Version: Total Recorder Professional Edition 5.1
"Rock Solid Software - Simple to use"
Pros: I've been using TR "Standard" for several years now and just upgraded to the "Pro" version. Both are simple to use and very stable.
The primary function of Total Recorder is to be able to record from any source on your computer. This means you can record a webcast, or a meeting, or whatever regardless of whether the audio is coming over the sound card or external source. It does this with remarkable ease and reliability.
In order to achieve this, TR installs a device level driver onto your machine so it can take any audio that comes across the sound card like a loopback cable to the application. Its simple, but it works. And for this type of applicance computing, simple and works are what's required.
The interface is fairly self explanatory. The "Pro" version offers a lot more control over the editing of audio files. This was the reason I upgraded. It allows you to combine files, delete a part of, insert at any point, etc. You can upgrade from the Standard version to the Pro version for a fee.
The obvious things I'll state is that the software allows you to record as much as your computer will handle. That is, you're just limited by memory and disk space. The codec processing time is done efficiently so as not to strain the machine (like some other apps I've tried). It supports MP3 (as well as WAV). MP3 support is native but not pre-installed (its a free download).
The Pro version allows you to view the detailed audio graphs. This has been very useful because you can now be very accurate in your splicing.
All in all, its very well written software that does what it promises to do.
Cons: I guess it could have a few more features. For instance, the noise-reduction feature is an add-on ($$). I don't really see this as a "CON", but its the only one I can think of. High Criteria (the makers of the softare) do offer several free plug-ins.
More Skins might be another suggestion (so there is some variety on the interface). Its simple, efficient, but a little bland.
