Sound files not recorded

[heathmatheson@dal.ca]

Thanks for the reply!

I've tried this as well but the sound files, if they are being recorded, are still missing. Would they end up in any directory other than the VOICE directory that running the program creates?

Thanks again,

Heath

They should be located within a voice subfolder of the data folder. If you still can't find them there can you attach a sample input file you are using the requests a specific amount of time to be recorded? Also, ensure that the voice subfolder has read/write permissions set to true (i.e., by right clicking on it and selecting properties).

I'm having the same trouble with recording -- no sound files appear.

Your instructions say "You can also request that DirectRT save the incoming sound as a .wav sound file in a folder so you can listen to it later." Hmm.... Yes, but how? The voice folder does appear as a place for output data, but it is always empty. Read / Write privileges are allowed on this folder. I have tried with a stereo mic as well as a mono mic.

The command rt:aud, rec, 5000, clear-1 (and any variation on this) doesn't produce any recording....

I might also add that I have tried ending the trial (*) immediately after the stimulus recording, as well as adding other fields to allow for more time.

Any other suggestions?

I'll answer my own question.

rt:aud,rec,5000,clear-1

NO SPACES between the values.

Does this mean the sound files are being saved now--as a function of having no spaces in the syntax?

[chicagojimmyjames]

Yes, that's right. It works when there are no spaces.

Hi all,

Yes this worked for me too!

I two more questions related to this:
a) There appears to be no way to record a voice response for a period of time but simultaneously make the image disappear as soon as the RT is triggered. Is this correct?

b) During sound check there is a reported 'RT sensitivity'. Is this value related to the actual Db of the voice in any straight forward fashion?

Thank you so much for the replies.
