Click Listen to make sure you have found the station you need. You can also add stations to the Favorite list, and they will be displayed at the startup of the AVS iRadio Recorder.

After everything is ready, you can click Next>> to proceed to the second step.

At Step Two of the AVS iRadio Recorder program you can set the recording options:

• Manual - use this option to control the recording manually.
• Auto Split By Name - use this option to split the audio stream automatically according to the name of the played song into separate files.
• Run Schedule - use this option to schedule your recording session.

If you are scheduling your recording session, you should specify the time of the beginning and end. Make sure that beginning time is not earlier than your current time! You can also enable or disable auto split by song name option, ticking the corresponding check-box under the time settings. After you finished please click the the Next>> button to pass to the Recording and verification step.

When you have configured recording options and passed to Step 3, AVS iRadio Recorder changes to a recording window:

The radio will start playing after you mark the Turn On Radio check-box. To mute the sound check the Mute check-box. To start the recording press the Record button. To pause or stop the recording press the Stop or Pause button accordingly.

After you finished recording you can verify the newly recorded file to make sure the quality is good.

You can also edit the resulting files with the help of the AVS Ringtone Maker program.

Here you can change all of the available details such as Track number, Title, Artist, Album, you can add any Comment, specify Year and Genre.

If for some reason you are not satisfied with the quality (for example, there were connection drops while recording which resulted in music skips) you can go back and do another recording.

After the necessary files are recorded, it's time to mix them. For that we should run AVS Music Mix first.

After clicking the Make music mix link in AVS Audio Tools Manager Music Mix starts with the main window. At the AVS Music Mix start pane please select the Create new mix-project item and click Next>>.

After that you should enter the file name for your project and set it's location. Click the Browse... button to open the standard windows explorer menu and select the project location. After you are done, click the Finish button to end creating a project. Please take into account that you will get an info message in case a project with the name you typed already exists.

The interface of AVS Music Mix application could be metaphorically divided into five parts. They are:

• Top Toolbar
• Explorer
• Timeline
• Explorer Player Toolbar
• Timeline Player Toolbar

The next step will be importing the recorded files into AVS Music Mix.

STEP 5:   Importing

To start importing the recorded files into AVS Music Mix, please click the Import your audio track button located at the Top Toolbar. You should use this button any time you want to import any supported audio file to AVS Music Mix.

After that the standard explorer window will appear.

Here you should select the files for audio importing and click Open. After that you should set the location for your imported audio. It's possible to import audio clips into existing collection. To do that select the appropriate point and choose the collection from existing collections list. If you want to put imported audio into new collection select Into new collection and type the name for your new collection, for example My recorded files. After you done, click the Import button.

The new collection containing the imported files will appear at the Explorer part. Now you can add the imported files to the Timeline and actually mix them.

AVS Music Mix has an easy-to-use working area which has a set of buttons to introduce various effects and modify their parameters. AVS Music Mix allows you to apply one or several audio tracks/loops to your project. For convenience of use you can change the sequence of audio reflection or resize them at the Timeline. It's possible to create one track using fragments from several tracks. For that use drag-and-drop method. Please note how the way of displaying the whole audio track differs from the trimmed one.

Timeline toolbar allows to perform tasks such as introducing the limits of effect, boundaries of fade-in and fade-out areas, zooming in or out on details of your media.

At each audio track reflected at the Timeline you can see an envelope that depicts the volume control. You can regulate it differently according to your project's details. To add a control point to the envelope, double-click within the envelope line (where the mouse cursor changes to a hand) and drag the control point to the location where you want it.

To move a point on the envelope, click and hold the point and drag it to a new location. Note that in case you move the point more than 20 pixels over the track line up or down, the point will be deleted. You can use this feature to create smooth transition between two tracks. When the mouse cursor is located over a point, you will see it change from an arrow to a rhombus.

To select a part of your project, click the left mouse button and drag the slider along the navigation line. The selected area will be highlighted.

While working and when your project is ready it might be necessary to preview the result.

It will be absolutely necessary to preview the whole project as well as the parts of your mixing. You can do it with the help of Timeline Player Toolbar. It consists of 4 buttons. See the detailed description of each button in the table below:

After you satisfied with the finished project, you can save it to one of the common audio formats.
