Minim: How to record Minim's output

in Core Library Questions • 1 year ago

Hello,

probably a very basic question, but i don't get it.

I simpy want to record Minim's output.

I found lots of examples how to record the input. And i thought the following code should work, but the recorded file contains just silence.

out = minim.getLineOut();
recorder = minim.createRecorder(out, "test.wav", true);
recorder.beginRecord();
...
recorder.endRecord();
recorder.save();

Did i get something totally wrong?!

EDIT: The output of the program which i want to record is produced by an array of AudioPlayers.
I see that AudioPlayer implements recordable, so it should be possible to record a single AudioPlayer, which is not the solution of the problem...

Anyway, i am looking for a solution to record any audio-output, no matter how it was produced...

A few days later, i did more search on the internet and browsed the minim API, still got no solution of this problem which seemed to be quite simple.

Nobody out there to help me, pleeeaasssee?!?!

I have to finish a project and i'm now thinking to re-write it in Max/Msp, but uh, this would be a lot of work.

The processing version of the project is finished except the recording...

If you're on Windows one solution might be to set your recording device to "stereo mix" which will copy your audio output on the input.

Hi rbrauer,

thanks for your answer.

i'm using OSX. If i got you right, you suggest a workaround? To route the output of the computer to the input and to capture it like this:

input= minim.getLineIn();
recorder = minim.createRecorder(input, "test.wav", true);

On Mac OSX you can use Soundflower to route the out line in a new virtual line-in

Many thanks carlo!

Actually, i re-wrote the project in Max/Msp meanwhile. But i will check this workaround soon.

So, it really looks like there is no direct way to record Minim's output, right?

thanks again
