What’s the easiest way to record like 4-12 hours of low-information audio (a ticking clock basically) most compactly?

Heh, I’m actually building a mechanical clock and want to DFT the uneven ticking to investigate geartrain friction. 12h= one cycle through all states of geartrain I think.

Finished assembling my clock but it stops after like 5 tick ticks 😖

Oh, so you just need the timing information? You might look at ditching the audio and using a peak detector and only record time stamps (or time deltas). A cheap mic into something like an arduino which spits out the timing via a serial port
