other menus). Use this menu to record your audio material by
clicking on the round red Record button. You can also use this
function to split, trim and name recordings.
(1) Use the volume display (top left) to adjust the volume level.
Try to set the recording volume level as high as possible so as
to obtain optimum sound quality, but do not over-modulate it.
Click on the scrollbar below the volume display to change the
volume level. Move the scrollbar to the left or right to reduce
(to a minimum of -12 dB) or increase (to a maximum of 19 dB)
the volume respectively. The range available depends on the
selected audio input. Flashing blue in the volume display indi-
cates that everything is in order, flashing yellow indicates a risk
of over-modulation during audio mixing (only if several over-
modulated segments are mixed), and flashing red indicates
over-modulation.
(2) If your system supports the “Sound” button, it can be used
if an analogue input has been selected, i.e. Microphone, Front
and Rear. Before recording audio material, click on the button.
A window is opened in which you can select the Treble and
Bass from -12 to 12 dB.
(3) Here you can see the audio input. The options available dif-
fer, of course, according to your particular model.
(4) Select between Mono and Stereo modes. When using a
mono microphone, check that Mono is actually selected. If DV
is selected as the input, you can also select Stereo B mode. In
this case, the sound is recorded from a second stereo audio
track of the input device, provided the input is in 12-bit, 32 kHz
mode. Not all DV input devices offer a facility for selecting this
mode, however.
(5) The field below the Modus button displays the remaining
capacity of the audio partition.
(6) The audio samples which you have recorded are automati-
cally assigned a label (A 1, A 2, etc) in the audio list, and their
length displayed. If you have added an audio sample to one of
the sound tracks of the Audio-Mix menu, it is marked with a
small white dot next to the length.
(7) The New Sample button opens a dialog in which the
Sound, Silence and Sine Wave Sound functions can be con-
figured and launched by means of the respective buttons. The
effect ‘Sound’ allows you to transform sound effects from the
audio pool (see chapter 4.9, item (13)) and thus use them for
the audio mix. Click onto the button ‘Select Sound’ to open
the audio pool selection. Select the desired sound effect, exit
both the audio pool and the ‘New sample’ window with “OK”.
Note that the length that can be set in the ‘New sample’ win-
dow is not relevant - instead, the original length of the sound
effect is used.
8. Through fading pages: All document pages are crossfaded
one after another in sequence. The speed can be set from
0-12 seconds in “Fade”

You should not begin audio mixing until you have finished
editing the video. Effects and titling should already be com-
pleted. Editing video or adding effects after audio mixing has
been completed can damage the careful editing work which
you have already done on the sound track. To avoid misunder-
standings: When you edit video in Bogart SE you also change
the original audio. Transition effects in the video are also ap-
plied to the audio. This section deals with audio mixing, which
involves adding additional audio tracks overlaying or supple-
menting the original audio.
Audio mixing employs the same principle as video editing:
1. Recording of the raw (audio) data
2. Splitting of the audio sample into a number of discrete pas-
sages (if desired)
3. Trimming of these data, i.e. cutting out of undesired compo-
nents such as coughing, residual material from adjacent CD
tracks, etc.
4. Special processing of the audio sample or of a part of it (e.g.
interchanging of stereo tracks)
5. Insertion of these audio samples into the storyboard
6. Adjustment of the volume of the original audio and of any
commentaries and the background music to each other, and
adjustment of any fading
7. Addition of audio effects (if desired).
8. Fine adjustment of the volume of individual audio samples
by means of wave form (if desired).
9. Creation (if necessary) of the complete sound track (all ste-
reo tracks are mixed on a single stereo track).
10. This just leaves recording to tape, and your video is fin-
ished.
