Another thing to look out for, I think the editing features etc of Total 
Recorder are only available in the Professional edition and above.


Also note that many of the extra recording functionality such as 
Background Recording are not available in the Standard edition.


I have both the Video and Pro editions of Total Recorder here, the Video 
edition was $70 if I remember correctly and the Pro edition was $35.

Yes Dane...I found that editing thing out the hard way!  Tried to clip the
end off of a recording I had made (I only have the standard version) found
out it cannot be done with that version!  Currently, for editing, I use MP3
Direct Cut!  Now I have a question: if one has the video total recorder,
I'm assuming it's just as it says (you can record videos that maybe someone
has sent to you?

I think we're at cross purposes! Fast wind or scan is not a problem.
What I'd like, but can't seem to find, is to play the file _slowly_,
maybe one-quarter speed or less, in either direction. Just as I would
when using an actual tape recorder, to find the exact edit point.

 I haven't been using Total Recorder a lot mainly due to the reasons I

 package under Windows to my knowledge.

 I've been using Total Recorder since early 2003 - I started using it

Quick question about TR, if I may interject.

Does it have the facility to move through a recording at slow speed -
what in analogue parlance you might call rocking the spools?

I'm of the old school of editing - chinagraph pencils and razor blades -
and finding just the beginning of a cough, for example, isn't so easy at
normal speed.

Thank you very much for your welcome smile

I don’t think anyone is doubting for one second what can be done but there are 
some points which the original sender of the mail in the discussion brought up 
which are worth mentioning again.

Audacity is free and that’s good, we all like free software however where’s the 
support when you need it?

I’ve seen people on this list and many other struggling and bemoaning Audacity 
sometimes so what do they do then? Of course they can search Google if they 
want and nothing wrong with that as I’ve done the same thing many times 
smile, they can go looking for a tutorial and just how many of those are 
around.

On the other hand they can purchase a product like Total Recorder and there’s 
the Tech support and knowledge base right in front of them.

Your point is well made, we’re talking about 2 very different products given 
the fact that Audacity does multi track editing but I still think the point 
made about Audacity originally was perfectly valid.

 do to get the thing working when there's stuff like Total Recorder just
 sitting there waiting to be part of your software collection and again,
 the software doesn't cost a Kings Ransom - even if you get the Video
 Edition which I have -.

 I haven't played with too many of the add-ons available though I've used
 the speech add-on and its not too bad, again cheap at $32 I think it was.

 The Editor in the Professional version does a pretty slick hob though
 I've changed a few of the keyboard shortcuts to reflect my personal

 And finally, You're absolutely spot-on when you talk of the excellent

The other way might be to recordWhat You Hear.

For example, have the voice come through another set of USB speakers or

then select the recording source to What You Hear.

Re: Reinstalled Total Recorder

2014-11-16 Thread Aidan
Yes, the only thing they stil need to add, is support for aac plus
formats. That is where tap in radio shines. But that being said, the
stations that do play work very well. And I like it the way you can
sort your favorites and edit them to your liking. You not just stuck
to adding a long list of them. And one of the best things is that you
can easily restore to defaults when you mess up settings you not sure
of. And you can import and export settings wich I don't no if all of
the major editers can do. I also must try background recording. I use
the pro adition. The technical help documents about the driver and
related issues I find very interesting. And unlike the sound tap
program wich is also ment for recording internal audio, with this
driver you can at least control verius aspects such as the recording
volume where necessary. So you don't have to go to windows system
mixer to ajust or the media player internal volume control for
example, as once they set to be loud enough for the most part, total
recorder can take care of the rest and you can make ajustmenst there.
Yes the automatic speech add on is exilint. It works well and I also
use the ogg vorbis add on, and the digital mixer add on and the laim
mp3 encoder. I also like that it can record in 3gp when you need to
save space. I'm not sure what steps you would need to take to record
in GoldWave in 3gp, I guess you need to find the correct encoder and
for some that might be a bit advanced, as GoldWave shines in wave as
that is what it record and where you perform editing anyway. Yes
shortcuts in total recorder is easy, and they make a big
distinguishing between global hotkeys and program spisific shortcuts.

To your eMail first, what formats Total Recorder does or doesn't support 
really isn't an issue these days, so long as the software can record in 
Wave or a lossless format then its no big problem given the many file 
conversion utilities out there such as Switch but yes, I take your point 
about AAC and it is a little surprising I have to admit.


