Sound files not recorded

[chicagojimmyjames]

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.

Heath,

Glad that worked for you also. As for your other questions... 1. do you mean having an image appear, starting a voice response, and having the image clear from the screen *while* the voice response is occurring? Kind of like the "clear" function works when waiting for a key response?

And 2. The value in the RT sensitivity is not a measure of decibel level although that would be a sensible conversion for us to do (it's just not really doable for a number of reasons). Lower numbers simply mean that the microphone will be set off more easily. Every computer ought to be tested as various hardware factors can influence incoming how loud the computer "perceives" the sound to be.

Hello,

Thanks for your responses again! As for your question....

"1. do you mean having an image appear, starting a voice response, and having the image clear from the screen *while* the voice response is occurring? Kind of like the "clear" function works when waiting for a key response? "

.......Yes. It seems the image has to remain on the screen while the voice is being recorded?
