Krec help!

[Barry]

Oh god I'm sorry for being so rude by saying I would probably use
something else Arnold. I didn't realise I was conversing with the
author himself!! How embarrasing, especially as your so modest about
your efforts.

I'm well impressed but I was moody because unless I manage to do the
recovery I've lost a great recording. I think your right about me not
having enough tmp space. If I had another few gigs of space then there
would have been room to make the tar zip.

I have jack installed but I wasn't sure how to use it exactly. I
wasn't aware of qjackctl though! That makes things easier for sure,
thanks a million. These are some really cool tools you've pointed me
to that's for sure.

I ended up using the non-graphical alsamixer as it was the most
reliable as well as it happens.

Having looked through the links you've shown me I'm very grateful
indeed. I've just installed a load of jack applications and I'm
extremely impressed. I had no idea there was so much pro audio stuff
for linux. I mean when I saw krec I thought it was cool that someone
had sorted out a recorder with a compressor. I don't know how open
source developers get the time to create these wonders!

Looks like krec is still the most user friendly way of recording with
a compressor though even though tools like jamin are very impressive.
:-)

Arnold your a star! Thanks a million! 

Best Regards,
Barry.

P.S. I still think it wouldn't be a bad idea to be able to turn off
the tar zipping in krec though.
