Record and Play sound at same time IOS

[Stephen MacLean]

Sorry, I'm confused... Did it play what you recorded as you were recording? Did it stop playing or stop recording?

I never saw the file size increase until it stopped recording, but that could be the OS not updating the file size until then.

If that's the case you could create a new player every time you have your callback and it might include new audio. You'd have to figure out the current time of the current player and then start playing the new player at that time... You could try that.

There is usually more than one way to do what you want. Mine just quickly worked around what you described and what I saw.

Let me know how you make out:)

Best,

Steve

Once you stop recording to that file, the data is written out to it, "filling it out". If you now play it, you still get exactly what's in the file... but now it has length and data so you get audio.
