💖 RECWAV(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to recwav, one of the lil telephony tools that ships with the Voicetronix setup ✨ she lives in the same little family as the rest of the Voicetronix Telephony Tools, and honestly? she's giving very focused, very one-job energy. love that for her. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

recwav — record an audio file straight off a Voicetronix hardware port 🎙️💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

recwav [options] file secs

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, recwav grabs audio from a port, records it for however many seconds you asked for, and drops it into file. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🫶

like, you tell her where (file) and how long (secs), and she handles the rest. main character energy honestly. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

the following options are available, and yes we're going through every single one because we don't skip, ever 💖

  • --card number — pick the card you wanna test, explicitly. the default? card 0. she's humble like that. ✨
  • --port number — same deal but for the port. default is port 0 of whichever card you specified up there. 🎯
  • --recgain db — set the gain to use while recording. turn it up, turn it down, you're in charge babe 🔊
  • --onhook — do NOT take the port off hook before recording. like, leave it exactly where it is. stay put bestie 🛑
  • --mode linear|alaw|mulaw|adpcm — picks the sample type you're recording. default is 8kHz 16 bit linear, which is the classic, the icon, the blueprint 🌈
  • --dial number — dials a number out the port before recording starts. so you can ring someone up and then hit record 📞😭
