Pausing a recording

As the subject says, is there a way to pause a recording such that the recording can be toggled between essentially pause and continue?

I assume you're referring to the Mix Room.

Obviously clicking on the Rec button will start recording and clicking on it again will stop, but when you click Rec again it will be to a new WAV file starting exactly where the pevious clip ended. I don't see any way to pause a recording and then add more to the same WAV file, and nothing in the Help file shows any use of Pause with recording.

Is there a reason that having different WAV files is a problem if you need to pause?

The behavior I am looking for is to momentarily pause the current recording, perhaps because I need to reference something or some notes, etc., and then by selecting the pause key or shortcut or whatever, the recording resumes. Apps such as Audacity has this behavior as well as Adobe Audition (the spacebar is used to pause and resume). So I was looking for this behavior in Audio Director. Otherwise, I will need to use a dedicated audio recording app or another audio editor. It would have been helpful to do this in Audio Director instead of somewhere else.

I was asking how important it was to have everything recorded to the same audio file vs the multiple files that AD would create when starting and stopping recording, but it sounds more like the issue is not being able to use the keyboard to control the recording.

You can let Cyberlink know that you'd like to see that functionality added to Audio Director by using Rate Us & Provide Suggestions... under the File menu.

In the meantime, the only option would seem to be to use another app for the recording.
