AudaRemote

AudaRemote is a program for Windows that makes Audacity start and stop recording at scheduled times. It can launch Audacity to start recording automatically and can save the recording as a project then quit automatically.

 * The newest version seems to work like a charm for me, I use the Win32 german language Audacity 1.2.3 package. Be sure to download AudRemoteV2.zip, I haven't tried the others. I had to open Audacity beforehand and leave it open so Audaremote could access it, but then everything worked just fine.


 * Yes, someone (David Hoogerheide) tried it with 1.2.1 and found it didn't work because 1.2.1 misinterpreted the commands sent (see ). I think I had it work with an earlier version of Audacity, but only erratically.


 * So I am trying RemoteKeys instead ( http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/RemoteKeys.shtml ). "Overkill" is an understatement; it doesn't seem to cope with dialog boxes very well (or it maybe I'm a novice) but it can be persuaded to do the job (certainly simple start and stop recording commands can be scheduled easily).


 * While RemoteKeys works, it is clumsy; AutoIt looks better . GK, 2 Oct 2004


 * I (Warner Krelekamp) fixed the problem with AudaRemote, and I have sent the sources to the author to put my new version on his page. I propose it's version 1.3 or so. WK, 4 Jan 2005

There is only one thing that is not working yet: the save option after the timed recording. WK 13 Jan 2005


 * There is now (15 feb 2005) a new version of AudaRemote 2 which works with Audacity 1.2.3

This version is only working when Audacity is in English. As I am not a very good programmer I have no intention of creating a language independent version. Sorry.


 * To get the "Run Audacity" option working, Audacity actually needs to be installed to path "C:\Program Files\Audacity\". By the way, does anyone know how I use the "Save" option (path and filename?)? Are there plans for further development? Tomic 29 Jan 2007
