Sound Recorder activated automatically in WhatsApp

I was very suprised when recently a friend of mein noted that he has received a 22 minute voice recording message over WhatsApp. I found out that the integrated Sound Recorder had recorded a message acitivating and sending it out without my knowledge. Is there any kind of shortcut or combination of buttons on my Mobile or Whatsapp itself that could activate the Sound Recorder without me doing this on purpose? Normally it takes at least four clicks zu start the recording of the Sound Recorder in WhatsApp: Attachment / Audio / Soundrecorder / Start Recording

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Sounds strange. Haven't used whatsapp myself so I'm not fully sure how the app works, but if you have the sound recording key active on the keyboard you're using you might have accidentally pressed it and recorded a message.

1DC- Sound Recording via Line input woes

Have the latest firmware update on my 1DC. There are 3 issues I am hoping someone can help with
#1 I assume you must set Sound recording to 'Line input' and NOT manual, but if I set the Rec level, whenever the camera is powered off, either automatically or manually, this Rec level is ALWAYS reset to zero. Also, the moment recording is startted, even though audio input levels are set correctly, no audio is recorded. This seems like a firmware bug to me. This does NOT happen when set to manual. Anyone know of a workaround?
When using Manual and plugging in an external audio source I assume this signal will override the audio from the camera's internal mic.
If this is correct and there are no issues when using 'Manual', then what is the difference between 'Manual' and "Line input'??
#2 When setting Sound input to Manual, the VU meters are visible, but NOT when set to Line input. Why?
#3 Can anyone recommend a specific connector to go from line out on a Zoom H6 to Mic in on the 1DC?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No. Apparently a buggy firmware release. My understanding is that there is another release planned soon. Hopefully with several new (and working) features in addition to the line input.
Using Manual with a -25dB cable for now.

Can I make professional sounding recording with Logic in an untreated room?

I have a small bedroom-recording studio. Since starting with Logic over a year ago I have been amazed at how much you can really do with this program. I would really like to start producing my songs at level that competes with the sound quality of what most people purchase on Itunes and professional albums. However, I don't have the space or money to record and mix in an acoustically treated room. It's my little 10x12 bedroom in California after all, and I also have to keep everything else I own in the same space.
Some people argue that an acoustically treated room is the most important thing in getting a truly great sounding record, BUT my question/argument is that IT IS possible to get a pro recording without elaborate foam set-ups and bass traps, etc. Here are my thoughts and please feel free to agree or disagree and prove me wrong—also note, I am NOT talking about mastering, just getting quality recordings and mixes before the mastering stage (that I would pay a pro to take care of anyway).
I have good monitors for my setup (Event ASP6s and have had a few professional recording artists I know comment on how good they sound). I listen to music all the time on these speakers and know them very well. When I record my own music I frequently A/B my recordings (as I am recording AND mixing) with music from CDs to match the sound quality. I focus on both total recordings and specific instruments when doing this A/B strategy. I also mix at low volume levels.
My thinking is this: If I'm able match (or at least come close to matching) the sound of my instruments and mixes to a commercial recording using my speakers and Logic, then the room should not matter. The speakers are reflecting the sound of a pro recording, regardless of how the room is treated, and I am in turn emulating this sound with my own music. Thus, my music should translate well on other systems, as the pro recordings obviously would do so.
I realize that quality mics, preamps, mixing skills etc. are important for creating a professional, accurate sounding project as well, but the fact that I am unable to record in a properly treated room has always bothered me and I’m not going to be able to change this situation any time soon.
I’m curious about everyone’s opinion on this. This is a great forum and there are a lot of knowledgeable people here. This is the age of the “Home Studio” and most people with home studios don’t have quality rooms, so this is an important subject. Thanks for any feedback.

