1I used to always keep a minidisc recorder in my studio running in a mode where
2when you pressed record it wrote the last 10 seconds of audio to the disk and
3then caught up to realtime and kept recording. The recorder died and haven't
4been able to replace it, so this is a simple jack app to do the same job. It
5has the advantage that it never clips and can be wired to any part of the jack
6graph.

8The idea is that I doodle away with whatever is kicking around in my studio
9and when I heard an interesting noise, I'd press record and capture it,
10without having to try and recreate it. :)

12Building
13
14This app requires:
15
16 * JACK
17 * GTK+ 2.x
18 * libsndfile
19
20and optionally:
21 * LASH
22 * liblo
23
24You will also need the -devel packages if you're using packages.
25
26./configure
27make
28su -c "make install"

30Usage
31
32Run it with "timemachine" then connect it up with a jack patchbay app. To
33start recording click in the window, to stop recording click in the window
34again.
35
36It will create a file following tm-*.wav, with an ISO 8601 timestamp, eg
37tm-2003-01-19T20:47:03.wav. The time is the time that the recording starts
38from, not when you click.
