OK, so what I need to be able to do is record for 5 sec, pause for 2 mins, record for 5 sec.....etc.
Is there any way of doing this with the script etc within Cool Edit Pro?
I've sussed the timed record, but this will not repeat preiodically......

Unfortunately, scripting will not allow you to do this. Would setting the timed record for a long period of time not work?

I want to us it to monitor song by song the music output of a competitors station. Being able to time lapse would enable to identify every song played over a day without forwarding through loads of audio tape!
T'was worth a try - looks like a tape deck with an external time will be the solution!

What do you care what the competition is playing? Let them figure out how to monitor YOU to hear how REAL programming is done! right......?

Coz they have a format to stick to, and if they are breaking that, we can screw them with the RA. Believe me, this is in no way to emulate their playlist!

I would give anything to avoid wearing out my fast forward button when doing those monitors as well!

I was wondering if this might be a solution to your problem. If you have a little disk space to play with, start a "new" file. Make it low res audio, like 22,100 8bit or less. (Your only using it for reference right?) Then after you've recorded 8 hours or so, use a script to delete all the in between stuff. Then listen.
The script would take some thought, but I have a strong feeling that it can be done. I'll try to come up with a script on my end when I get some free time this week.
Good Luck and Blessings

I do timed recordings of a similar nature using some windows macro software called Keytext
With this software you can do just about anything you can do sitting at your keyboard only automatically.
All you need to do is run Cool and setup some appropriate keyboard shortcuts eg ctrl-space to start recording, 'space' to stop recording etc and use Keytext to press those keys for you with appropriate pauses inserted to get what you want.(I generate 5 seconds silence, copy it to clipboard, and use keytext to 'ctrl-v' paste it at the end of each section)
Kettext can be found at :-http://softwarecenter.efront.com/KeyText.shtml Try it - its really easy to do

To Reiterate John, I know nothing of this software, but was just in another portion of Syntrillium support where someone had a similar question.
One of the responses had to do with using macros that can automate any Windows program. Sounds like what John is talking about. And the response from the initial question-asker was glowing. Sounded like he thought it was great advice.

Dutchguy's post of using software that automates practically anything within Windows reminded me of a program I use for certain tasks ... though I admit I haven't attempted to use it to control CE. Download their demo version and give it a try. It's called AutoMate - http://www.unisyn.com/automate/
Good Luck -
