Hi everyone! This software package is the best recorder of Sound Streams and from sound devices I've seen anywhere for the Windows PC and the Professional version priced at around $36.00 is just a bargain but I wonder to users of the software itself realise just what an amazing bargain it is? most people probably just use it for recording and don't bother about some of the advanced features which are hidden away, on in particular I've just recently started using is Total Recorders ability to use cue sheets or cue files. I've been using Cue sheets for years with other excellent applications such as Exact Audio Copy - The best CD ripper on Planet earth - and amadeus Pro - possibly one of the best value for money audio editors ever written for the Apple Mac -so it made sense to me to explore what Total Recorder had to offer in hits handling of Cue Sheets at some stage. A little explanation before I continue I think, a Cue sheet is a simple text file which can - if the user so desires - be knocked up in a text editor or modified thereby if appropriate. The Cue sheet refers to an audio file - usually a Wave or a Flac file - which a software application can act on. For example, suppose you record a TV show in Total Recorder into a wave file and have a Cue file associated with it, you can issue specific instructions to Total Recorder which it will put into that Cue file or you can put them there yourself for very precise control over that Wave file, this comes into its own with Total Recorder if you're wanting to edit out those annoying commercial breaks from your TV show for instance. I record TV shows regularly from one channel which has a 3 second pause at the beginning and the end of a commercial break - how convenient as I can programme Total Recorder to generate a "track Separator" point in the cue file associated with my recording, - I can then delete the tracks I don't want out of my recording - in this case the unwanted commercial breaks - and just have the recorded show left, this is done with the Cue Sheet editor of Total Recrder> Previously the only real way to illiminate unwanted breaks in a programme was to go through it and watch it live and doing the editing of same "on the fly" but this feature reduces an editing job from say a good 50 minutes to edit a 1 hour show to about 3 or 4 minutes, amazing! If you want further information on how this works - and you're a total recorder user - then look in the help section under "Working with Cue Sheets" and under "Split mode" or email me, I don't think that High Criteria have tutorials or primers on this subject as yet because these features aren't probably the most commonly used in Total Recorder but they're powerful and effective nevertheless.
