Breaking The Sound (recording) Barrier
« on: January 17, 2005, 10:03:23 pm »
Hi all. So if my searches are accurate, it doesn't seem that anybody's been able to be able to record anything in OZ 3.5.2 yet. Am I correct, or would somebody care to enlighten me?

I've tried opie-recorder, which seems to just record static, & opie-vmemo, which I can't seem to get to do much of anything.

thanks

I have a 5600 running 3.5.2 and have had some success with Opie Recorder. The wierd thing is that if I try to immediately record something, all it does is record noise.

However, if I go to Options and unselect Wave Compression and then re-select it, recording seems to work just fine. I think I get the same results if I click on Stereo as well, but it has been a while since I tried it. I use 11 KHz mono going to my SD card.

Does this work for you?

Yes it does. Cool. Although another thing I noticed. I can start the recording by clicking the record button, but it will only save the file when I either let it finish (time out) on it's own or I hit the play (not the record) button to stop it. If I hit the record button to stop it, it doesn't save the file.

Thanks radioz.

My Opie sound recorder works OK as long as I select one of the time-limited options, but if I select unlimited it records about 1/4 second of noise then stops.
