Howto: Timemachine - an instant sound-recorder

[studio32]

by Kevin Donnelly

JACK Timemachine, by Steve Harris, can capture whatever is going to the JACK server - it therefore acts as an instant sound-recorder.
The key point about Timemachine is that it does not start recording once you hit the button. It has already recorded the previous ten seconds in a pre-recording buffer, and will include those seconds in the recording as well. This means it is good for catching those fleeting moments of inspiration that you can't recreate - just click the button and they get recorded to a file retrospectively.

this is kinda neat

there's also something called jack_capture, a very flexible command line tool to record anything from any jack port. It understands the * wildcard :

e.g.

Code: Select all

jack_capture jamin:out* somefile.{wav,flac}

it is definitely cool as well

$ jack *TAB* *TAB*
