Greetings, First of all, I will explain my system, so I don't want people telling me to go to apple, or use Windows 7 or 8 or Linex or anything else, please stick with what I write.
Thanks. I am using Windows XP Home fully updated, a Compak laptop, Total Recorder V8.3Pro (I know about v4 not yet installed it). My access software is Jaws V10. I mostly use TR in order to take programs off-air, my default settings, which I prefer to leave alone, are 44,100hertz 16-bit unsigned wav format, stereo, source of sound is software not soundboard. When I open the program my untitled file has the above attributes which are fine most of the time and I have no problems when the stream has been started, to begin recording in the empty file, by pressing the space bar, or to append to an existing file. On some occasions, such as when recording from BBC local radio streams, which are in mono and at a much lower bit rate, I separately, create a file of 24,000hertz 16-bit unsigned wav format, mono. So, I open TR, therefore it creates the untitled file, empty, of the default settings. I now want to use the file I have created so call it into TR using control with o and highlighting from the appropriate list. I now start the stream, having established the necessary site and looking at the appropriate link or button or whatever. Now back to TR, where the Record button is highlighted, the file has a second's worth of nothing, because TR won't see an empty file regarding it as an error so must be closed and reopened to use. So, now, I have the stream, the file open, the record button highlighted. I press space bar and see a dialogue asking do I want to record because this file is not of the format set out in my defaults. So I press space or enter denoting yes, recording commences and all is now fine. My question is, how can I make TR not keep displaying this dialogue? Yes, I could change the parameters but then, as has happened, I go to record something from a better quality stream forgetting I've changed the settings and, if it is not going to be available to retake, or I forget to check after closing the file, I lose the opportunity to take the stream at a better rate. I am sure somewhere there is a setting which may be changed saying, take a recording in the (supported format) file, no matter what it's settings. I have not found it so please can somebody explain, if and where this may be found. Thanks. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected]
