[LUNI] recording audio to cd

[Mark Stuart Burge]

As a follow up :

Thanks to all of your comments on this one.

After looking into arecord, I found that qarecord is actually able to 
run as a jack client   qarecord --jack
So, it provided a nice gui which allows you to easily pause / stop 
recording and when you click on record, it prompts you for a wav 
filename you want to save as.

On a side note,

by creating a shell script that is run by qjackctl when it finishes 
launching jackd, I was able to launch jamin and qarecord together and 
have qjackctl automatically connect the inputs and outputs as I want 
each time. This allows me to compress, limit and equalize the audio 
being recorded and monitor the peaks / spectum and make quick 
adjustments where necessary.

Once the recording is complete, clicking on a modified simlink to k3b 
allowed me to launch k3b with the recorded wav already inserted into a 
new audio cd project.

My next project will be to insert a nice conversion into the resulting 
wav so I can make an ogg or mp3 clone of the recording for our website.

I expect this stuff is pretty trivial for most of you folks, but just in 
case there is anyone else out there who is going through the same 
learning curve, then you have some feedback.



Merry Christmas to all of you
