Puppy 4.3.1 has Mhwaveedit v.1.4.16 on the official iso, but I can't see any menu item for "record". How did you record from your soundcard to mp3?Flash wrote:This works, and is fairly easy to use for something so powerful. I used it to record audio tapes and save them as mp3
I then gave Lobster some specific examples to which I got the reply:Aug 2007, mcewanw wrote to Lobster wrote: Here is the link:

Does anyone actually use my wreckedleg recorder? Had I known that and an appropriate piece of feedback been posted to the wreckedleg thread then I would no doubt have obliged and modified the single line of code required to make it work on Puppy 4 series. Of course, Lobster is free to add the mod himself, the program is GPL, but it is customary to ask the developer(s) if they will make changes or add features prior to modding programs. I provide most of the programs I develop for download from http://wiak.org/; if people modify my programs on murga forum without informing me then there is a danger of my 'official' downloads not having the mods - so "others" end up losing out.Flash wrote:But if Lobster hadn't posted the mod, it wouldn't have become available to everyone. :(
I'd like to try using it (well, precord) to record an audiotape as mp3, but at the lower resolution described above. It appears from the source code here that the settings are compiled in and can't be changed without recompiling. Is that correct?mcewanw wrote:...Does anyone actually use my wreckedleg recorder? ...
I originally created two versions of wreckedleg: the original was a C program which called gtkdialog; the second was a bash program calling gtkdialog. I believe Lobster basically changed one line of code in the bash version (calling the result precord) because the underlying original recording program "sox" was not available in Puppy 4 series. Being thus in bash, precord is not compiled, so you can just change the line of code which calls up arecord and lame:Flash wrote:Well I got a chance to try out precord. It is simple to use, works well and seems well-behaved (no unexpected behavior.) So I'd say that mcewanw got it right exept for the one mistake that Lobster "fixed" to make it work in Puppy 4 :wink:
The resulting 44 kHz, 128 kbps mp3 file is probably stereo, which is wasteful if all I'm recording is just me talking into a microphone, and 128 kbps is much too high quality for recording my voice. :lol: . 22 kHz (mono,) 32 kbps would probably sound just as good, while producing files an eighth the size.
