Can the audio tuner be used when recording to a file or during playback?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

In my application I need to detect when the user is speaking. I also need to record what they say and save to a file. I’ve noticed I cannot use the audio tuner when saving to a file. Is there any way around this?

Is there any reason why the audio tuner methods (like getTunerVolume) can’t return a valid value while recording something that will be saved to a file?

Is there a workaround I’m missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any thoughts on this one? Any info you can provide would really help. If you don’t get to it until after the break, no problem.

Hey Rob … I didn’t. I don’t think this one is a priority for Ansca right now.

Sorry, I don’t know all the answers to your specific questions. There are a lot of platform specific limitations right now with recording. However, have you looked at the ALExplorer example? I think it may do some of the things you talk about.

If you use two media objects, this is possible:

rec = media.newRecording(filePath)
loudness = media.newRecording()

then you just start them at the same time and voila! [import]uid: 31793 topic_id: 4592 reply_id: 85129[/import]