Now regarding the background feature, I jsut tried it and all I can say 
is wonderful! just schedule what you want to record from the Internet 
and that's all you do, no interruptions from your Screen Reader or 
anything else you may be doing on your computer whilst recording, no 
.need to leave your browser open and the stream playing whilst Total 
Recorder Professional records and so on, thanks to the list memember who 
alerted me to this.

Yes, the only thing they stil need to add, is support for aac plus
formats. That is where tap in radio shines. But that being said, the
stations that do play work very well. And I like it the way you can
sort your favorites and edit them to your liking. You not just stuck
to adding a long list of them. And one of the best things is that you
can easily restore to defaults when you mess up settings you not sure
of. And you can import and export settings wich I don't no if all of
the major editers can do. I also must try background recording. I use
the pro adition. The technical help documents about the driver and
related issues I find very interesting. And unlike the sound tap
program wich is also ment for recording internal audio, with this
driver you can at least control verius aspects such as the recording
volume where necessary. So you don't have to go to windows system
mixer to ajust or the media player internal volume control for
example, as once they set to be loud enough for the most part, total
recorder can take care of the rest and you can make ajustmenst there.
Yes the automatic speech add on is exilint. It works well and I also
use the ogg vorbis add on, and the digital mixer add on and the laim
mp3 encoder. I also like that it can record in 3gp when you need to
save space. I'm not sure what steps you would need to take to record
in GoldWave in 3gp, I guess you need to find the correct encoder and
for some that might be a bit advanced, as GoldWave shines in wave as
that is what it record and where you perform editing anyway. Yes
shortcuts in total recorder is easy, and they make a big
distinguishing between global hotkeys and program spisific shortcuts.

I haven't been using Total Recorder a lot mainly due to the reasons I

nothing that equals the recording power of the Total Recorder software
package under Windows to my knowledge.

I've been using Total Recorder since early 2003 - I started using it
when the swecond Gulf war started - and the software has never let me
down and has produced very good recordings which is more than I can say
for some of the more expensive pieces of software which do two things
obviously, promise so much but deliver so little and take an eternity
to
actually get the recording started.

Yes, its the best program out there I found. Many people don't believe
it. Why should many struggle to use complex stuff like audacity if
this can do such a good job? I understand for advanced stuff you would
go furder but really this help in so many remarks. I like the fact
that you can split files in realtime manually. I don't even think it
can be done with GoldWave. Split by time many programs supports, but
split manually is something to struggle to find. The skedular is easy
to use and I like the fact that each dialog that might pup up have a
copy and debug button so you can send them all the info they need. It
also have a system as whereby you can save bug info settings to a file
and stuff so you can send to tech support. There staff is really
helpful and with such kind of tools they can easyer help you solve
problems and you can actually get the help you need. I really think
people should try it before they give it up. If you install it with
the default settings and don't change the driver moad, then you will
be fine on most newer systems.

 The sluggish menu navigation seems to have been fixed, there was a delay
 between the time you pressed a navigation key in the menu system and the
 time the computer spoke, very annoying.

Re: Reinstalled Total Recorder

2014-11-15 Thread Dane Trethowan
What I'm about to say is my personal point of view but when it comes to 
Audacity then I can only say that people just have time to waste.


Yeah sure! its free but all the ucking about that people seem to have to 
do to get the thing working when there's stuff like Total Recorder just 
sitting there waiting to be part of your software collection and again, 
the software doesn't cost a Kings Ransom - even if you get the Video 
Edition which I have -.


I haven't played with too many of the add-ons available though I've used 
the speech add-on and its not too bad, again cheap at $32 I think it was.


The Editor in the Professional version does a pretty slick hob though 
I've changed a few of the keyboard shortcuts to reflect my personal 
tasts, changing shortcut keys isn't difficult either.


And finally, You're absolutely spot-on when you talk of the excellent 
support from High Criteria, just go onto their web site and look at the 
various tutorials and primers, not only on products from High Criteria 
but on associated topics such as recording different types of audio etc.

About changing default settings for the driver? I've never done that so 
don't know of what the consequences are, everything has just worked here

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the Driver was essentual if you 
wanted to directly record Internet Radio streams and so on.
