Recording Audio on Mobile devices?

[JOHN PATTEN]

Ahhh… Thanks Monte! I’ll look again on your mergExt site.   I hadn’t seen it the first time I looked.

I was downloading it from the bitbucket site and I have never compiled an external, or the code of an external, before. Something I’m interested in learning though. 

Thank you!

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:
