I am trying to build a program which can collect and store data of audio sounds over time. Basically i require the program to execute a save based on the data or decibels that the mic has managed to record on a specific time,for example, to execute a save of the data 5 mins,10 mins,20 mins after the start of the program. Then, translate it onto a visual, for example, a soundwave line.

However, i am new to this and i am not sure where should i start and any area i can look into to start building this program.

your help will be much appreciated! thank you :D
