Recording questionAssuming you are using the current release of =
writelog:
Click on
TOOLS
then SOUNDBOARD OPTIONS
then  down at the bottom
Select WAVE File compression.
then go UP to MPEG Layer 3
try
 18 KBits  11025 Hz Stereo    2 Kbits (per second I think..or minute?? =
whatever)
If that option isnt there, you are pretty far behind on the current =
version.

There should be a LOT of recording formats. =20
Perhaps they are a part of Windows, or you have to update your
CODEC ..but they were there when I looked for them.
What version of Windows are you running?

I would not try to record and log on the same computer, unless it was =
very fast.

I network several windows computers and record and link to packet on =
one, and log and hook to the
rigs on another..3rd one will be for backup...=20

  I am planning to record the WW SSB contest using Writelog and I have =
been searching the archives for tips.=20

  Some people (W2UP, K3WW) have mentioned using MPEG level 3 which could =
record the entire contest in under 400MB.  This has the added benefit of =
fitting on a CD for more permanent archive.  However, I do not have an =
MPEG choice under Writelog for compression options.  Is this a function =
of Writelog or the sound card I am using?

  Assuming that I cannot use MPEG, what other settings have other people =
used successfully that could fit in 800MB.  This is about 4KB/sec

  I have tried a few and one of the Microsoft ADPCM options sounded best =
for 4KB/Sec.  I suppose another option is to record it with high quality =
and try to compress it afterwards with software but I suspect that will =
be a long job.

  Thanks for your help,=20
