However, I never did manage to get krec going. For my
own music, I prefer
to use audacity to remove distortion, clipping, etc., and krec doesn't
have many features like that. But for quick voice recordings, krec might
be convenient, so I would like to get that running properly, if possible.
I went through all different settings, read through the help manual and
man pages, but nothing seemed to change. Usually, in fact, the record
option wasn't even available, only playback; and when record did seem to
work, it only produced some empty files of a few kb, which could not be
played at all.
This is strange, because I have not done any special settings. I plug in the
mic (USB) it gets recognized and then I start krec. Then
1. you press the "new" file icon and the record button turns from grey to
red
2. press the record button (which is now red)
3. press the X button when you want to finish recording
you get prompted for filename
4. done
Note: the produced file is with extention .krec and is a gzip with raw audio
in 16bit little endian, 44100, stereo, so you can do
zcat /tmp/test.krec | aplay -fcd
to play it
