Hello all
Does anyone know of a tool chain or a way of scripting this:
1. start recording from a line-in port as soon as the sound level goes above a certain threshold 2.stop recording after it goes below the threshold for a certain amount of time, 3. save the whole recording in some kind of PCM format with the file name being the time and date the recording started.
One possible application could be security, but the application I'm going to use it for is recording music.
Just looking for some resources or maybe one of you has done this before?

I've used "sox" for recording LP's to disk from time to time. It works for the most part but you'll probably have to help it along to split the album into tracks by lifting the needle from the record surface with the lifting arm in order to meet the required number of seconds of silence for the software trigger to take effect since many albums have little or no silence between the songs.
"man sox" has an example invocation for this type of recording. Take a look at the parameter "silence". You can define the threshold and duration of the "silence".

Hello All
I would like to thank Mike and another person who replied to me personally who will remain anonymous for your help in solving this for me. \ sox should be a fantastic resource and I look forward to receiving the source code suggested by anonymous.
I will give credit to anonymous for his program, but at first I aim to respect privacy.
Regards, Sam
