hello
i'm pretty new to pd,i'm trying to record some sounds with sfwrite~ but can not find the wav files anywere.
i dont even know if its really recording.....it did work before but i don't know what happend.

please help
thanks

Well, did you specify the path with the filename when you told it where to save? You could make it easier by doing this:

[bng]
|
[openpanel]
|
[open $1(
|
[sfwrite~]

This will open a dialog with a file browser which will allow you to pick a filename and where to save the file. [openpanel] will send the whole path and filename out its output and will replace $1.

Any reason why you're using [sfwrite~]? [writesf~] is better supported and, since it's vanilla, is more widely used.

here is the abstraction i use to record my stereo stuff in pd...

Haha, yes, that is my new quest: to catch everyone on the forum who accidentally says [sfwrite~] and correct them! This isn't Max, goddammit!!!
