Matheussen spake thus:
I normally use timemachine for recording like this - how does this
differ?
timemachine is a different kind of program. Its a GUI thing that is ment
to be running all the time.
This is just a quick tool to get the sound going into your loudspeakers as
quickly as possible into disk. It happens quite a lot when I play with PD
or jamin, for example. What happened previously, when I had something
cool going, was that I had to start timemachine (which name does not
start with jack, so I allways use a lot of time remembering its name),
connect the correct jack ports into it in qjackctl, and press the
recording button. In addition, as you say, timemachine use this (and I
really mean it) stupid w64 fileformat by default, and I very seldom
remember to use the -f flag to override that. Instead of doing all that,
now I can just write "jack_capture", and it starts recording immmediately.
