Setting Audacity to Auto Record on a date/time?

[joejubee]

Is there a way to have Audacity auto-record at a certain date/time?

What I'm trying to do is have audacity start up at say, Saturday at 8:30pm and start recording, and then stop recording at say, 4:00am.

I assume that you can somehow do this through some sort of windows command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has any other options, please let me know.

You can't do it in 1.2, but you can in 1.3 - where the developers have added timed recording functionality. In 1.3 you access it from Tracks > Timer Record - it works well, I use it a lot.

Thanks! I wonder why it isn't available in the most recent version 1.3.6?

OOPS, I just noticed that in 1.3.6 it's listed under "Transport" instead of Tracks.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update Joe, I'm still using 1.3.5 - So I too may have not found it on 1.3.6 when I upgrade - useful info.
