So the idea is you then if it's a practised thing make the loudest sound you're gonna record for this recording.

[all-audio] New TV Receiver - Anyone Use this One
Hi, Folks. I just got a Pioneer VSX-932 receiver to make my TV (Samsung 40-inch SmartTv) into a nice home theater system. Also got 7.1 surround sound speakers to complete the package. Has anyone used Pioneer equipment, and how accessible is it? Thanks in advance.--Matthew Chao -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

[all-audio] Total recorder - splitting lengthy audio files
I have the current version of Total Recorder, the professional version. I wish to split large mp3 files and am having difficulty figuring out just what comes first. Yes, I have read the help files. And If I understand what I read, I should first set the split criteria such as by size, by the length of pause, etc. I think I am on the right track because I was able to create a Queue file, but just what do I do to actually initiate the splitting of the large file? Thanks. Don Roberts -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
