May 12, 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 6.0.

In addition to other standard maintenance, Total Recorder V6.0 Standard Edition offers a number of new features including:

• Support for skins which allow you to customize the look and feel of the user interface. There are several skins supplied with the program and there is also a free-of-charge Total Recorder Skin Design Tool that allows you to develop your own skins. Now the skins are out-of-date and cannot be used with the current version of the program.
• The Total Recorder sound driver has been enhanced and will now allow you to record several scheduled recordings at the same time.
• Monitoring mode allows you to monitor sound signals passed through Total Recorder when it is not recording. You can preview the sound levels before you begin an actual recording.
• A new display facility allows users to see a consolidated display of the activities of all audio applications running on the PC.
• Ogg Vorbis is now supported through a free-of-charge Ogg Vorbis Add-On. This add-on is based on the latest Ogg Vorbis engine.
• A new Recording Wizard allows you to easily specify your recording settings. The Wizard can walk you through the setups for a variety of different recording scenarios.

In addition to maintenance and the new features added to Standard Edition, Version 6.0 of the Professional and Developer Editions includes the following changes:

• A Send to iTunes/iPod Add-on. This add-on allows you to send files directly to an iPod or iTunes
• Significant updates have been made to the Sound image window. Some of the improvements include the ability to alter the time scale and the amplitude scale of the Window, and the image can now be displayed in either amplitude form (as was previously provided) or in wave form.
• Additional options for Splitting audio files are provided.
• In the scheduler, you can now specify a time when Total Recorder will establish an Internet connection and then wait until the scheduled recording starts.
• The ability to insert periods of silence into a recording file.
• Other maintenance enhancements.

All Total Recorder V6.0 editions are immediately available and may be downloaded for evaluation and purchase from the Total Recorder Web Site. The evaluation versions of the programs will record for unlimited lengths of time, but will add an audible noise about every 60 seconds.
