Re: Recording in stereo
Larry and other interested listeners, His Total Recorder parameters are set correctly, I guarantee it! I had Tom make a recording and send it to me as an email attachment. I played it with Total Recorder which told me that the recording had the desired frequency and sampling rates and was in stereo. So it is apparent to me that somewhere in his system, the leads are combined. Yet, if this were the case, it seems to me that Tom would not be able to listen to the stream in stereo as he does. So the bottom line is that the original is heard in stereo, but the recording sounds as if it is mono although Total Recorder indicates that it was recorded in stereo.

Re: Recording in stereo
Hi, Tom, go into the record parameters dialog of total recorder, and tab to the change button, and press the space bar, and look for the set of two radio buttons that says something like ogg vorbis stereo only, which is the bottom of the two, and that should allow you to record in stereo, plus, if I'm not mistaken, in the mp3 tab in options under settings, there should be a couple of buttons in there to indicate stereo or mono as well, let me look. The set of radio buttons in the mp3 tab are for stereo, and joint stereo, so the ones in the change dialog of record source parameters would tell total recorder to record in stereo, just make sure the bottom one of those is selected.

Re: Recording in stereo
Hey..there isn't a lot more that I can add to what Don has said here; to answer another question..yes..I am on broad-band..and yes..as far as I know..CDs play in stereo; so does audio streamming from the internet. Thanks to all that have taken an interest in this thread. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it isn't just something so simple that..we've all overlooked it!

Hi Tom, I haven't been following this thread from the beginning, but, if you will contact me off-list with the specifics of the trouble you're having, and what you have already tried, I'll be glad to see if I can figure anything out for you. I have alot of free time on my hands, from now until the end of the year. Richard Justice [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Tom Kaufman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Recording in stereo
Hi, When you listen to the original stream does it sound like its in sterio? Try playing a cd in your cd player cdrom and try recording it. Is that sterio? Just a couple of thoughts. O yeah, are you on broadband or dial up?

Re: Recording in stereo
Tom, I don't know if anybody has suggested this, but is it possible that the patch cord you are using to record with might have mono jacks, or is not designed to input a stereo signal. I know I have one of those around here somewhere. I don't know when I purchased it, but it may have been twenty years or so ago. They may not even make them anymore.

Re: Recording in stereo
Marty: As near as I can tell, the "stereo" radio button is already checked! I actually sent a file to a friend of mine who checked it out; he told me that..according to what the information he was getting..I do have it set to "stereo." However..that's not how it's coming through! So either I'm missing something here; possibly my soundcard will not allow me to record in stereo..but that doesn't make sense either; I can receive things that are in stereo in stereo! I don't know!
