December 6, 2006, Toronto, Canada

High Criteria Inc, a world leader in computer audio recording systems, today announced the immediate availability of new versions of its flagship product, Total Recorder.

The Standard Edition, Professional Edition and the Developer Edition have all been upgraded to Version 6.1 and a new Video AddOn is now available for Professional and Developer Edition users.

In addition to other standard maintenance, Total Recorder V6.1 Standard Edition offers a number of new features including:

• Total Recorder now supports playlists in M3U, PLS and WPL format. Please see Using playlists tutorial for more information on this new feature.
• A scheduled job can be started while your computer is in standby or hibernate mode.

In addition to maintenance and the new features added to Standard Edition, Version 6.1 of the Professional and Developer Editions includes the following changes:

• The new Video Add-on allows you to play, record, and edit video files in AVI format. You can record from a video device plugged into your computer, such as a camera, or you can capture video from your screen. You also can schedule a recording from your favourite video services and websites.
• Total Recorder can execute a command line after a file has been recorded or after a recording session has completed. This feature is available when recording in split mode and for a scheduling recording.
• In addition to the ability to shut down your computer when an automatic job completes, you can now have your computer put in standby or hibernate mode.
• Ability to save a stereo file as a mono file with channel mixing. This can be used, for example, to save the left and right channels of a stereo file to separate mono files.
• Total Recorder can merge multiple files into a single file. A period of silence can be inserted between the files or a fading effect can be applied to the files during a merge.
• You can use batch processing to split a number of files.
• You can select whether you want a file permanently deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin when you delete the file.
• A number of other maintenance enhancements

In addition to maintenance and the new features added to Professional Edition, Version 6.1 of the Developer Editions includes the following features:

• You can obtain the source code for the symbolic language (similar to Visual Basic) that corresponds to the interface operations you performed during your current Total Recorder session. The code can be appended with other useful information you can use to write applications to control Total Recorder. This feature can greatly facilitate writing your own code to control Total Recorder Developer Edition through COM technology.