Jack, I'm in a similar boat here in Seattle. I just finished recording and mixing a few songs for demo'ing purposes and was pretty happy with what I achieved, but let's just say there was a lot of learning involved with the process.
In my limited experience, when you're working in a small untreated boxy room, you're fighting a different big problem at each stage of the recording process. When you're recording, you have to deal with comb filtering and flutter echoes (if you're recording mic'd acoustic instruments), and when mixing room modes and bass-response issues. There are various ways of addressing flutter echo, which boil down to creatively using dispersion and absorption techniques and playing around with mic placement. If you close-mic everything, you can get rid of some but not all flutter problems, but then you have to wrestle with having an exaggerated low end on all of your tracks, and you lose a lot of the open, airy quality of the instruments you're recording.
My "studio" has a couple of large bookcases along one wall, so I typically recorded the guitar in M-S stereo facing the bookcases (to get some dispersion) and set up a couple of homebrewed O-C 703 panels a few feet to each side to kill off the echoes. I also set a panel up on the wall behind me to further dampen things. It seemed to work pretty well. Mixing was a whole 'nother matter. No matter how much I A/B'd I did a bunch of mixes that wound up sounding truly awful when trialled on other systems. I went through a lot of CD-R's before finally winding up with something that wasn't actively cringeworthy (at least in terms of audio quality).
Since your setup is based on an MBP and a portable FW interface, one thing you might try is recording acoustic instruments in a larger room elsewhere in your apartment, or maybe at a friend's. Or maybe rent / borrow a church for a day.
Hope this helps,
Trent

Attaching e-mails to the interaction record(Activity) via ERMS set up

Hi Experts,
                 1. Activity (Interaction record) to be created automatically on receiving an email.
                 2. Once the acitivity is created then it must be routed to employee responsible based on certain rules.
           For the above requirement we are trying to config ERMS.
During the creation of an activity it should be possible attach ( link ) the e-mail or documents to the interaction record via ERMS set up. Do we need to do any configuration to attach the e-mails to the interaction record (Activity) . Please provide inputs on this requirement.
Contributions will be highly appriciated. Thanks
Regards,
Lakshmana.P

Hello Lakshmana.P,
Typically you would not actually route an Interaction Record (IR). If some follow up action is required, it is a best practice to create a service ticket. The IR creation is more appropriate for situations in which ERMS can auto-respond with a solution to an easy question about e.g., shipping rates, return policies, retail locations, or whatever. There are default actions for routing service tickets, but not for interaction record.
Best regards,
John

I'm using gnome 3 as well and I had that problem too, what I did was this:
1. I installed gnome-alsamixer and activated the microphone from there (because is muted), also you can configure multiples variables there.
2. Then I installed Audacity and with that you can record everything.
If you can't find another solution try to apply this.
Sorry if I make a mistake with english (is not my first language).
Regards.
Hi thanks for that, that works for recording off the mike, but what I want is to record from any source playing on the speakers/headphone.
I found this script on the net that works very well:
#!/bin/bash
WAV="$1"
if [ -z "$WAV" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 OUTPUT.WAV" >&2
exit 1
fi
rm -f "$WAV"
# Get sink monitor:
MONITOR=$(pactl list | egrep -A2 '^(\*\*\* )?Source #' | \
grep 'Name: .*\.monitor$' | awk '{print $NF}' | tail -n1)
echo "set-source-mute ${MONITOR} false" | pacmd >/dev/null
# Record it raw, and convert to a wav
echo "Recording to $WAV ..."
echo "Close this window to stop"
parec -d "$MONITOR" | sox -t raw -r 44100 -sLb 16 -c 2 - "$WAV"
#parec –format=s16le –device=”$MONITOR” | oggenc –raw –quiet –quality=4 -o $WAV -
It records whatever is playing to a .wav file which I can then convert to whatever format I want with Audacity/Sound Converter etc ..

T3i 'movie recording has automatically stopped' and other ongoing and 'new' problems.

