Can I continue recording until the volume drops below a threshold? #527

I want to use sounddevice to continue recording until the volume drops below a certain value and then save it as a file, but in most examples I specify the number of seconds and record. Is it possible to do this?

Yes, this is certainly possible. You'll have to implement the signal processing, though.

Thank you! Do you have any samples or other reference for signal processing implementation...?

mgeier commented 3 months ago

No, that's out of scope for the sounddevice module. But you could try asking at https://dsp.stackexchange.com/, for example.

Understood, thank you for your courteous response!
