SndRecGUI is a small SuperCollider utility to assist with recording sound files in SC using a graphical user interface. Assumes Qt, but likely Mac only.
Starting and stopping SndRecGUI can be done using a GUI button, or via code, as shown the the help file (call help on ‘SndRecGUI’ once the class is installed).
s.boot r = SndRecGUI.new(s); // pass in the server 's' // Now type in the file name field in the GUI (or evaluate the code below). // NB the Return key needs to be pressed (after typing) in the file name field. // Press return without typing for the default file name (SC_thisDateAndTime). // TextWindow will then turn green, and arm for recording. // OR r.fileName = "myRecording"; ( r.record; // or use GUI button a = {SinOsc.ar([440, 450]) * 0.3}.play; ) a.release(1); // stop the SinOsc (but not the recording) r.stop; // stop recording via code, or use GUI button
