just FYI, my audio editor (Edison in FL Studio) does this, and it prooved to work well. I actually have 4 recording modes, 3 of which making sense for a standalone audio editor: -record now (normal) -record "on input" (you press record, it starts recording when it gets audio input, so it doesn't waste the starting silence) -record "input" (it records when it gets audio input, and pauses in-between) but for this you need: -a silence threshold (obviously) -to be continuously recording some buffer, because once you've got above the threshold, chances are that the few ms before the threshold was reached are important, so you need to buffer this (unless you've invented a time machine) another nice feature is a max recording time. Using this & "on input" recording, you can start the audio editor (but mine is a plugin, so it makes more sense) in the background and completely forget about it. It's then recording your audio behind your back, building a history, while not eating too much memory. Some sequencers already have this built-in, so that people who doodle with their instruments & found that what they just played was cool, can find it back in the recording history. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Crook" <cr...@in...> To: <aud...@li...> Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 10:20 PM Subject: Re: [Audacity-devel] RecordPauseOnSilence > Martyn, > > I've just at last had a look at your RecordPauseOnSilence.
