Detect sound and fire event?

I have an idea for a fairly niche app and one thing that it would require to work is the ability to detect sounds, specifically two sounds in quick succession, and determine the time between them.

I guess I could record few a couple of seconds then analyse the recordings for two volume peaks but it would seem easier if instead of actually recording I could just set the mic to listen and fire an event when it detects something, is this actually possible with Corona?

wont the tuner give you a volume level as well? [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 4839 reply_id: 15569[/import]

Can it do that without actually recording anything? As if that works then it might be doable. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 4839 reply_id: 15571[/import]

Can this be done? I would love to use that effect in one of my apps… [import]uid: 13553 topic_id: 4839 reply_id: 17959[/import]
