Do you have a reco for a recorder?

Do you have a budget and do you have a mic or would you prefer one that’s integrated?
General rec is tascam, marantz, or Sony
Replying to
Cheap! Ok. You said you have a pc, do you have a mic that you can plug into it? Audacity is free and will record as long as you want.
Replying to
Yep several. So yeah looks like that’s what I’ll be doing. Somebody else suggested that with low bit rate and direct save to mp3
Replying to
For recording simple ticks? sure. 12 hours of mp3 will be about 800mb. I’m sure there’s software to easily do that (maybe VLC?) but i’m not sure what app might do that for you.

Sox likely will, but it’s only got a CLI that might not be worth it for single use.

No, but that’s something I’m not sure I want to use since I need my phone for other stuff
Replying to
Yeah, just grab Sox. It’s FOSS and the help files have recipes for recording directly to whatever format you want.
Are you comfortable using command line?
