absolute time of recording

[kozikowski]

Window on the bottom? Point to a place on an hour recording. How hard is it to figure that time?

So export the work, read the time and figure the differential offset.

I think Casio made my time calculator. I remember having to save up for it. It's really cool. It will calculate directly in television drop-frame time code for those countries so afflicted.

You can't figure time on a regular calculator.

Maybe there's an App....

Wasn't there a thing about not being able to get seconds or fractional seconds from Windows? It's the reason you can't reconstruct your show from the _DATA folder.

If you mean while it is recording, just look at the "Length".

When writing to disk, the precision (granularity) of the time stamp depends on the file system.
NTFS (Windows) has a maximum (at best) resolution/ranularity of 100 ns.
FAT had a granularity of 2 seconds
For ext4 (Linux) it's 1 ns

The new timestamp feature in Audacity 2.1.3 gives: hh-mm-ss
Date is as: yyyy-mm-dd
Date and time as: yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss

... automatically add the date and time to the name of newly recorded tracks. (The "start time" of the recording). .

So you still have to add manually the cursor position(s relative time) to the start time extracted from the name ?

No way to see the absolute time of the cursor as you scan through the recording ?

No.

Attached a valuable tool in this quest.

Apparently, there was a FrameMaster II.

The Producer was scribbling notes from the clock on her phone during the shoot. Here's a list of the cuts she thinks might work.

Once you pass basic recording your guitar, bookkeeping is a really big deal.

I haven't done this in a long time, but you can "record" a standard offset and then keep recalling it to rapidly convert back and forth.

Are you sure there isn't an APP for that?

Even if Audacity doesn't obsessively track every nsec, it would be insanely handy to be able to set one of those timers on the bottom.

"See that cursor? That cursor is sitting at 16:30:00 GMT. Work from that."

1) Press "Record" - The timeline / Selection toolbar shows 26th Nov 13:02.050 (or something like)
2) Press "Pause" - Now the time shows as 13:12.123
3) Unpause - what time is it now?

I moved this to "Adding Features".
