I am trying to record the audio using AVAudioRecorder. My problem is i want to play the file while it is being recorded. Is there any way i can do this? I have set the category to PlayAndRecord. I have created the file for recording.
I have tried to initialize both the recorder and the player for the URL and tried to play the file after the record function. But it seems that only one chunk of the file gets played.
I seriously doubt you can do this with AVAudioRecorder and AVAudioPlayer convenience classes.
The AVAudioPlayer assumes that the file it plays is static and complete. For example, it has no method to dynamically update the track length. It reads the track length once at startup and that is why only the initial chunk of the file gets played. Any modifications to the file made after the AVAudioPlayer instances opens the file are ignored.
You'll need to set up a custom audio queue if you want to get fancy.
As an aside, how do you plan on getting around feedback problem of caused by recording what you are playing? You have nothing but a shrieking squeal in very short order.

AVFoundation has been quite a struggle for me because most of the examples and documentation out there are in Obj-c.. As my title states, I would like to write to file in real time instead of calling exportAsync once the user has finished recording their video.
If anyone can offer some advice or documentation on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!
It's not clear where your video is coming from, butexportAsync makes it sound like you're using AVAssetExportSession with an existing file or composition.
capture your video (and audio?) frames
a. if from an existing composition or file, with AVAssetReader
b. if from the camera, with AVCaptureSession etc
progressively write the frames to file using AVAssetWriter & AVAssetWriterInput
If you're expecting the writing to file to be interrupted for some reason,
consider setting the AVAssetWriter's movieFragmentInterval property to something small .
I am looking to record and save a music/song file with one or more audio track(s) let's say a max of two tracks playing simultaneously while recording my vocals via the headset or the microphone. The finished product will be a single song file(mp3 or other format).
Also, the code should have the ability to filter out outside noise/interferance and add basic effects.
Appreciate any and all Xcode help!
I have done same thing using AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord.
in my code, played karaoke file in MPMoviePlayer and at same time takes input from mic.
output is audio from MPMoviePlayer and it will be used as input also + input from mic.
i started to save this input in caf file, and upon finish product should be single file.
I am developing a game for the iPhone and iPad using cocos2d, and I need to be able to play a sound exactly when another one completes.
I have a soundtrack that is chopped up in smaller pieces, and there are no room for the tinyest gap between playback when one finishes and one starts.
Btw. I cannot glue the sounds together into a single file and just play that since the order of the files will be rearranged runtime.
How can I achieve this?
With CocosDenshion you can register a delegate with
[[CDAudioManager sharedManager] setBackgroundMusicCompletionListener:self
selector:#selector(musicDidFinish)];
CDAudioManager class reference
This delegate will be called whenever the background music ends. This of course only works if you play your sound files as background music (with the playBackgroundMusic method).
If that doesn't work for you, have a look at ObjectAL. You'll have more options and greater flexibility. For example, with ALSource you can queue multiple ALBuffer objects which represent sound files. That means whenever the source's buffer count decreases to 1 you just queue the next buffer to achieve uninterrupted, sequential playback of multiple sound files (any format).
Because ObjectAL is so awesome (well, I think so :) ) it's included and ready to use in Kobold2D.
You can use a single Audio Queue or the RemoteIO Audio Unit, and just fill the callback buffers with raw/PCM audio samples from any file in any order.
I have an iphone app where I am playing a sound with one button using an AVAudioPlayer object. However, I would like to use a variable for the sound name and send a value to that variable. I have two other buttons that play different sounds and would like to send the sound name values to the variable that is in the AVAudioPlayer. How do I do that?
Thanks!
you can keep your audio files (in resource) with numeric names such as 1.mp3, 20.mp3, 41.wav etc and then you can use [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d.mp3",soundId]; to generate sound file name to use generating absolute resource path and pass it to AVAudioPLayer
Best of Luck!!
This cannot be done. Create a new AVAudioPlayer for each new sound. If you wish to interrupt the current sound, send stop to the current instance.
Is it possible to play audio and video file at a same time? I want to play different audio file and video file at a same time and also want control for both, so is it possible?
Sorry, not that I know of. The movie view automatically stops all audio files and takes up the whole screen, so you are forced to listen to the audio for the video.
If the audio is part of the video file, yes.
If it's an MP3 file or some other external type how are you planning on playing it? The phone might allow this to happen depending on what you're up too.
You might be in luck soon though...
