Hi Everyone!
I'm always discovering new features and functions in the Total
Recorder application and I do discover some bugs from time-to-time but
the support team at High Criteria seem pretty helpful. One you need
to be careful of is the problem in Total Recorder's error trapping
when typing in a filename, for some reason Total Recorder won't tell
you if the "/" character is in a filename. Now obviously, if you're
typing in a filename manually then you're not likely to use the "/"
character but if you're pasting say from a schedule on the web to the
filename box into the scheduler of Total Recorder? Well, that can be a
different matter as I've just found out.
so what's the consequence of all this? you get an extra folder created
off your directory where Total Recorder stores your files along with a
possible meaningless filename which you have to try and sort out, in
other words the wasting of a few minutes which you could quite easily
devote to more productive pursuits.
Next thing, be very careful! how you set your power management
settings of your Windows PC, if the PC goes to "Standby" mode or the
hard drive goes to sleep then I'm afraid that Total Recorder will go
to sleep to, this problem is probably beyond the folks at High
Criteria as its more a Windows thing I'm supposing. Audio Hijack Pro
- the nearest thing to Total Recorder on the Mac - can tap into the
operating system and wake or even start your computer just before the
scheduled recording is to take place and I'm guessing of course that
such nice and nifty things just aren't possible with Windows due to
the design of the PC itself.