I purchased a T3i in March of 2011 and within a year of purchase we started experiencing problems.
Firstly - I purchased a three year Mack Warranty with this camera.
By June of 2012, the 'movie recording has automatically stopped' problem was no longer our only issue. That month we lost a whole production day of video. There was no explanation. It was on the same card that we had used before and we sued it after. It was not a particularly hot shoot because we were inside and out frequently. All footage from that day was gone from the camera. I ran a recovery on the files; they were present, but they were unrecoverable. When this happened again a couple of weeks later, we threw away the card that it happened on and on the third event, We were using speed 10 cards only.
On August 31st, I sent our T3i in to Mack who looked at it, couldn't duplicate the problem (movie recording auto stopped, much less data loss) and they got it ready to send back. I spoke with Mack support and got a supervisor to look more closely with a technician at the problem (I had sent a very detailed description of the problem) based on my description and a technician paying attention, they were able to duplicate the problem but not fix it. They sent it to Canon. Canon duplicated the problem and 'fixed' it. It was then sent back to Mack because they won't send directly to Mack's customer. Mack sent it back. I received it sometime after October 23rd. Note - that's no camera from 8/31 to 10/23 + a couple of days shipping. Nearly two solid months.
'Movie recording automatically stopped' would not go away but we were not losing footage. I called Canon. Canon support told me that it could be a card speed issue and if not that, maybe a bad make or brand. They said that this is a problem with DSLR's or maybe rebels specifically and we would need to learn to deal with it - something about data capture and data block sizes. The problem is that when you're shooting a scene, it's not always just 'incidental' if you have to start over because of an error, is it? And is this how Canon's products are to work, really?
In December, a white dot appeared on our sensor. We sent it in on Jan 10 and got it back sometime after Jan. 31st. Movie Recording Automatically Stopped is still occurring. It comes and goes. :Lately it's been infrequent.
A little while ago I pulled the camera out to take some snapshots of a system I'm working on. No matter which mode, autofocus on, with the flash up, attempting to get an autofocus (depressing snapshot button 1/2 way) I get this strange electric sound and a flash. Autofocus will not engage. Again - no matter which mode - no autofocus, a strange electric sound and a flash. Movie recording works fine. But that's not the only capability of this camera, is it?
Canon - it is apparent to me that we got a lemon. This will not work for my business any longer. Trying to get problems solved with this camera has been lengthy, disconcerting, painful. My disappointment has me throwing in the towel and asking - why the heck would I buy a Canon again much less the Mack warranty to go with it?
Please give me a solution beyond going for another two months without a camera that comes back and develops a new problem within one to two months’ time.

This problem has been posted online in many places & is a known and serious flaw with the T3i. How come Canon feigns ignorance & blames it on the card or file size? Why don't they post a positive solution or at least admit to the camera's shortcomings?
The Canon tech rep is being disingenuous! The problem happens on and off to a lot of people using the same card!!! It has happened to me as well with me as well. Sometimes it records to the max limit & sometimes it just stops! Doesn't Canon do research into serious errors with their cameras?
I'm sure they know of this problem & don't want to recall & fix their sh..ty camera.

IdeaCentre B520 - sound recording too low, sound on Skype too low

Hi
When I speak on Skype or use Sound Recorder to record my voice (using internal microphone), the sound is very low.
I think I have turned up every possible Microphone and Audio setting on the system to its highest.
My IdeaCentre B520 is very new and I haven't installed anything else on it other than Skype.
OS is Windows 7 x64.
I used the Lenovo automatic check for drivers and it said all drivers up to date.
I haven't had a system with an internal microphone before, I literally just talk (loudly) at the monitor, I presume there isn't anything else I need to do?!
Thanks for any help you can give with this frustrating problem!
Patricia

Hello Patricia,
This is not good to know that you are encountering the issue with your new desktop.
Please make sure that the Audio driver version is 6.0.1.6294, if it is not then you may download it from the mentioned below web link.
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ie/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_4706.html
If the version of the driver is same then you can try the settings.
1. Right-click the icon of the speakers icon at the notification area, and then click “Sounds
2. Click the tab “Recording”, and then click “Microphone” à select “Properties”.
3. Select the tab “Listen”, and then check “Listen to this device”. Apply it, and the function will be enabled.

