It's great for recording. You just go to new in the
file menu and choose your sampling rate you want to
record in, and the length of time you want to record
if you didn't check the unbounded box in options,
click o.k and you're ready to go. Just control+f9 to
start recording, and control+f8 if you want to stop
before the time is up, if you go to options and choose
record from the control tab, you could set a timer for
it to automatically begin recording, you can set it up
to only record when it hears a sound of a certain
volume from there too, like the cassette recorders
college students use for lectures, voice activated.
Great for recording police scanner audio.
