Anybody know what the best program is to record an audio (stream) from the output of Breakaway.
- It must be possible to record in mp3 blocks of xx minutes. (for ex in blocks of 60 minutes)
- On a detected (threshold) silence it must pause the recording
Any suggestion freeware or commercial are welcome.
There are several pieces of software which are used for broadcast archive logging which will do this.
Try MP3myMP3 or MCRS (Multi-Channel Recording System). Neither are 100% perfect and have some limitations.
For a more pro, but very reasonably priced solution try Radio Logger Pro from Radiosoft.The only feature you might find difficult to acheive is the pause on silence, most software can be triggered to record by a detector but I’m not sure if there are any which stop when silence is detected. You could however use a free silence detector called the pira silence detector which can be programed to stop the program and then re-launch it when silence occurs, give that a try..

I’ve used Total Recorder Professional (http://www.totalrecorder.com/using_scheduler.htm) for recording and transcoding purposes. I’m pretty sure it will do everything you need.
Try Free Sound Recorder.

Hmm. I’ve already added FLAC recording with silence detection to my framework. FLAC might be a bit big — I can’t do MP3 because of licensing, but I could do Ogg Vorbis. Splitting hourly is no problem. This could make a nice feature for that pro version, since every on-air station does have to log (afaik).

Just add in "delete files after X days" and variable splitting and it’s perfect for compliance logging. here in the UK we have to retain recordings for 42 days and no engineer wants to have to consider periodical cleanups, we like the software to do it for us.
As a way round MP3 licencing, could it record via ACM as an option then when you select the recording format, if an MP3 ACM encoder is installed, it will record in this format? Also maybe CELT could be used?Yorkie.
External codecs, no — it’s a support nightmare. Case in point: Edcast.
Delete after X days is a good idea, but "Leave at least X gb free" is an even better one, especially since I would have to implement that one anyway.

///Leif[/quote]Leif,
Please reconsider the possibility for only one external codec (ex. Lame).
MP3 (Lame) is most common used all over the world.Flac files are just too big. I have no experience with Ogg Vorbis files.
You could always claim you only give support for your internal codecs.
