I'm working on a program that spans between max and Processing.

The issue I'm having is that sfrecord~ successfully records audio when max has the focus, but when i'm using the program i wrote in Processing to accompany it, sfrecord~ doesn't record the audio. The output shows that the recording isn't happening and the resulting file I create throws an error in quicktime when i try and play it.

Is there an easy way to make sfrecord~ run in the background even when max doesn't have the focus? I'd rather not bus audio between max and processing if I don't have to.

Works fine for me without focus, don't know how processing should stop sfrecord~. I bet there is some other reason in your setup...

In case anyone else runs into this problem.

I got it to work by using tuio instead of mouseevents in processing. That way the tuio events are captured and executed in the background in processing while max still has focus.

Still unsure why max has to have focus for sfrecord~ to work, but at least it works for some people.
