Recording audio question ?

is there any way of recording the sound during game play (just the sound) and saving it automatically........The only way i can do it at the moment, is to run and record with windows sound recorder at the same time......is there any way to automate this...or does anybody now a solution.........i know Construct is primarily used for creating games, but this function would be a god send.

You could do this with Python:

PyAudio:

http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/

import pyaudio
import sys

chunk = 1024
FORMAT = pyaudio.paInt16
CHANNELS = 1
RATE = 44100
RECORD_SECONDS = 5

p = pyaudio.PyAudio()

stream = p.open(format = FORMAT,
                channels = CHANNELS, 
                rate = RATE, 
                input = True,
                output = True,
                frames_per_buffer = chunk)

print "* recording"
for i in range(0, 44100 / chunk * RECORD_SECONDS):
    data = stream.read(chunk)
    # check for silence here by comparing the level with 0 (or some threshold) for 
    # the contents of data.
    # then write data or not to a file

print "* done"

stream.stop_stream()
stream.close()
p.terminate()[/code:38qshoqv]

You are a god

i have been looking for this solution for over a year!

Phython is something i am still struggling to understand?

If you get the time, will you post me a step by step on this(or a cap)

Thanks a lot scidave

Hi there scidave,

I'm not really familiar with the workings of python, could you please put this into a .cap?

Also, is it possible to use a 'save dialogue' to select where to save it to, either before or after it has recorded? and if so, how?
