Re: [IRCA] Using PC Software for multiple timer recordings
Dave.. I record on 2 different computers. One using Skimmer Plus from Broadcast Software International. Primarily used by broadcast stations for air checks, it can be a bit pricey (399.00 for a single deck) My other computer uses OMT's Logging software The nice thing about these is I can log in from the web and playback the files...Great when I am on the road. I hear that TOTAL RECORDER is good but i have never used it..and it is more affordable I recorded 1340 for A FULL year across the TOH. Yielded a bunch of new logs for me...

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] 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.

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.
