Subject:hands free recording start Posted by: dwoodaman Date:3/12/1999 11:56:25 AM I would love to be able to start audio recording without having to touch the keyboard or the mouse. Specifically would like to be able to start the record function by pressing the sustain pedal on my keyboard, and stopping the same way. It is very distracting to have to take my hands off my insrument before I start to record. thx Dana Woodaman

I would love to be able to start audio recording without having to
touch the keyboard or the
mouse. Specifically would like to be able to start the record function
by pressing the sustain
pedal on my keyboard, and stopping the same way. It is very
distracting to have to take my
hands off my insrument before I start to record.
thx

I have encountered this problem too. While the problem is easily
fixed by getting a good producer. Of course this is not an option
for all of us (as many of us prefer to just work alone). I
have 'fixed' this by putting the computer keyboard on the floor. I
can hit the record button with my mouse and then get into my
instrument. When I am ready to record I tap the space bar with my
foot, the space bar will also stop the recording.

Hey.. Its something!

button on the joystick, and lay it on the floor. Instant controller
