send your audio to it or get your audio from it. Below you can create new busses to connect your item to.
To record from an aRts-aware-player and listening to what you actually record just create a new bus (test for example), connect your player to it (you wont hear anything now), connect KRec::In to the new bus too and then turn on the .
