How to turn on the microphone

So, we continue to study "Bandikam". How to use the tools on the panel, we figured out, now we’ll talk in more detail about the settings, and more specifically about how to configure the microphone to record voice and system sounds.

To activate the microphone, you need to go to the recording settings. For this:

1. Click the Video tab.
2. Click on the "Settings" button, which is located in the "Record" column.
3. In the "Sound" tab, check the box next to "Sound recording."
4. In the field "Main device" select "Win7 Sound (WASAPI)".

How to improve recording quality

We have already figured out how to download and use the Bandicam, and also figured out how to turn on the microphone. Now it’s worth talking about how to improve the quality of sound recording in the program.

In order to do this, you need:

1. Open the Video tab.
2. In the "Format" column, click on the "Settings" button.
3. Now it is necessary to change all the settings to the maximum in the "Sound" field, only the codec should be left as standard.
4. Click OK.

Surely you will be interested in what each field is responsible for. So, bitrate is an indicator that determines how much information will pass in one unit of time. And definitely, the higher the indicator, the better the sound quality, but in general there is no point in making it maximum. For example, for the MP3 format, the standard bit rate is considered to be 128 kbit / s, and if you increase this value, you won’t be able to hear a significant difference.

But with the frequency everything is simple: the higher the indicator, the better, these variables are directly proportional.
