Hi all,
I'm digitizing my vinyl records, and creating a script to do it quickly
and efficiently. I need to hear what's playing, while I'm digitizing, so
if it falls off the front of the record or starts skipping a groove I
know it instantly.
I have to use arecord because it's the only command style recorder I
could find that can produce 32 bit .wav files. I need 32 bits so i can
record at low volumes and still have plenty of information for normalized
volume at 24 or 16 bits. The sox rec command won't do 32 bits, and
audacity's point and click user interface isn't conducive to fast,
repetitive recording.
So how does one use arecord in order to hear what's being recorded?
What is the command line you are using for a single recording?
I use arecord with the proper command line args. Works great, outputs a 32 bit
44100hz .wav, but no monitor audio, so you don't know if the needle fell off
the front of the record or if the needle is skipping. Also, it's harder to
know when the record is over and you should hit Ctrl+C.
I literally mean: "What is does your command line look like?" ;)
I need to send back a modified one that may help you.
