Trying to find air check software

[Koss4AA]

I'm looking for a software program to record digital airchecks. Not logger type software but for 'checking a show.

I had just what I want in 2008, but can't remember who I bought/downloaded it from. Former co-workers don't know. It made an mp3 file for each break, with the day/time as part of the file name. Every show had its own folder with all that day's breaks in it. Mic relay turned the software on/off. It was only $25 as I recall, and a really great program. You set up what days/hours to record and never missed recording a show.

I've googled to find this or a program like it with no success, can anyone help? Or have another suggestion?

Thanks!

Was it Total Recorder?

No this isn't the one I had but may be usable, I need to read a lot more of their info to be sure. Thanks very much for this lead!

The Telos Profiler has the ability to "skim" like you want. Then you can access each break individually.

I miss the days of simply hooking a cassette recorder to the mic button.

Thanks Rico I'll check on that

Ruger, that's what I have now, so I have 'checks. Total pain to roll it onto Adobe to make digital files though

Skimmer Plus is what I use. Very solid and you can buy the cheap usb relay card and have it record both long form and mic breaks by just hooking up the on off buttons to the card.

I have an application called SureLog which can record via contact-closure, either in individually time-stamped files or by appending a single file with each subsequent "mic-live" portion of audio. It requires a Game/Joystick input (analogue or USB) for this feature but otherwise operates as a standard "logger" direct to MP3/WAV.

Step Voice Recorder is what I use. Right now, I have my Insignia HD radio connected to my computers USB port (USB powered!) and with a 3.5mm cable connected to my computer's Line Input. I am recording 98.9 out of Austin right now, In case they flip to UT (which I hope not). I have several hours on each, it can hold up to 18 hours of music on each file before given me a needs to close, illegal function call error.

Then I will be moving them to DVD+R discs, clearing the way for more.

That way if 98.9 ceases to be oldies, I will have the music for good! It would be like nothing changed except I will have to buy an MP3 player and leave my cassette walkman at home, or record onto cassettes and play them (but will have to charge the rechargeable batteries some more)

Though it won't be the same as hearing directly from the FM.

Koss, there are two free programs you may find helpful; neither are Windows programs (they are Linux) but they offer pretty much what you want.

First is called "Linux Audio Backstop". It can run on the crappiest computer you have stuffed into a corner of the garage (down to a P-II 450!), but it will need a relay GPIO board to read mic switch closures. See details at:

Second is ROTTER (http://www.aelius.com/njh/rotter/) which is actually a logging machine, not an airchecker. But it does the job of those expensive dedicated logging machines and is drop-dead free.

Even if these aren't what you're after, you may find them useful down the road. Good luck.
