locating or recording a sound file

Post by trags3 » Fri Mar 06, 2015 6:44 am

Is there a way to record a song on the iOS devices with LC?
My 13 year old grandson wants to build a metronome and sound recorder into an app and then be able to send that recording to his music teacher in an email.
I can't figure out how he could record without using a separate app.
Any ideas?'

Edit
The Standalone settings have "Microphone" in the Requirements and restrictions section but I see no way to access it.

Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom

You'll need an 'external' to record on iOS

RunRev have rreMicrophone (http://livecode.com/developers/guides/externals/) - and I haven't tried it myself but for iOS recording I hear good things about Monte's free mergMicrophone external http://mergext.com/mergext/
