[4.63] resizing buffer while recording into it
this maybe a stupid quest:
can i dynamically resize a buffer while recording into it from adc?
instead of setting a specific buffer length upon patch load i would rather depend the used buffer length on the length of pressing a record button, to save RAM initially, or to allow for any buffer length needed.
how would i approach this best, preferrably without interrupting reading from a buffer, that is currently as well being recorded into?
thank you very much for any hint!

Thank you RabidRaja,
i had the double buffer method in mind also and found a thread hinting to a working method here:

Excuse me for not having checked properly before, thank you again,

Stefan,
when i record into a recbuffer for later looping, then it would be crucial, that the loop starts running as soon as i stopped recording. This works as along as i record into the same buffer that i loop from. If i use a file to record in first, i'd have to open this file in a buffer dedicated to playback, which would take some milliseconds at least i suppose. someone recommended copying a buffer in RAM with peek~. didn't try it yet, but the idea seems faster to me than having to open a file from disk.
happy new year, by the way, stay healthy and clever in 2009!

Stephan,
This recbuffers~ looks like something i could use in a project im working on. I did a search of the forum/list but couldnt find it. just found recbuffer~ abd puffer~ abstractions. could you point me in the directiion of this download?
Thanks
Michael
