5 For Format do the following:
• Select a bit depth from the left menu. 8-bit sound is sufficient for voice and medium-quality
music; compact-disc audio is stored at 16 bits. Stereo audio requires twice as much disk space
and processing as mono audio.
• Select the channel usage you want from the right menu.
6 For Speaker, select how you want the speakers to function while you record.
7 For Volume, drag the slider to amplify or attenuate the incoming audio signal.

and click OK.
9 Click OK to close the Sound Settings dialog box.
10 Click Record.
Note: If no audio is recorded or you can’t hear your source audio, try playing the audio through
the computer speaker system without recording. If you still can’t hear it, the audio source may
not be properly connected. Check hardware connections, settings in the Multimedia Control
Panel (Windows) or the Sound or Monitors and Sound control panels (Mac OS), and the
documentation that came with your computer and sound card.
Capturing digital video
Digital video format (DV) carries compressed picture and sound information using the
binary code used by computers. Although digital video is already in binary computer code,
you still need to capture it to a file on a hard disk. Capturing digital video from a digital
camera or deck to a computer is a simple file transfer if your computer has an available
FireWire (IEEE-1394) port and if a DV codec is available. The DV codec may be provided as
a hardware chip connected to the FireWire port, or as software. Premiere includes support
for DV codecs and can read digital source video without further conversion. In general,
