Sound Recording not working on Big Sur #31

Closed ayskura closed 1 year ago

Is there a way around this? It has to do with permissions to use audio input also would be great a way to stop audio recording without keyboard thank you

As said said at https://16-bits.org/ft2.php: "On macOS Mojave and later, you can't sample audio. This is because of an issue in SDL2 where it won't ask for permission to use the selected audio input device before sampling."

I have no idea how to work around it.

Anyway, I changed the code to allow mouse button press to stop audio sampling, but I'm not sure when I will release a new FT2 clone version.

OK brother I sorted it! to record the audio input on Big Sur (I assume all apple OS who has these new microphone protection) you do as follow: Right click on the application and chose show package, then navigate inside /content/macos and launch ft2-clone-macos which will open the terminal. now make sure you have selected the audio input and output in the preferences, go to the "sampler" section and click record. Select mono and now... magic, mac os will ask you for permission to use the microphone! approve and here we go: you can record!

now another small request would be a shortcut to click the sample button (CTRL+E so go to sample editor, it would be nice to have a shortcut to start the recording! and it would be great oskip the dialogue about stereo or mono (MONO!) maybe having two shortcuts one for stereo and one for mono so to avoid having so many dialogues?)

thank you for this awesome program! <3

This is not a very feasible solution... Also, for hotkeys, use CTRL+S to go to the sample editor. There will be no hotkey for sampling, but when you press the Sample button, just do a quick Return/Enter press to skip the dialog. The dialog is kinda important, becuase you'll wipe the sample data as you start recording.

This has been fixed, I forgot to update you about it.
