Capturing audio from microphone and save it to a file

Hi!!
I'm searching for a code using JavaSound that allows capturing audio from a microphone and save it to a file.
thanks in advance and sorry for my English

Capture audio with microphone and save to disk

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any way to record audio from
user's output? Let's say I capture it using its microphone, and I
want to create an audio file with it, or a swf file or whatever
file it is. I need to save that audio for further playback. Can
someone point me in any direction!? I have been surfing on this
topic but I didn't find anything, apparently it can't be done, but
I would love otherwise.
Thank you,
JCA

Yes that's the way it could work. FMS is designed for
streaming audio, video and data around keeping things synchronised
in real time, but it can save the streams to be played back later
as well.
It would be an expensive solution if that's all you want to
do.... there is an open source 'version' in development... called
red5, but I think you need to know how to program in java, although
I'm not sure.
Or you could look at adobe connect/formerly macromedia breeze
- It prebuilt and is a pay for use service, but does much more than
what you're looking for. I'm pretty sure you can custom logo it
etc. You might want to try the free trial account and check it

Capture audio from MIC and decode bitsream

Hi, I am new to windows phone 8.1. I want to capture audio from the MIC using MediaCapture, first I can capture to the audio using recordToSorageFileAsync but I cannot capture it to just to a memory steam, how is this done? Also after it is captured either
way the recorded data needs to be broken up into a byte array, so that I can bit decode, i.e. I need to determine what is a high and what is a low, the audio is Manchester encoded given a 1 = 25mSec on 25mSec off and a zero = 25mSec off 25mSec on, how can
I decode the audio to find out this pattern, the audio pattern will have a fixed preamble of FF followed by the data.

StartRecordToStreamAsync
method provide the possibility to save to memory stream.

Capture Audio from microphone

I can't capture microphone on winxp, but ok on win 2003.
Help me.
Thanks!

[http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javapedia/JavaSoundDataSourceSampleProgram]
Just saw this and [http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javapedia/JMFQuickstartGuide]. This is great work, congratulations!
I have a small suggestion, I saw [JavaMail Forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=43] sometime back and it has a 'sticky' which points to FAQs. It was added by 'bshannon', a poster who handles a forum single handedly, just like you :) .... So, I was wondering if you also can manage to post the link to new compilation of yours in a 'sticky' thread, then it would be very nice. I don't know how 'bshannon' managed it, but I guess you can suggest this at 'News and Updates forum' (which also has stickys of its own).
I had not visited this forum for a long time, I see your stars are at 'triple Nelson' ;-) I hope you get over it as quickly as possible :) although I am not superstitious...
Thanks!
Edit: Is Bill Shannon author (one of the authors) of JavaMail api? because here he mentions api homepage as his homepage, quite possible!

Can JMF capture audio from sound card?

I want to know if JMF can capture sound/audio from the sound card. Until now we have been capturing audio from microphone. but is there any possibility of capturing audio from sound card using JMF.
The audio captured from the sound card is to be streamed using JMF/RTP API.

Dear seniors,
i have tried to display my audio file as a graph as
x axis being the Time and the y axis beeing the frequency/pitch.
look at this post, i have mentioned all here...
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3073027&#3073027
is it possible to display as i desired?
wht the audio stream has? is it frequency or pitch?...
pls do give me some tips on that...
thanx in advance
-Munas.

I compiled and ran your code and saw
the error you described, but could not fix it ..
OTOH - here is some code I was mucking
about with recently (it was adapated from an
example I found on a forum, but I cannot recall
where), it seemed to work quite well, without
ever creating a processor.
Maybe that might help?

Process audio from mic and play it back. (What is wrong with my code?)

Hi, I am trying to take the audio from the mic (at javasound://0), process it (add the JMF API sample plug in GainEffect.java) and then play the processed data source. The code I have so far is below.
I am getting no errors - compiles fine - but nothing seems to be happening.
The grand goal is to take the audio being captured from the mic and process it in real time using a plug in (not necessarily GainEffect) and also play it back (the processed audio) at the same time.
Where am I going wrong? Thanks!

Ok, I narrowed my code down to this. There doesn't appear to be any infinite loops in the code now, but perhaps I'm wrong? The processor is realizing, and I am creating a player with the data source output from the processor, yet there still is nothing playing... which leads me to think that there is something wrong with my plug in implementation or my processor creation. Do you have any ideas or points in the right direction?

