# Using WireTap Studio Recording Sessions

Recording sessions allow you to preset all of the settings related to a recording - source, format, effects, anything necessary for a recording - and save them for quick and easy use. Sessions can be set to open a file or URL in the application of your choice and record at whatever settings you choose.

Sessions can also be scheduled to record at any time, even when your computer is asleep or even powered off. WireTap Studio will automatically power up your machine at the scheduled time, launch the stream of your choice and record for as long as you have scheduled. Never worry about missing your favorite streaming broadcast again.

Note: In order for WireTap Studio to auto wake or power up your computer for a scheduled session, that option has to be set in the general pane of the WireTap Studio preferences and must be enabled by entering an admin's username and password.

Go to the WireTap Studio Window menu and select Recording Sessions. Click on New to create a new session, or Edit to change the settings of an existing session.

Set the options for the session in the panes of the session editing sheet and click on OK.

To make a recording with that session, select it and click on Start. Click on Stop to end the recording.

Sessions can also be scheduled to record automatically. Use the checkbox next to each session in the Recording Sessions window to enable or disable scheduling.

To share this session, select it and click on Share. The session will be packaged up in a single file. To add a packaged session, just double click on it and then click on OK.

Use the Customize button to add or remove buttons in the toolbar of the Recording Sessions window.
