Dear community,
I have succesfully made my first few patches and I can play it live
via midi, using  "-odevaudio -M1 -b400" as csounds options.
Now I would like to record what I'm playinf directly to a wave file,
but I don't know how to do it.
Maybee I should mention, that I'm using a linux machine, with kubuntu studio.
Thanks for Your support
Stefan

Try using the opcode 'fout'.

If you use QuteCsound as frontend, you can simply push the Record  
button for this.

Dear all,
thanks for Your fast answers. I have been able to play live while
making a wav-file at the same time, but the quality of the wav-file is
terrible. I don't know where I could change this.
Here is the code:


-odevaudio -M1 -b400


sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 2

instr 1
;READ RT-MIDI NOTE NUMBERS, CONVERT TO CPS
icps    cpsmidi
;READ RT-MIDI VELOCITY, CONVERT TO AMP VALUES WITHIN THE RANGE 0-10000
iamp    ampmidi    10000
;CREATE A SINE TONE
asig    oscili    iamp, icps, 1
;SEND AUDIO TO OUTPUTS
outs    asig, asig
ga1 = asig
ga2 = asig
fout    "test.wav", 4, ga1, ga2
endin


f1 0 1024 10 1 0 .25 0 .17
i1 0 600  ;let dummy instrument run so performance doesn't end

The best thing is to put fout in a different instrument and route audio to 
it:




-odevaudio -M1 -b400


sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 2
ga1 init 0
ga2 init 0

instr 1
;READ RT-MIDI NOTE NUMBERS, CONVERT TO CPS
icps    cpsmidi
;READ RT-MIDI VELOCITY, CONVERT TO AMP VALUES WITHIN THE RANGE 0-10000
iamp    ampmidi    10000
;CREATE A SINE TONE
asig    oscili    iamp, icps, 1
;SEND AUDIO TO OUTPUTS
outs    asig, asig
ga1 = asig + ga1
ga2 = asig + ga1
endin

instr 100
fout    "test.wav", 4, ga1, ga2
ga1 = 0
ga2 = 0
endin



f1 0 1024 10 1 0 .25 0 .17
i100 0 600  ;run rec instr for the length of performance

Send bugs reports to this list.
To unsubscribe, send email sympa@lists.bath.ac.uk with body "unsubscribe 
csound"= 

This could happen if you don't have write permission to the file (or
directory where the files should be placed).
Try setting the sound file output directory (SFDIR if I remember
correctly) to a location wher you are sure you have permission to put
new files.
It could also happen if the sound file is open in another application,
and this application have write protected the file temporary to
prevent it changing while it is under this application's control.

Sorry,
one last question: how can I record a stereo-file with fout?
