Total Recorder Pro

Total Recorder Pro is a complex software application designed for recording, processing, converting and playing audio and video files. It supports several file formats, including the popular MP3, FLAC, AAC, 3GP, AVI, WMV, FLV and MOV. Mainly designed for experienced users, the tool may also be used by beginners, provided that they take the time to study the implemented documentation.

The installation procedure is a fast and easy job, thanks to familiar options. With this tool, it is possible to record sound reproduced by an audio player, coming from an online source, a microphone, line-in or from a CD/DVD, as well as via an MIDI stream. It also allows users  to capture footage from connected devices and ongoing PC activity from a screen (full screen, region or window modes available).

You can save part of a file or a recording, encode audio and video files, split items into multiple parts and spread them across multiple devices, schedule recording when planning to leave the workstation unattended, import and export scheduled tasks, as well as tcreate and edit ID3 tags.

Users have the possibility to repair MP3 files, create and organize playlists and favorites, and install add-ons to enhance the application's functionality. Batch processing is available, so you can work with multiple media tracks at once to reduce overall task length.

Total Recorder Pro enables users to resort to an equalizer to boost sound quality, normalize recordings, apply fading effects, perform mixing actions, enhance the quality of recordings (tape or vinyl), and more. The interface can be customized according to the desired viewing mode and selected skin.

The program uses a moderate amount of system memory and didn't freeze or crash during our tests. Total Recorder Pro is indeed a powerful tool that is mainly addressed to more experienced users, but it can be used by anyone thanks to a rather elaborate help section.
