Re: [IRCA] Using PC Software for multiple timer recordings
FWIW, Total Recorder does this also, and their basic version is similarly-priced. For playback and review, I use Power Audio Editor because it has a large graphical screen display which enables me to identify peaks, meteor scatter pings, E skip spike and tropo on FM. That way I can quickly scan files to determine if there's any potential skip going on without necessarily listening to the whole thing.

Re: [IRCA] Using PC Software for multiple timer recordings
I've used RecAll-Pro for this Dave: http://www.sagebrush.com/recpro.htm I haven't looked at other programs of this type recently, but originally chose RecAll-Pro because it plays back displaying a time stamp on the audio file, that is based on the clock of your computer when the file was recorded. Useful for longer recording when you're not quite sure what time an ID occurred, unless you want to do arithmetic using the time stamp of the file itself plus elapsed time. best wishes, Nick At 18:38 13-06-12, you wrote: I will most likely never be getting a Perseus but I do hope to take advantage of timer recordings using a PC and audio software, for DX. Hoping for Es on FM the other day, I recorded a two hour block of 92.7, using Audacity. No skip. Now I'm thinking about recording MW signals near the top of the hour. I see that Audacity has a timer option but IIRC, it allows just one entry. I want to schedule 12:58 am - 1:10, 1:58 - 2:10, 2:58 - 3:10 and so on. Does anyone have any recommendations for audio software that allows such multiple timer recordings? Thanks - that may be a way to log some gy stations. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] Using PC Software for multiple timer recordings
Hi. A good program with multiple timers and variable recording quality is recall-pro from Sagebrush Inc. It costs $30, but it comes with a 30-day free trial. And thirty days doesn't have to be consecutive days. That is, if I use it today, and not again for a week, the next time I record is only the second day of the trial period. The website is: www.sagebrush.com and a link on my own file storage site is: http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/5txdsv I have been using various versions of this software for years. You can also record from multiple inputs, e.g. my radio and an internet stream.

Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] Using PC Software for multiple timer recordings
I use and recommend Total Recorder, available from the folks at www.highcriteria.com. I am currently running 3 receivers 24/7 and 4 others roughly 16/7 on 3 different computers. What is needed is a separate sound card to input each signal source to the system. It can be an internal or an external sound card. With Total Recorder, you can pre-schedule recordings. I have a set of 48 half-hour recordings for each signal source/sound card combination, offset to that the end time of one recording is 5 seconds before the start of the next. Usually that prevents any possible overlap, because if the first one hasn't finished when the second one wants to start, the second one may not. Others use other software, and other means of setting up timed recordings but I've found this to be very flexible and also cost-effective.

[IRCA] Using PC Software for multiple timer recordings
I will most likely never be getting a Perseus but I do hope to take advantage of timer recordings using a PC and audio software, for DX. Hoping for Es on FM the other day, I recorded a two hour block of 92.7, using Audacity. No skip. Now I'm thinking about recording MW signals near the top of the hour. I see that Audacity has a timer option but IIRC, it allows just one entry. I want to schedule 12:58 am - 1:10, 1:58 - 2:10, 2:58 - 3:10 and so on. Does anyone have any recommendations for audio software that allows such multiple timer recordings?

[IRCA] NE Oregon Wednesday TPs
One channel, 567, managed to produce some very poor DU audio at 1203 utc. There were a few weak hets over the whole band. 567 had low domestic splatter at the time, that's the only reason I could catch the very poor audio. LWBC Rossii 279 faded up briefly for very poor/poor audio at 1120 utc.
