Hello all, I'm writing this for a friend who is Linux saavy, but not a member of this list, nor a "sound guy." He needs an audio application that will record for a specific amount of time, say, for 4 hours, without user intervention. He needs to be able to say, begin recording conference at 9:00 AM and stop at 4:00 PM and walk away without ever thinking about it again. I'm familiar with all of the basic sound apps (Audacity), but I am completely stumped when it comes to the timer aspect of his request. Anyone have any ideas?
Maybe he could try ardour + jack_transport + at Prepare an ardour session ready to rec on the correct input. Configure ardour to sync with jack. Create 2 files start.sh : #!/bin/sh echo play | jack_transport stop.sh : #!/bin/sh echo stop | jack_transport and use: at -f start.sh 0900 at -f stop.sh 1600 Not really convenient but it should work.
