Hello, I'm looking for some advice on how to solve a problem I have with rigging up a specific audio installation at Röda Sten, Gothenburgh, for an exhibition I'm taking part in. I'm a filmmaker, so I have experience in audio tech as far as recording for film goes but little beyond that.
What I'm looking to do is have one small room where people can enter and record themselves, and another room where those recordings are played up, preferably in random order. And I want this process to be automated.
So basically this is a software issue, and I imagine it should go something like this: One peice of software to make the recordings and place them in a certain folder, and a music player that automatically plays files from that folder at random, and updates the playlist as files are added. Problem is that I can't seem to find a player that can do that, or an application that can do both.
I'm also thinking about what might be the best way to set up the recording spot to be as user friendly as possible, preferably so visitors can just press a button to start and stop the recording. We can aquire additional hardware if necessary, though a cheap solution is preferable.
It should be a trivial problem, but I'm in a bit in a hurry so I thought asking around might be quicker that trying to solve this myself.
I can't provide much here in terms of audio expertise in return, but I hope I can be of help to others if someone needs advice on film related stuff.
