Hi everybody,
I bought my Mac three months ago and it was only yesterday that I discovered the automater. So all this is very new to me and I thought some of the experts out there might be able to help? I went through the help pages but all this didn't make that much sense to me. It says it can do all sorts of things and I get the general idea but still I don't know how to get started.
Here is what I want the automater to do for me:
I want it to go to a specific file in a folder and open that file which is actually a link for Itunes to stream a radio programme. Once this is done I want it to open my audiosoftware to record the actual sound (Amadeus Pro that is). So within Amadeus Pro the record button needs to be pressed. At a specific time I want to press the stop button, save the file, exit Amadeus Pro as well as Itunes.
Would I be able to do all this with the automater??? To make things even more complicated - I will be away for 10 days so I want all this to happen several times during that time. So naming the files would be another issue. Or to avoid this - should I leave Amadeus Pro open all the time and rather create a big long file which I could cut into parts later? Technically this would be possible since the audio format it uses is not limited to 2 gb.
Being blind I only use the keyboard to get around on the Mac. Is there such a thing as a software that records the keys I press? I am not sure if this would make things easier. Again, I am a newcomer to all these things and any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Martin
