Four Track/ Multitrack?
Recording Guy:
Just wondering if any developers managed to get the pcm_record.c duplicated X4 or so to make
4 track recorder plugin?
Is it very complicated and time consuming to implement in rockbox?
The navigation buttons are there..
mode stereo or mono (already built in to rockbox with Frequency samplerate)
track 1 or 1+2 arm/record toggle..stop
track 2, arm/record toggle..stop
track 3 or 3+4 arm/record toggle..stop
track 4 arm/record toggle..stop
mute button (solo might be getting a bit fancy and complicated as would panning possibly?)
but all that could be done later in Audacity or some prog.
It seems some developers were a bit scathing of the idea, but they might find themselves doing choral voiceovers or Jimmy Page/ Les Paul Frippertronics :D
Plus it would thrust Rockbox into the limelight even more as a cool nifty little prog for circuit benders/nutters, and the signal to noise aint that bad at all!
Possibly this is not a direction that The Devs wanted to go in, if so, fair enough.
saratoga:
Are there any devices that have more then 2 channels?
Recording Guy:
Hi Saratoga,
Well I didn't mean seperate physical channels, The TI chips do have 6 inputs:

But I was thinking buffered streams using the ram or something like that?
I can only go by the Iriver H10 which is handling audio in Rockbox exceptionally well, heck my netbook glitches more than this little thing.
Do you think this would be harder to implement on say the Wolfson chips that do not have the extra input pins like the TI chips have?
saratoga:
I don't know what you're asking.
Recording Guy:
Well this link might give you an idea of what I am talking about:

There are others out there like Houndogs Multitrack.
Not sure what the insides of an iphone have, but sending tracks over wifi
to a computer sounds dumb, and it is stuck in that Apple mode of doing things i.e
dumbed down and cutesy no control of sample rates etc.
It uses buffer streams to achieve what it does.
I wonder whether a SIMPLE 4 track is achievable in Rockbox.
It is something to do with pcm_record.c
