I have need to record a lengthy (2+ hours) live show
non-stop,
stereo, and was wondering what Linux program is best at this.
I've tried reading the docs and FAQs I could find, and those
docs that I could find say nothing of any recording time
limits, or file size limits. It's got to save in 44.1/16bit
.WAV format, and run on non-jack Fedora.
I've got Audacity, but besides the fact that I don't know if
it will do the length of non-stop recording, it's quirky on my
laptop. Sometimes it doesn't recognize the input device, and
only has one logical input device available. Other times it's
fine. There is no apparent pattern to it, so I hate to trust
it since I can never predict if it's going to work.
I routinely use audacity to record ~1.3 hours of continuous audio
on a laptop (Mandriva 2008.0) without any issues.
G'luck....
