Recording Audio on Mobile devices?

Hi All…

Still looking for info on recording audio on iOS. I did get confirmation back that Monte’s mergMicrophone (repo.goulding.ws) does actually work in the simulator and on an iOS device. However, I can’t get this to work in either the simulator or on an iPad. The stack builds fine for iOS but it’s as if it is ignoring the external. I noticed in Monte’s original microphone example, he has added a file to his standalone settings:

/users/…./externals/mergMicrophone/binaries/mergMicrophone.lcext

The attached files that are zipped with the example stack does not include “mergMicrophone.lcext.”  I’m not sure how to create that from the accompanying files, or if it was left out on purpose. 

Does anybody have additional tips on how I could get Monte’s example stack to work correctly in the sim or actual iOS device? Or does mergeAV facilitate recording audio like mergMicrophone supposedly does or is it just for video?

Thank you!
