Music Studio

In Normal Mode you will be guided through a series of different screens to enter the output settings. Each of these screens contains explanations about your options and their effects. You will be led through the following steps:

Select an output format

Here you decide what kind of file you would like to create (MP3, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, etc.). You select a file format by placing a check mark next to it.

Select an output quality

In this screen you will be asked what the quality of the output files should be. You can select between different pre-defined quality settings, or define your own by selecting Custom Quality.

If you select Custom Quality then another screen will follow, where you can specify the settings manually. Note that the Custom Quality screen is slightly different depending on which output format you chose.

Select filters

This screen allows you to specify whether the program should filter the audio before writing it to the output files. At the moment, the Ashampoo Music Studio 3 supports only one filter: Normalize Volume. If you select this filter (by placing a check mark in the box next to it) then the volume of the file will be brought to a standard level. If you do this with multiple files then all of them will have the same volume.

Select an output location

Here you specify where the output files should be stored. By default, the files are stored in a folder on your desktop.You can also choose what the program should do if it wants to create an output file, but a file with the same name already exists. The existing file can either be renamed, or it can be moved to the recycle bin.

Confirm settings

The last screen of the output settings displays a short summary of the decisions you have made. If everything is as you want it, you can click on the Start button to start the process. If you want to make some changes to the settings, just click on the Back button at the bottom of the screen to go back to the previous pages.
