-
Connect your music source to the computer's line input. This
will usually mean using a cable with a 1/8" phono plug
on one end (the computer end) and an RCA plug on the other.
The RCA plug connects to your Music-Out jack on your round dance
turntable when you are recording music, and to the Voice-out
jack when you are recording cues.
-
Open the sound editor in your computer and record the music;
edit the file as necessary. (Here's
how to do that using Audacity.)
-
Save the file. (i.e. Paper Moon.MP3)
-
(Optional) It is helpful to plug a pair of earphones into your
computer's output jack at this point, so you can listen to the
music, but it won't be picked up by the microphone.
-
Open a new, empty file in your sound editor. Start recording.
-
Play the music file you just recorded using Media Player, Winamp,
Music Match etc. or even DanceMaster.
(You should be able to play it by just double-clicking the filename
in Windows Explorer.)
-
With the music playing and the sound editor recording, speak
the cues into the microphone. You will probably have to adjust
the recording volume - if so, after you have it set correctly,
discard this voice track and start over.
-
Edit this new voice file as necessary to trim the silence from
the beginning, adjust the volume, remove that sneeze, etc.
-
Save the new file (Paper Moon II Cues.MP3) in the DanceMaster
Voice Files folder.
-
In DanceMaster Player,
in the Dance Details screen, attach the music file and the voice
file to the dance.
-
Synchronize the two files (Here's
how).
