several reads later perhaps....Hope you get the idea...

precord [with no args starts GUI version]
or
echo "gui" | precord - [note the space then minus at the end meaning: read from stdin]
precord play /root/out.mp3 [plays without GUI]
or
echo play /root/out.mp3 | precord -
[also plays without GUI; useful for quickly playing an mp3, or ogg, or wav - depending on how last configured]
If no outfile or duration parameter is supplied, precord uses previous configuration as defaults.
precord --help
or
echo --help | precord -
for commandline usage
I think there is a good chance Precord (and Pcreole with nme for that matter) should be compatible with Fluppy. I don't know about other Wary apps, but many might be fine. If you haven't used Precord the main problem you might have is nothing to do with Precord itself but with setting up alsamixer before hand (or with the help of Precord). Precord can't record anything if alsa isn't correctly set up to record, and it is a bit tricky doing that and different sound cards have different volume controls etc that you may need to set up.edoc wrote:Wow, it has been a while since the prior post, good to see things are happening with this.
We are using only Fluppy (current version is 013) as it just got too complicated and time-consuming to try to support multiple versions of Puppy across several laptops and netbooks.
Do you have any thoughts as to the compatibility of Wary-based apps, esp. Precord 7.0.0, with Fluppy 013, please?
We can test but it would need to be in Fluppy.
Yes but have no idea what one do with it. I will try to make a screen capture to show where I get lost.3. You should turn up the amplitude setting of the device being used for 'Capture', but be careful you don't unwittingly turn up the Playback Mic volume rather than the capture one, or you may end up recording sound fed back to your mic from your blaring speakers! Pressing the Tab key such that you come to the alsamixer Capture window, before setting capture devices, may help you to avoid unnecessarily increasing the playback amplitude controls rather than the record ones.
4. As an alternative to recording from the microphone, you could select some other device to capture from (e.g. Line in). If you select 'Mix' (or perhaps 'Mono Mix', 'PCM' or 'Master'; depending on what your sound card provides) as the capture device you can record most anything passing through your sound card (for example: streaming radio as in 01micko's pupRadio program).
5. You'll be able to see from the running VU display window if, and when, you have your sound controls correctly set up (but turn off the VU display before actually recording or you'll end up with a blank recording!).
Unfortunately, different sound cards appear to offer different facilities with alsa. My help text is the best I could offer based on the sound card on my own system. There is no "Digital" capture setting with that, so I'm afraid I don't know anything about that.nooby wrote:Much appreciated. Love this prog and use it every day but have no clue on how to set it up properly.
More by accident I found this text. Not your fault I am a poor reader of text.

How do I make the screen cap seen in the forum?
If you take time and look at my pic. I have no idea if ogg_q is better than ogg_mm
And the 10 there seems to be default? Is that better or worse than 0?
128KB most likely is better than 64KB. But how does one know about the ogg_q. and ogg _mm thing
Yes I have looked in google and wikipedia and don't get a word of what them write there.
What about the Capture thing and Digital. To get close to 100 on the VU I have to add the Digital at the most right on Alsa. Have I forgot to do something.
What I want to do is to Capture what I hear when I listen to through the soundcard. So want to take it from the internal mixer but see not column for Mix or how to look into Mix? Where is that?
So many unknown things and I have no clue. Help would be appreciated.
