Good day.<br>
I&#39;m trying to record all calls sent through my Freeswitch PBX.<br>
The problem is that the quality is horrible. I&#39;ve tried wav and GSM formats, and both are les than satisfactory.<br>
I&#39;m looking for something around the quality of the recent recordings of the Freeswitch conference. (I checked on the wiki, and couldn&#39;t find anything through search.)<br>
Any information on the FS conference format or my configuration would be appreciated.<br>
I&#39;ve got:<br>
&lt;!--record all calls through switch, $/recordings/yyyy-mm-dd...--&gt;<br>
&lt;condition field=&quot;destination_number&quot; expression=&quot;^(.+)$&quot; break=&quot;never&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;action application=&quot;set&quot; data=&quot;RECORD_TITLE=Recording ${destination_number} ${caller_id_number} ${strftime(%Y-%m-%d %H:%M)}&quot;/&gt;<br>
&lt;action application=&quot;set&quot; data=&quot;RECORD_DATE=${strftime(%Y-%m-%d %H:%M)}&quot;/&gt;<br>
&lt;action application=&quot;set&quot; data=&quot;RECORD_STEREO=true&quot;/&gt;<br>
&lt;action application=&quot;record_session&quot; data=&quot;$${base_dir}/recordings/${strftime(%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)}_${destination_number}_${caller_id_number}.wav&quot;/&gt;<br>
&lt;/condition&gt;<br>

Sincerely,<br>
