Automatic Timer Recording
« on: March 29, 2006, 04:43:29 PM »
Hi all....

I am wondering if there is such a way to set up a recorder to turn itself on at a specific time and record for an hour or two and then turn off.  I'm wanting to do some remote field recordings at sunrise and sunset every day for a week or so.  Is there such a beast out there?  Or can I rig something up?  Thanks in advance.

Oh...and I'm not concerned with format...flash, MD, DAT....as long as the freq. response is good.

you can do that with a laptop using cdwav.

*edit*  you will also need a pre, interface, and mics.

I do think taping is the reality of the business..it is also an impetus for artists to create studio CDs that are ART, not just another recording...    Fareed Haque  2-4-2005

Thanks for the replies guys.

One more thing to add, I will be deploying these out in the woods and leaving them there for days at a time.  I wouldn't want to leave a laptop out there for fear of it getting stolen.  Is there any other hardware I can use?  I was thinking of using a digital voice recorder that has a timer function.  That seems to be my best answer so far.
