PREPARATIONS: 
Connect S/PDIF In to S/PDIF Out w/ RCA or TOSLink cables as appropriate. 

1)  Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Montego II Digital I/O

2)  Click on the Digital I/O tab. 

3)  Click on the Digital I/O radio button (if Quad Speakers is enabled, 
    the S/PDIF connection will not work).

4)  Uncheck the External Sync box if it is checked. 

     

 NOTE: 
    When recording from or to an external DAT or MiniDisc to the Montego II 
    Digital I/O via S/PDIF, you should always leave the External Sync box 
    *unchecked*.  
 
    The Montego II Digital I/O will still automatically detect the sampling 
    rate of the digital audio being sent to or from the external recorder. 
 
5)  Start the DAT tape (or MiniDisc) playing. 
 
6)  Open the Windows Volume Control mixer (little yellow speaker icon
    in the SysTray, next to the system clock). 

7)  In the Volume Control mixer, click on Options > Properties.  Click on the
    Recording radio button and then click OK. This will bring up the Recording
    Control.  

8)  In Recording Properties, click on Options > Properties. This will open the
    Properties window for the Recording Control.  In the section called 
    "Show the following volume controls", scroll down until you see the S/PDIF 

    Input, and make sure it is checked.  

    

9)  Now click OK and the Recording Control will again be displayed.  
    Put a check mark in the Select box just below the S/PDIF Input fader, 
    which will select it as the recording input.  Then set the level of 
    the S/PDIF input fader up to the maximum. 

    

10) Click on the Advanced button just below the S/PDIF Input fader.  
    This will bring up the Advanced Controls for S/PDIF Input.  
    At the bottom of this window are two check boxes: 

    1 – External Sync             should be * unchecked * 
    2 – Enable QUAD Audio         should be * unchecked * 

    


 NOTE for users of Windows 95/98: 
    If you leave the QUAD Audio enabled, the S/PDIF Input and Output will 
    not work.  If you wish to use the S/PDIF connectors, leave the QUAD Audio
    disabled.  You may change this setting at any time by opening the 
    Recording Controls in the Windows Volume Control mixer and opening the 
    Advanced Controls for S/PDIF Input, where you can re-enable the QUAD
    Audio. 

 NOTE for users of Windows NT 4.0: 
    The QUAD Audio option is not available in WinNT, and will not appear in 
    the Montego II Digital I/O Control Panel or in the Advanced Controls for 
    S/PDIF Input in the Windows Volume Control mixer.


11) Open the Voyetra AudioView 32 audio editor.  Click on New in the File menu
   (or press the Ctrl+N keys).  This will prepare AudioView 32 to record a new
    audio file and bring up the Sound Selection dialog box. 

   The Sound Selection dialog will open with the Name: field set to
   [untitled].  Please choose CD Quality in the Name: field, which will 
   reset the file attributes to 44,100 Hz, 16 bit, Stereo.  
   Click OK to save the settings and open a new audio file. 

   

 NOTE: 
    If you are using AudioView 32 in Windows 98 you will be able to choose
    48,000 Hz, 16 bit, Stereo. This format is not available for AudioView 32 
    running in Windows 95 or NT 4.0. 

12) In AudioView 32, click on the big red Record button.  The Record button 
    and Pause button will flash on and off, indicating that AudioView 32 is in
    Record Standby mode.  

    

    When in Record Standby mode, AudioView 32 will monitor the audio coming in
    from the selected recording input (the S/PDIF Input in this case).  

13) Press the Play button on your DAT or MiniDisc recorder to play the tape 
    or disc.  The sound will be monitored in the LED-style level meters in 
    AudioView 32.  The yellow 'LEDs' should be lit most of the time, with the 
    red LEDs lighting only occasionally.  The idea is for the recording to be 
    as loud as possible without overloading (hitting 0.0dB or higher). 

    

14) When you are satisfied that you have a good level set for recording, 
    stop the playback of the DAT or MiniDisc and rewind to the beginning 
    of the selection.  

15) Click on the Record button again in AudioView 32, which will start it 
    recording to the hard disk.  Then start playback of the DAT or MiniDisc.
    You should see the LED meters moving 'in time' with the audio and the time
    code display counting the elapsed time.  

    Click on the Stop button in AudioView 32 when the selection you are
    recording is done.  AudioView 32 will display the newly recorded Wave 
    file as a waveform, as shown below: 

    

16) You can now edit your new audio file by selecting a portion of the file 
    (press the Ctrl+A keys to select the whole file) and using the options 
    from the Tools menu.  Once you are ready, save your audio file as a
    stereo 16-bit 44.1kHz Wave file by clicking Save from the File menu, 
    or pressing Ctrl+S on your computer keyboard.