No sound recorded on the internal microphone after SoundMAX driver update (Windows XP)

My internal microphone is not picking up sound after I upgraded my SoundMAX driver (available from the Lenovo website here) to version 5.10.1.571.* It looks like this was a problem before and was supposedly fixed in 5.10.1.5520 which is included in the version I have.
I have tested the audio through the Control Panel utility, i.e., Sounds and Audio Devices Properties - Voice - Test hardware. No dice: my voice could not be detected. I also tested via the Windows XP sound recorder utility, i.e., Accessories - Entertainment - Sound Recorder. Same result: silence.
In the Control Panel's Sounds and Audio Devices Properties, I have verified that the Default device for Audio and Voice (playback and recording) all are set to "SoundMAX HD Audio." The SoundMAX software that ships with this laptop (also called "control panel") is very scaled back. There doesn't appear to be anything interesting there to adjust.
Thanks in advance.
* I updated the driver because I was troubleshooting my original problem. My plug and play Logitech laptop speaker suddenly stopped working. Alas, that problems remains and I have created a new one.

Hello,
Here versions of the Audio Features for Windows XP driver that I was able to find:
5.10.1.5410 - download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7ka112ww.exe
5.10.1.5520 - download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7ka114ww.exe
5.10.1.5670 - download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7ka113ww.exe
5.10.1.5710 - download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7ka116ww.exe
Hopefully, one of these will work for you.

How to insert a sound recording and save it to iTunes?

How to insert a sound recording and save it to iTunes?
I have 5 voice recording on my iPhone, but the fifth was not detected on iTunes.So i can't sync

Hi,
According to my analysis, for Digital Signatures: Adobe has changed the behavior around digital signatures and SharePoint-hosted PDF files. Now, when digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file, it will be saved directly to SharePoint if that PDF file
is already checked out. If not, the user will be prompted to check it out. When digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file in Acrobat X, Version 10.0, the user would be prompted to save that file locally and would then need to upload it separately to SharePoint
as a new version.
I suggest that you use Acrobat X, then check the result. For more information about Acrobat X, please refer to

Sound recorder playback volume low ?

I have a dv6000 notebook , for the first time ever I tried recording sound using windows movie maker to add ''narration'' but the playback volume is very low .
I tried the windows '' sound recorder '' and got the same result .
I've been through all the standard adjustments and settings and have gone into ' control panel ' and adjusted 'levels' and everything else with no success .
When I record a video using the sound on my camera the volume is fine - it's just the mic sound that is low whether I use an external mic or the built in ones .

I have the same issue and I see no responses to your inquiry.. This Windows help menu leaves much to be desired. Im sure I will one day figure out how to work this version that I had no clue I was buying bc it should come with a warning label.. its completely different and agonizing and great help menu lovely.. Im sorry to be so negative wish I could help.. Ill sit here all night till I figure it out and then post an option on how to adjust the recording volume.. Unreal..

Sound recorder with ActionScript

Is it possible to build a sound recorder
with ActionScript? I know that you can
do it with a Flash Media Server. But that
requires a steam and a server.
I just want a simple recorder/player so
that a user could test and adjust the
settings of his/her microphone by visiting
a web page. A user should be able to do
it without any server resounces, since the
sound card/microphone/audio are already on
his/her desktop.
I'd appreciate any suggestions, with or
without ActionScript.

AFIAK not possible without a media server. But you can use
the open source media server "red5". Its free and can do everything
(at least thats what the developers say) the Flash Media Server can
do.

Sound Recorder with Wav sequence

Hi
I am lookin for sample code of sound recorder which displays the wav sequence while recording...
something like Windows sound recorder...
If Anyone knows... pls let me knw..
Thanks & Regards,
Chandrakanth

Look at the JavaSound Demo (http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/samples/JavaSoundDemo/)
You must run it as a standalone app (java -jar JavaSoundDemo.jar) or modify your policy files, and thats tedious.
In the app, there are several tabs and select the one of capture / playback.
