It can record audio from your system's soundcard, microphones, browsers, webcams & more. Put simply; if it plays out of your loudspeakers you can record it. It has an advanced timer that can: * Start, stop or pause recording at a given clock time. * Start, stop or pause after a time period. * Stop when the recorded file size exceeds a limit. * Start recording on voice or sound (user can set the audio threshold and delay). * Stop or pause recording on "silence" (user can set the audio threshold and delay). The recording can be atomatically controlled by: * RhytmBox audio player. * Banshee audio player. * Amarok, VLC, Audacious and other MPRIS2 compatible players. * Skype. It can automatically record all your Skype calls without any user interaction. This program supports several audio (output) formats such as OGG audio, Flac, MP3 and WAV. User can also control the recorder from command line with --command option. See audio-recorder --help for more information.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Audio Recorder (UNOFFICIAL) To install Audio Recorder (UNOFFICIAL), simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install audio-recorder --beta ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
