1. A system for recording multiple channels of incoming data, the device comprising:
- a server including;
a terminal interface card that receives data streams from a plurality of sources;
a duplication subsystem that creates an independent copy of each of the data streams;
a system configuration store that stores settings associated with a plurality of workstations, the settings indicating audio levels at each of the plurality of workstations; and
a mixing subsystem that creates a mixed data stream from the data streams that is distributed to a predetermined one of the plurality of workstations in accordance with the settings; and
a storage subsystem that receives the independent copy of each of the data streams and the settings associated each of the plurality of workstations, wherein the system is configured to use recording logic that enables the recording system to tap individual source information streams passing through the server, and further wherein the server and recording logic are configured such that a portion of the system can be broken, while still enabling the server and recording logic to operate properly;
wherein the independent copy of each of the data streams is associated with the predetermined one of the plurality of workstations in the storage subsystem by a first identifier of a source of the independent copy and a second identifier of the predetermined one of the plurality of workstations.

9. A method for recording multiple channels of incoming data, comprising:
-
storing settings associated with a plurality of workstations in a system configuration store, the settings indicating audio levels at each of the plurality of workstations; receiving data streams from a plurality of sources at a server; creating an independent copy of each of the data streams at the server; creating a mixed data stream from the data streams that is distributed to a predetermined one of the plurality of workstations in accordance with the settings by the server; and storing the independent copy of each of the data streams and the settings associated each of the plurality of workstations in a storage subsystem, the independent copy of each of the data streams being associated with the predetermined one of the plurality of workstations in the storage subsystem by a first identifier of a source of the independent copy and a second identifier of the predetermined one of the plurality of workstations, wherein the system is configured to use recording logic that enables the recording system to tap individual source information streams passing through the server, and further wherein the server and recording logic are configured such that a portion of the system can be broken, while still enabling the server and recording logic to operate properly. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of recording transactions in a trading room environment, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a plurality of data streams from sources used by traders while making trades; identifying a recipient trader for the plurality of data streams; distributing the data stream to a workstation associated with the identified recipient trader, the workstation being configured in accordance with settings that indicate audio levels at the workstation; and independently recording the data streams destined for the identified recipient trader with a designation of the identified recipient trader and a source of the data streams to a storage device configured for retrieval of stored data streams, wherein the system is configured to use recording logic that enables the recording system to tap individual source information streams passing through the server and further wherein the server and recording logic are configured such that a portion of the system can be broken, while still enabling the server and recording logic to operate properly. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
