Re: Understanding the timescale property
Hi. Thanks for your suggestions, sorry to be slow in responding myself. Feel free to move the thread wherever it would be most useful for other LiveCode users.

Understanding the timescale property
I've worked with LiveCode/Revolution for decades, not as a developer but as an educator and researcher. I have a dictionary app (of an American Indian language) that I've made that uses audio files to play examples of words in the dictionary. To do this, I take a full audiotext (as an mp3), and then...

Re: recording audio
Hi, Joop, and apologies for taking so long to reply to your post on my behalf. Yes, I figured out that the MERG record function is designed for iOS -- it works fine in LiveCode running on my Mac, though, but not in a standalone, and inclusion of the MERG functions in Windows does not allow me to eve...

Re: recording audio
Okay, in a sense, back to square 1, because the mergMicrophone functions only seem to work on MacOS, but not Windows. I'm trying things on Windows 10, and the MergMicrophone functions cause scripts to crash. The standalone builder also crashes on Windows. Are there platform specific microphone (reco...

Re: recording audio
Your hack works, thanks so much. I wonder why we need to pay a pop tax?
Anyway, really helpful to be able to add recording to my app, thanks again.

Re: recording audio
A little experimentation shows that if I use mergMicrophoneSetNumberOfChannels mono i.e., set the number of channels to 1, then the tick seems to only occur the first time I record a sound on a new page. I’ll have to test things on other computers, too. Wish I knew more about sound and the many para...

Re: recording audio
Okay, I’ve been playing with this and it works very well for recording and comparison of pronunciation with a native speaker. However, there is one small problem, and that it is that there is almost always a "tick" sound at the beginning of my recording. This may not be a LiveCode issue, but I’m won...

recording audio
Hi, all. Could someone tell me the status of audio recording in LiveCode? I know things got interrupted by the demise of QuickTime. Has this been dealt with LC 8 or 9? If so, is there a pertinent tutorial anywhere on how to do recording and playback? I’m making some language-learning apps, and want ...
