[HOWTO]Record microphone and system sounds

* This article is for Windows Vista or later. Please refer to the How to use & Tips board for Windows XP.

By default, when recording with OCAM, system sounds are automatically recorded together, but the microphone is not recorded.

If you want to record a microphone as well, click the Sound button on the main screen of oCam, and a popup will appear as shown below. Select a microphone to record.


If checked, the settings are applied as follows and the microphone is recorded together.


If you do not want to record sound at all, uncheck Record system sound and uncheck Do not record microphone.



Additional tips

[FAQ]The sound becomes loud or torn when playing back the recorded video on the daum pot player

Go to Daum Pod Player Settings (After launching Daum Pod Player, press F5 on your keyboard, or right-click to enter preferences.)

Go to Sound-Normalizer / Reverberation on the left as shown below and check Uncheck Normalizer when playing.

 

* For reference, normalize means to set the sound to 0db (dbFS). For example, an algorithm that amplifies the sound volume by 0db when the sound being played is -20db is called normalization. This makes the sound louder, and at this point, you may hear a sound that is torn apart.


(The db used here is dbFS, not decibels.)
