Automatic stop recording when audio stream stops

Stephen_Mansell

Have been using Soundtap for many years and have upgraded to windows 10 version. Would you advise how I can set it so that recording automatically stops when the audio stream stops?

Hello Stephen, unfortunately at this moment SoundTap does not offer the option to automatically stop when the streaming stops.

Hi,

Not really, possibly at that time, the recording stopped because there was no audio to record...

Exactly! I could leave the computer to record and be sure that it only recorded what I wanted. Now I have to sit by the machine and wait for it to finish or end up with hours of silence.

Surely the software stops recording when the sound stops, then resumes with a new file when the sound starts up again?

Which brings me to MY question - can the pause interval determining when a new file is started be set by the user or is his fixed? It appears to be fixed at around >2 sec.

I'm a diehard XP'er and the software definitely stops recording when the audio stops for a presumably predetermined time which appears to be around 2 sec, then resumes with a new file when it resumes.

Yes, the reply to your question was not apropos.

Hard to believe this would change with W 7,8 or 10 but on the other hand it would be just one more reason to tell uSoft to shove it with their abandonment of XP.
