# Recording

## Server-side Recording

Broadcasts can be recorded with our server-side recorder ([angrezi-live-recorder](https://github.com/radioangrezi/angrezi-live-recorder)) and will be stored on the [file server](http://server.radioangrezi.de/Live%20Recordings/Studio-Live/). Recordings can be scheduled **automatically** through Libretime/Airtime or triggered **manually**. The recorder will **record the final output stream** itself **not your local input** source (using `streamripper`).

Files will be named with the following pattern:`%Y/%m/%d/radio-angrezi-live-%Y-%m-%d-%%H-%M-%S_%label.mp3` with `%label` becoming the shows title, when the recording is finished. Unfinished recordings will end in `_incomplete.mp3`. Recordings with out a show title will have no `%label`.

### Automatic Recording

When scheduling a show in Airtime/Libretime the recorder will also schedule a recording **automatically for all shows**. (The checkbox `Record form Line In?` is currently ignored.) The recording will start at the beginning of the show and end with the scheduled end time.

Automatically scheduled shows can still be **stopped manually**. The recorder will the "ignore" the rest of the broadcast. *Currently (July 2020) it is not possible to deactivate the automatic stop at the end of the show, yet.*

### Manual Recording

Even without scheduling a show (or without selecting **`Record from Line In?`**) you can still start and stop recording at your own time. This way you can also start a recording before the show actually starts in the calendar.

Use the [web interface](http://studio.radioangrezi.de/controller/) to start and stop the recorder.

## Local Recording

{% hint style="danger" %}
If the production is **really important** to you and you need the recording in **high quality** always make a local recording!
{% endhint %}

If you would like to have the **highest possible recording quality** and have no dependency on the network connection and streaming server, you **should do a (additional) recoding locally** at your audio mixer / master out / in the studio. The streams quality is limited to maximum 320 kbit/s MP3 and the network connection can always be shaky if you are broadcasting form a remote location.

Use **butt, a hardware recorder** (e.g. Zoom H4) **or a software solution** to do a local recording.
