Re: MP3 Directcut
RedButton is a program, sold through www.radiotime.com designed to record radio stations that stream via the net. There is a fully functioning 14-day trial version which can be converted into a permanent version for just under $30. While recordings are made on your pc, the scheduling of recordings is done via the RadioTime website. Radiotime.com has one of the largest databases of on-the-air streams around along with the ability to search by program titles and hosts. Speaking from personal experience, the service is very responsive in making corrections and additions when one reports them. These are often made to the database the same day when one submits them. Even if one doesn't want to record radio, radiotime.com is a great resource for info on internet radio. The listening side of the service is free.

Re: MP3 Directcut
Kelley While the volume levels were correct all along, what caused the problem was that the appropriate setting required for recording wasn't checked. For the benefit of readers, here is how I stumbled upon the solution. Knowing that apparently nothing would record, I decided to attempt to have my RedButton software attempt to record WGN, Chicago. Not surprisingly, the recording wouldn't commence. I went into the pc's sound manager and looked for various recording property check boxes for line in, mike, cd, etc. Having no idea which might impact the recording of internet streams, I one by one attempted to check the boxes (as you guessed, Kelley, all were unchecked). RedButton allows one to monitor what is being recorded, assuming something is recording, of course. Suddenly, out of the blue, I heard the dignified voice of Milt Rosenberg interviewing someone on "Extension 720" as a highlight which WGN streams when it cannot stream regular programming due to Cubs baseball. I checked, to make certain, and indeed iI had a recording on the hd. I can tell everyone that I have never, in the 35 or so years that Milt has hosted "Extension 720" been so elated to hear the U of Chicago psychology prof interview anyone !! And, oh yes, I saved the settings into the Quickmix default file default.qmx which now, thanks to a msg posted by Sarah Alawami last week, starts as the notebook starts up and now is also available via the desktop. And, I'll be doing an image of that hd later today in the event we ever have to do a total system restore. So, once again, Kelley, thanks for asking the right questions which changed my focus from tweeking MP3 Directcut to what was required, enabling the pc itself to record. mike On Mon, 13 Aug 2007, Kelly Pierce wrote: > Mike, > > don't give up just yet.

Re: MP3 Directcut
Mike, don't give up just yet. I had the same feeling once until I realized that new Windows installs mute nearly all the recording inputs. make sure you are looking at the recording properties in volume control rather than the playback properties. also, make sure your line in jacks and microphone are unmuted. On most Windows machines, you can only select the line in or microphone for recording but not both at the same time. Be sure the jack you are recording from is unmuted and selected.

Re: MP3 Directcut
Kelly All 5 recording settingsfound under sndvol32 are at 100 levels where 500 = no sound and 0 = max; so that would appear ok. Your mentioning of other recording programs had me test Audacity; guess what, no sound either. So this would suggest that the culprit is not mp3 Directcut. BTW, podcasts and internet streaming play fine; and, I, out of sheer curiosity, took one of the recorded files and attempted to listen to them on another machine. Is this problem resolvable; or am I best just forgetting about ever using this notebook for recording streams and the like. > Have you successfully made recordings using other programs with this > laptop?

Re: MP3 Directcut
Have you successfully made recordings using other programs with this laptop? Also, have you checked the appropiate volume settings in Windows volume controll?

Re: mp3 directcut problem
Rob, Thank you so much for these instructions. I had downloaded the program about two weeks ago but had not had the time to really play with it to learn it, so I appreciate all the directions in one place. If no one else has suggested it, I would suggest that you consider submitting this as a demonstration/review to Main Menu at ACB-radio, because they are always looking for good quality technical material. Just one question ... I installed the lame.dll file into the program folder but probably not in the right place because I cannot get it to show up among the encoders. Where do I need to put it so that it will be recognized and how do I configure it? Many thanks.
