Re: MergMicrophone And Exporting .caf files?

2014-10-06 Thread Stephen MacLean
Hi John,

You can set the format you want to record in, it doesn't have to be a .caf.

Here is where I set the settings for recording in an app I have

if the environment is "mobile" then
  mergMicrophoneSetNumberOfChannels "Stereo"
  mergMicrophoneSetSampleRate 44100
  mergMicrophoneSetAudioFormat "MP4-AAC"
  mergMicrophoneSetTargetBitRate 65536
  mergMicrophoneSetAudioQuality "High"
end if

You can play with these settings, but these are the ones I've found work 
reliably for MP4's on iOS.

HTH,

Steve MacLean

MergMicrophone And Exporting .caf files?

2014-10-06 Thread JOHN PATTEN
Hi All,

I’ve been thinking up some nice uses for internal school apps that let younger 
students record audio into an iPad. It would be nice to be able to share what 
they record with other students and their teachers. 

I played around with Monte’s open source MergMicropphone example on an iPad 2 
and it seems to work well for certain formats. However, it saves the sound file 
in Apple’s newer .caf format.  It plays back easily enough on the iPad it was 
recorded on, but I’m wondering what my options are for sharing the audio files? 
 

Originally, I thought I would provide and easy upload of the audio file to an 
internal web server but I’m not sure how to convert the audio file into a 
format that will play in a web browser mp4 etc.? I have access to on-rev too. 
Maybe there is a utility that would run on the server and auto convert files 
uploaded to a specific folder?  Not sure how I’d go about that though…?

Any ideas are welcome...

Thanks in Advance!
