Hi
Anyone who can recommend a good and "easy" to use tool for recording
audio (mic) from the packages? It doesn't need to have any gui but build
in compression like MP3 is preferable.
I know there are a couple of different tools but what are the best ones?
hi,
to record raw audio, my prefered tools are cat(1) and audioctl(1)
i use audioctl(1) to set the enconding, rate, precision and number of
channels and then
cat /dev/sound >filename
to record. I'd suggest you not to use emulated encodings (those
tagged with '*' in the output of 'audioctl -a'). See also audio/sox
and audio/audacity from ports
you may also need to set the mixer to record from the mic,
$ mixerctl record.source=mic
no GUI, direct to MP2 via ffmpeg (from ports):
$ ffmpeg -ad /dev/audio out.mp2
no GUI, direct to MP3 via transcode (from ports):
$ transcode -p /dev/audio -y null,lame -m out
