selection of choices for for sound quality and file size.
The Choices range from Largest Files, Maximum
Quality to Smallest Files, Poorest Quality in five
self descriptive selections.
Custom Sound Settings
A Custom selection is also provided.
The illustration below shows the
Slide Show Property
dialog
with Custom selected.
Selecting Custom provides access to
detailed sound settings. A full explanation of these is
beyond the scope of this description. The first selection is
Sample Rate, this determines how many sound samples a
second are used in the Sound Track. The choices are
either 11Khz (11 thousand samples a second) or 22Kh. The
Data Rate is the amount of data used to represent the sound
stream. The higher the data rate, the better the sound and
the larger the file. The data rate is selected from
the Data Rate Drop-Down Box as shown in the illustration
above.
Experimentation will reveal the best settings
that work for specific applications.
Under the Data Rate Drop-Down Box is
the Convert Stereo to Mono Button. Setting this box
will convert a stereo sound track to mono. This is
desirable for internet applications and will reduce the size of
the soundtrack dramatically.