Capturing Audio from DAT

Hello,
I'm trying to capture audio from a DAT deck (Tascam DA-20) into FCP HD by routing it through my JVC BR-DV600U DV deck (RCA output from DAT, RCA input to DV deck, Firewire into FCP).
The DV deck's input is set to line-in, and the audio is being routed through (audio meters on DV deck mimic those on DAT deck, and I can hear the audio through the headphones jacked into my DV deck).
However, when I try to capture the audio on FCP, I am unsuccessful, prompting the following window from FCP: "Error: Final Cut Pro HD was unable to read the movie file just captured."
Now, I use the same set up I described above to capture footage from my Beta deck into FCP with no problems (route Beta signal through DV deck and firewire it into FCP). This leads me to believe that perhaps the glitch lies within my Capture Presets.
At first, I tried to capture the signal as an Audio-Only DV NTSC 48 Khz/Non-controllable device. After that failed, I tried to create my own capture preset, but am not sure it will make a difference, as the only input choices I am given are DV Audio, Built-In Audio, and None.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Why not capture the audio content outside of FCP, check the sample rate for 48Khz/16-bit, convert if necessary, save as an AIFF file, and then import that resulting sound file into FCP?
Any good audio app, including STP will do captures.
You are probably going to need to do some cleanup on the audio anyway before you use it, so why not just use an audio app to do it beforehand?
Besides, if you have an audio device (PCI card or Firewire device) in your Mac, you can use the S/PDIF port for your connection to the DAT and do a digital transfer when you import.
As I understand the way you are doing it now, you are taking digital content from the DAT, converting it to analog for the connection into your deck, and then re-converting it into digital when you capture it back into FCP.
One big advantage of digital audio (and video) is to avoid generation loss and added noise during transfer if you go D-to-D.
If you don't have an audio card or Firewire A/D audio I/O device with S/PDIF ports in your Mac, then see if you can find a friend who has one and can do the transfer for you. Then he can give you the file on a CD-ROM.
That's what I'd do.

Capture Audio from Mic

I am new to Java and need to know where to start with developing a Java app that can capture audio from a pc's mic, convert it to mp3, name the audio, and store it in a directory of my choosing. Additionally, I'll need an interface to that audio app that can receive function calls and args from a windows-based application.
Can you point me in the right direction- sample code if possible.
Thanks,
Jeff

I have the same problem. There doesn't seem to be any sample code for capturing an audio recording with JMF! I have browsed the web, the usenet groups and the (physical) library. It's almost like they try to keep it secret :/
There is plenty of information on how to use the JMF player, though.

Capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically.

Hello Everyone,
My requirement is to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically. No manual uploading will take place.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically automatically upload images to SharePoint library.
You will save images in your local computer after capturing visitors’ image. You could develop a custom timer job to periodically get pictures from the local folder in your computer. Please refer to this article:
Create and Deploy Custom Timer Job Definition in SharePoint Programatically
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/634208/Create-and-Deploy-Custom-Timer-Job-Definition-in-S
you could upload pictures to your SharePoint from the folder with C# code, please refer to this article:
How to: Upload a File to a SharePoint Site from a Local Folder
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms454491%28v=office.14%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Capturing audio from telephone for use in FCP

My requirement is quite specific, and so far none of previous posts seem to answer my question. So...
I'm looking to capture audio from my telephone for use in FCP. It won't be a telephone conversation, but a voice text. In other words, an SMS sent to a landline. The audio is saved as a voice message on the answer machine. My phone / answer machine is fairly basic - it has a speaker and the only ports it has is for power and the telephone line itself. I have tried a very basic method of playing the message on speaker and capturing it on a mini DV - but that results in too much audio edit to get it to sound acceptable. My Mac is a G5 and I have the full FC studio, but just not sure of best way to get audio onto the Mac without losing too much of the sound quality.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks all...

you need a telephone audio interface like the products made by the fine folks at gentner, telos or jk audio. i have a celltap from jk audio, works very very well. http://www.jkaudio.com/celltap.htm

Using Flex to capture audio from Flash

Hi!
I've been trying for a while to figure out how to capture audio from a flash-application (http://www.delorean.se/mixer)
and store it as a mp3-file.
Since I've studied Java for 2 years I thought I'd try and use it to capture the audio but I'm running into problems all the time,
and I've been advised to look up Flex by other Java users.
So, I got some questions:
Is Flex a good tool to use to capture audio from flash-applications and store the audio as a mp3-file?
Is Flex hard to learn (I've been working with Eclipse for a long time so the IDE shouldn't be a problem and learning another language/framework is always nice)
Any tips in general?
Any answers would make me very happy!
Thanks!

physical are closed : how will it managed the queues and overspill queues when target is not present? Also the data dictionary must reflect the primary but If you run capture, then you introduce rules that are not on primary: How ?

Thanks. I tried an app called Office2HD and it does exactly what I need. I can even email my edited file from this app.
