Hi Tom.
This whole area of recording is just a hobby for me. I don't know the
technical side of things.
For example, is it only my imagination but does a WAV format file not sound
better than an MP3 file?
Total recorder records in Wave. I then use Goldwave to double the volume
and then maximise it and it really sounds quite good, then \I save it as an
EMP file, once my editing has been completed.
I'm just learning and trying to get the best out of my recordings but don't
have the skills yet.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Just a note in case it matters: you don't necessarily have to record and
have the file be a WAB file as TR does allow for one to record in the MP3
format, although off the top of my head, I don't remember how you do it as
it has been quite a while since I have messed with Total Recorder! Tapin
Radio also will record audio streaming, but you probably already know this.

Hi Dane.
I don't set TR to do anything. When I launch it, JAWS announces, press the
space bar to record, so I do, and end up with quite a good quality WAV file,
of the show that I'm listening to.
I just was not sure if I could be doing this job of recording better.
In your message you advised that the BBC were broadcasting at 320 kbps and
if I recorded any programme, then TR would simply grab it at the same
quality.
I often use Tap-in radio or the assessible bbc Iplayer to stream the show,
but I'm thinking that perhaps you are telling me to record directly from
Internet Explorer rather than Tap-in radio?
Am I right? Or is it very much the same thing whither I stream through
Tap-in radio, the Accessable BBC Iplayer or Internet explorer.
Incidentaly, BBC radio 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are all termed "Global" stations,
thus the 320 kbps. However, my favourate station is Radio Scotland, but
this is considered as a Reginal station and only streamed at 128 kbps.
So much for equality, where my national station is obviously inferiour to
all the other "British" Broadcasting Company stations!
Very best wishes.
Andy.

If you’ve set Total Recorder to capture a stream then the bit rate the
stream is transmitted in will be captured.
For example let’s suppose you’re recording BBC Music? They have a 320K
stream so you would input this into Total Recorder directly rather than use
Tapin Radio.
Total recorder would capture the stream as is and thus save it to a file.
You can set conditions and so on to control the name of that file and so on.

Hi all.
I use Tap-in Radio to listen, for example, to a BBC 6 Music show, and
total recorder professional to record the show.
BBC 6 music is broadcast at a very high bit rate and I was wondering if
perhaps I'm capturing it at it's best.
I have had a look within Total Recorder settings to see if perchance there
was a box for adjusting the quality or bit rate of recording, but I cannot
find it.
Anyone know how I can ensure that I'm recording at the very best posible
quality available to me.
Thanks in advance.
Very best wishes.
