Specific Audio Recorder Software Needed - Recurring time segments.
I am looking for a PC audio recorder that can record streaming audio
and allow me to specify the time segment length. For example I want to record a live radio show in 1 hour segments on my computer. I have a program like this but the interface forces me to specify start and stop times. This is tedious because sometimes I want to record 12 hours of audio and I am stuck calculating start and stop times. I just want to press record and the program will record in 1 hour segments or any time segment I specify like 30 minutes or maybe 20 minutes. If anyone can help i would really appreciate it. Thanks. |

Not sure what you mean by "record in ... segments." Do you mean record continuously and close the file and start a new one every hour, or 30 minutes, or whatever you specify? I think Total Recorder will do that. The Professional version offers more flexibility including the "stop after x minutes" function. http://www.totalrecorder.com But what's so hard about calculating start and stop times? Have they stopped teaching how to tell time in school already? |

.. I'm pretty sure Sound Forge can (certainly can be set to start/stop at a particular tiem - not sure abou the repetition. Will check back shortly), but I would guess the other equivalent level apps would too ; Wavelab, Audition, etc. You may be able to find a cheaper shareware app that can do this. Yep it can, but you may have to investigate which of several oblique methods will be best to achieve what you want with minimal configuring.. geoff |

WaveLab will accept arguments for a "split mode" which dices the file
up into separate files which you can determine in advance by either file size or the duration of recorded time. The recording Stop and Start can be set to specific time or duration so you can record as much as you have disc size for completely unattended. You can turn on the computer before you go to bed and it will start recording at midnight, say; at one o'clock it will chunk off a file one hour long and start the next one seamlessly continuing until 10:00am or whenever. This takes a little practice but it works perfectly. Good luck, s.

But with the built-in scripting language, anything is possible (if not already done by somebody). geoff |

Wavelab is about a $700 program. There are two "lite" versions that have fewer of the "mastering" tools that the the full program offers, but I don't know if they have the time/size controls. It would help if the original poster followed up promptly to give us some guideance about what he really needs and how much he expects to spend (or not). Oh, well, guessing is fun too. |

Mike,
Thanks for the like. You understood what I meant. I record an online stream for 7 10 hours so I could listen to it at my own time and fast forward the boring stuff. Now If I am starting to record this stream at say 1:42am and then I have to make 2:42am as the end , 2:42am - 3:42am 3:42am - 4:42am etc ... for 10 hours. Well you see how time consuming that is. In addition I am trying to re-record an mp3 series in that runs 23 hours in total. And I want to make it into 1h:18min segments. I really do not want to make these calculations if there is a program that can just do it automatically. "Have they stopped teaching how to tell time in school already?" You said. I was almost tempted to thow back something but I am grateful for your link.
