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.
Thought I could help until I got here. I record a band at gigs on my laptop.
Ubuntu and now ubuntu studio. ardour sitting on jack. Records several hours
just fine.
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.
Give rezound a try. You could always record a few hours of background noise at
home... For testing purposes.
Thanks!
