  2. Set up 3 Loop Recorder Pro shortcuts in the StartUp group of your Start Menu or add 3 tasks in the task scheduler and modify the command lines as follows:
    1. LoopRecP.exe -S:1 -f:"c:\AudioArchive\Program1\recording %y-%o-%d - %h.%m.asf"
    2. LoopRecP.exe -S:2 -f:"c:\AudioArchive\Program2\recording %y-%o-%d - %h.%m.asf"
    3. LoopRecP.exe -S:3 -f:"c:\AudioArchive\Program3\recording %y-%o-%d - %h.%m.asf"
