and sound quality conversion.
Using Advanced 3rd Party Applications
Sooner or later you will want to use the DMAN 2044 with some of the
advanced 3rd party applications currently available. It is with these applica-
tions that the DMAN 2044 becomes a true multi-track digital audio record-
ing tool. Although there are various setup parameters built into Windows
for selecting audio quality, etc. (see Windows Multimedia Properties section),
the 3rd party applications usually work around those settings.
IMPORTANT: Instead of relying on the general Windows audio sam-
ple rate, format, full- and half-duplex settings, 3rd party digital audio
recording software usually bypasses those settings and instead has its
own local audio record/playback configuration.
For example, you often select the sampling rate: 22 kHz, 44.1 kHz (and
48 kHz on some products) and format (16-bit stereo, 8-bit mono, etc.)
directly from within that application.
IMPORTANT: Instead of relying on the general Windows port assign-
ments, 3rd party digital audio recording software usually requires you
to explicitly select the DMAN 2044 audio devices by name for the
application to use in recording and playback.
Please consult the user’s manual that shipped with your 3rd party appli-
cation for more specific information regarding its audio setup.
