Is it easy to make a voice recorder to a hard disk
Hi,
I have been trying to find a digital recorder that can record on a hard disk or RAM memory which could be then loaded on a PC, and which can record continuosly for 2 weeks - non stop. I did not have any success. Is it easy to make one myself eg by connecting chips and hardware units? Many thanks! George |

Install a recent version of Linux, use the "record" program from the sox package, or the built-in recorder, or get audacity, and in any case you can record what you want as long as you have the space for it. If you are just recording voice, you can use a lower sample rate and mono, if you want good sound use CD settings, 44100 stereo sample/sec, 16 bit data. That takes about 10MB/min, so 60*24*14*10 = ~202GB. That's easily doable using commodity parts. Care to comment on what you need for channels and fidelity? If you insist on trying this with Windows, I strongly suggest the server version which has been reported to stay up for two weeks without a crash or hang. -- bill davidsen ) SBC/Prodigy Yorktown Heights NY data center Project Leader, USENET news http://newsgroups.news.prodigy.com |
