Integrating GNUradio with Audacity

Post by bessiethacow » Mon Oct 07, 2019 5:25 pm

Hi guys,
I am new to the Audacity and signal processing world. I am currently working on a project that involves monitoring of a radio channel.
Since I am unable to physically monitor it 24/7, I would like to integrate my SDR, which I am using GNUradio to receive, with a recording software, such as Audacity.
Is it possible to integrate them? And if yes, how does one go about doing this?
Integration, meaning that I am automatically linking the output of GNUradio, to be used as the input for Audacity to record.

Secondly, is there a way to automatically stop recordings and save them, using Audacity? Or is this a manual process?

Hoping to get some help
Kind regards,
-BTC

you can use Timer Record to do this.

If you want to integrate recording with GNUradio, I think you would do better using a simple command-line recorder, such as arecord (included in alsa-utils, for recording from ALSA) or parec (recording from PulseAudio) or jack_capture (recording from Jack Audio Sound System).
