I'm meerly making a suggestion which would save you heaps of time and
frustration in the end for several reasons.
What you're doing at the moment is known as a software recording and
this may mean that other audio surces could be heard in the recording
itself such as system sounds from your computer or even your Screen Reader.
If you Capture the stream as I outlined then the pricess is completely
independent of your Sound card thus you can carry on with other
activities on your computer, have your Screen Reader ttalk to its hearts
content etc.
Anyway how you do things is completely up to you but I do suggest you
read the primers on Total Recorders web page wich contain some great
information on this sort of thing.
Total Recorder is an incredibly powerful tool and much of that power is
hidden away.
What version of Total Recorder are you using by the way?

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.

Subject: Re: Bit rate settings with Total Recorder
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.
Andy.
From Scotland with Love.
