Does anyone know if mhWaveEdit can be made to start up in recording mode, as though it had got the UI sequence "record-button", and then "Start" on the dialogue?
Is there a command-line option?
I'd like to fire it off at ridiculous o'clock, to capture things off the radio, instead of getting a big wav file, and chucking away the lead-in.
Haven't scheduled anything yet, but I'm guessing "crontab" will do that part.
Schedule an mhWaveEdit recording session?

Code: Select all
# mhwaveedit --help
Syntax: mhwaveedit [files]
I wonder if ffmpeg could be used for the recording instead? That one is a command-line tool, after all... I'm afraid you'll have to google around or ask someone else how to do it, though; I have no idea.
Edit: I just remembered that Puppy - mine, at least - has another recording program called precord. It has command-line options (type precord --help) and seems to be using arecord to do the actual recording.
baconrecorder will schedule several recordings in background..

Thanks, don570. Another one I'll try.
Re stability, my mhWaveEdit recording sessions sometimes crash -- exiting to command prompt. Never used to get that in 32-bit Tahr 6.0, but do now I'm using Tahr 64-bit.
Not clear what's doing it. It seems to happen more while I'm using the Pale Moon browser, but since I'm doing that most of the time anyway, that's probably a false conclusion.

Recording WAV format from the 3.5mm mic in socket.
Hardware = Sony VAIO laptop, circa 2008, VGN-AR61E
2 GB RAM.
Save directory on sda2, but the mhwaveEdit configured temp directory, and my WAV save location both on a large external USB drive, ext2, plenty free space.
Overnight recording bouts (~ 8 hours) with a freshly booted system, and just mhWaveEdit run, usually work.
Recording, and simultaneously having the browser loaded, seems to be more likely to fail, and I don't need to be actively doing stuff, or on the web, just leaving the browser loaded (I think).
