Automatically stop recording after 30 seconds of silence

Post by hawk1996 » Tue Sep 20, 2011 4:11 pm

I have several cassette tapes I am converting to mp3 and it would be helpful for Audacity to automatically stop recording after 30 seconds of silence, like when the cassette ends.

Audacity can "pause" when the sound level drops.
