I'm allocating for a 60 second buffer when recording a sound, but If my recording isn't 60 seconds the file's size is still that of a 60 sec file and it'll show a 1 minute time length. Is there a way to get rid of the unused space at the end of the file using MAX features.

Not so long ago this was somewhat difficult to tackle, but since some time buffer~ knows a message called "crop". Its even mentioned in the docs (first place to read if you wish something to happen. Its a like miracle, and a lot of wishes will be fulfilled...;-)

... a crop message followed by start and end floats will shrink the buffer, the size message will resize it

I've figured out how to save the wav file, but I'm wanting to save it in a folder and not in the root directory with the maxpat i tried feeding it this "writewave New/audio.wav" where new is the folder that I want to save it and it still saves it to the root. When saving an image i can use the "New/image" and it will save it in the "New" folder.
