GETTING STARTED
There are 3 simple steps to installing your INport Deluxe:
Step one: Automatically loading the drivers.
Step two: Setting up your INport in Windows.
Step three: Connecting to your stereo and recording.
STEP ONE
Loading your INport is as simple as plugging it into a free USB port on your
computer. There’s no special software to install, but you will need to follow
a few easy steps.
Windows 98SE
Note: If you have any trouble loading INport, make sure your computer is
running all of the latest hardware updates - especially the ones for your
soundcard and motherboard. These are available from your computer
manufacture. Visit the troubleshooting section at the end of this user
manual for more information.
1. Find a free USB port on the back of your computer and plug in the
supplied USB cable. Plug your INport into the other end of the USB
cable. Don’t plug INport into a USB hub - other devices on the hub
may interfere with the audio data, causing pops and clicks in your
recordings.
2. Windows 98SE will open an Add New Hardware Wizard and let you
know it’s found INport. It will then start loading drivers for a USB
Composite Device, USB Human Interface Device, or USB Audio Device
(depending on what has been installed on your system in the past).
Click Next.
3. Check the option Search for the best driver for your device
(Recommended) and click Next.
Windows ME
Note: According to Microsoft knowledge base Q280127, some systems
running Windows ME may require a Microsoft update for USB audio
devices. We recommend downloading this from Microsoft before
installing INport. The necessary update is called 280127USAM.exe and
can be obtained directly from Microsoft. Unfortunately we couldn’t
provide this update on the CD because Microsoft wants customers
to contact them directly. If you can’t find these drivers on Microsoft’s
website, send our technical support an email via support@xitel.com.
1. Find a free USB port on the back of your computer and plug in the
supplied USB cable. Plug your INport into the other end of the
USB cable. Don’t plug INport into a USB hub - other devices on the
hub may interfere with the audio data, causing pops and clicks in
your recordings.
Windows 2000
1. Find a free USB port on the back of your computer and plug in the
supplied USB cable. Plug your INport into the other end of the
USB cable. Don’t plug INport into a USB hub - other devices on the
hub may interfere with the audio data, causing pops and clicks in
your recordings.
2. Windows 2000 will automatically update your USB drivers.
3. Once Windows 2000 has completed updating the USB drivers, it
should automatically set INport as your preferred recording device.
4. We recommend rebooting your computer to ensure all changes take
effect. Your driver installation for the INport is now complete. Go to
Step 2 on page 5.
Note: Plug your INport directly into a free USB port. If you’re using a
desktop, it’s best to use a USB port on the back of your system. Do not use a
hub if possible - hubs can prevent your computer from seeing INport. If you
must use a hub, make sure it is a powered one.
Note: when INport is selected as your system’s preferred recording device,
you will not be able to record through your soundcard. If you wish to use
your soundcard instead of INport, either unplug INport from the USB cable,
or select your soundcard as preferred recording device in the Multimedia
Properties control panel for Windows 98SE, Sounds and Multimedia control
panel for Windows ME and Windows 2000, or Sounds and Audio Devices
control panel for Windows XP.
Windows 98SE
Once Windows 98SE starts, go to:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Multimedia > Audio Tab
Set Recording Preferred Device to USB Audio Device. Set Playback Preferred
Device to your system soundcard. Put a check next to the option Use only
Preferred Devices that appears at the bottom of the window. Go to Step 3
on page 8.
Note: If you cannot select USB Audio Device in the Recording Preferred
Device Window, make sure your computer is running the latest soundcard
drivers. Older soundcard drivers can stop Windows from using your INport.
Please refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of this user manual
for more information.
Windows 2000
Once Windows 2000 starts, go to:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Multimedia > Audio Tab
Set Recording Preferred Device to USB Audio Device. Set Playback Preferred
Device to your system soundcard. Put a check next to the option Use only
Preferred Devices that appears at the bottom of the window. Go to Step 3
on page 8.
Windows XP
Once Windows XP starts, go to:
Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio Tab
Set Sound Recording to USB Audio Device or INport. Set Sound Playback
to your system soundcard. Put a check next to the option Use only Default
Devices that appears at the bottom of the window. Go to Step 3 on page 8.
Recording:
1. Connecting INport to your stereo: using the supplied cable, plug the red
and white ends into the red and white sockets on your INport. Plug the
other ends of the cable into the red and white audio outputs on your
stereo receiver, tape deck, CD player, DVD player, MiniDisc player, etc.
The audio outputs are usually labeled Line Out, Aux Out, Tape Rec or Send.
If your stereo doesn’t have any red and white audio outputs, you can
record from the headphone jack instead. You will need to purchase an
adapter cable that goes from a male headphone jack to female RCA
connectors so you can use your INport cable. You can find these
adapters at Radio Shack.
INport is not designed to record directly from a turntable that only has a
phono level output.
If you want to record directly from a turntable without going through a
receiver, you will need to use a pre-amplifier. You can get these at
www.audioreplay.net.
5. In the left hand box, choose Line in the drop down menu. Windows Vista
will default automatically to Master Volume.
Do not put a check next to Auto Start.
Put a check next to Auto Stop.
Put a check next to Auto Level.
6. In the right hand box, set the Volume slider in to minimum.
2. Click on the Add button and choose the folder where you have just
saved your music. Select the wav file you have just created using
LPRipper and press the Open button.
4. When Wave Corrector is done, a new file will be saved into the same
folder that you just loaded from. It will have the words cor added to the
end of the title to show it’s been corrected.
In our example, the corrected file will be saved as New Albumcor.wav in
the C:\Recorded Music folder. This indicates our original file, New Album.
wav, has now been cleaned.
3. In the Analyse window, enter the number of songs you recorded in the
No of tracks field. Put a check next to Detecting silence between tracks.
Hit OK.
6. In the bottom part of the screen are your navigation and preview
controls. Set Length to 4. This will give you a 4-second preview that you
can listen to as you adjust your track marks. Use the green play button
in the Preview controls to listen to a preview.
You can move track marks using your mouse. Left click on the first track
in the top window. The track will light up yellow. Put a check next to
Start in the navigation and preview controls. To move the track mark,
put your mouse cursor over the green vertical line in the top window.
The green line appears at the start of the yellow highlighted track. When
the mouse cursor turns into a left/right icon, left click and hold your
mouse button to drag green line to where the beginning of your track is.
You can then use the bottom window to precisely place the track mark
using the same technique. Press the green play button in the Preview
controls to hear if your track mark is where you want it.
7. To set the end of track 1, put a check next to End in the navigation and
preview controls. It’s easy to distinguish where the end of a track should
be, as the audio will drop down like a valley. If you look at our example,
you can see four tracks separated by three valleys. If you look in the
bottom window, you can see there is a point where the audio drops
8. LPRipper will now move to the start of track 2. You can move and set
the start of track 2 exactly the same way you did for track 1. By using
the Forward and Rewind buttons in the Preview controls, you can swap
between the ending of track 1 and the beginning of track 2 to check how it
all sounds.
10. To save your work, go to File, then Save. Your new tracks will be saved
as individual wav files with the song names you have given them. In our
example these will all be saved in the C:\Recorded Music folder so that
you can quickly find them.
If you’re happy with how everything sounds, you may want to delete
the large wav files that have been created along the way. This will free
up space on your hard drive. In our example we would delete the New
Album.wav file and New Albumcor.wav file. Only do this if you are happy
with the individual song files and don’t need to do any more work!
