record voice response and continue while recording

Hi I want directRt to record a voice response, to clear the screen upon the response and to continue immediatly with the next stimulus. So I entered rt:aud,rec,-1000,clear-1. However, directrt displays the next stimulus only after 1000 ms after response onset. Thus, it waits the entire recording time. Is there a way to let directRT to display the next stimulus immediatley after the voice response onset, while at the same time recording the voice response for the specified duration? Thanks in advance, Regina

It can't multi-task when doing a voice recording. If a voice RT is in progress, the remainder of the trial has to wait until the RT and/or recording of the audio response is complete. Basically, the program enters a special set of algorithms for audio recording/RTs and doesn't come out until it's finished. I believe the only exception is that you can simultaneously monitor for a single keypress.
