Hello all.
Just a quick question. Can anybody verify if the brummer Record bundle of plugins are working? Are they saving the recording to the path mentioned in the plugin?
When I click on the record button, the animation plays. But after I stop the recording, the files don’t show up in the Audio Recordings directory in the File Manager. Am I missing a step somewhere? I am facing the issue on both a latest Patchbox OS system, as well as binaries compiled from MOD repos on a Bullseye system.
@KAOSS I verified that the brummer Record plugin (I tested the “mono” version) is working on my setup.Can you check if the audio files are found in the following path: User-Files / Audio Recordings / lv2record
try checking ownership and permission of the user file directory ls -l /var/modep
and it might help.
I currently can’t show you the desired output but I thing ‘modep’ has to be the owner
I once experienced similar problems when I have externally (by externally I mean managing files in sd card using windows laptop or sort) copied user file folders from backup stored elswhere.
and seconds to @jtemple967, yes I was able to record audio via mono version of brummer record plugin few weeks ago on patchbox os 64bit , rpi5
I checked that directory and no audio files are present in the directory. I even tried making the lv2record directory, but to no avail.
After looking at this issue, I even tried setting MOD_USER_FILES_DIR variable equal to /var/modep/user-files, but that still didn’t help.
I checked using ls -la /var/modep/user-files and everything seems to be in order. modep is the owner and the permissions are drwxrwsr-x. If I’m not mistaken, these are the commands I’m supposed to run, yes?
sudo chown modep:modep -R /var/modep/user-files
sudo chmod -R 2775 /var/modep/user-files
@KAOSS it’s a dumb question I know, but you do have an audio input going into the plugin, right?
Yes indeed. As you can see from the screenshot, the meters on the plugin are showing activity.
@KAOSS I see you’re using the stereo recorder but I just tested the mono. I will need to verify if the stereo recorder is working in my setup. Can you try the mono recorder and see if you get a file?
Also, I don’t recognize the Loopor plugin. Where did you get that?
Just tried that. Unfortunately the same result. No file is generated.
You can find the GitHub repo here. I believe I had gotten it from the big plugin archive from TreeFallSound from their pi-stomp download. I also have accumulated quite a few beta plugins from the MOD forums. As it stands now, I have a total of 704 plugins showing up in the UI. Would be more than happy to share if there’s an interest!
@KAOSS Thanks for sharing the link to the plugin collection. I will definitely check them out!
Did the brummer recorder plugin come from that collection or did you download from patchstorage?
I’m not exactly sure. Initially I had downloaded all the plugins available from Patchstorage, but when I merged them with the archive linked above, I can’t remember if I chose to overwrite everything or copy over only the newer plugins. Maybe I should try with a fresh Patchbox OS installation just in case.
@KAOSS you read my mind. If the record plugin came from the fine folks over at TreeFall I would expect that it would work but their plugin may be expecting to put the user audio files in a different location. I know that the plugin in patchstorage works. You could just delete the record plugin directory and install from patchbox so you don’t have to start over. Just a suggestion.
That solved it! It’s now working in MODEP in Patchbox OS and I now have files in the /user-files/Audio Recordings/lv2record directory!
I just tried running it on my Bullseye MOD installation, but unfortunately it didn’t work. So then I tried building it from the source. I built it using the mod option in the makefile. The resulting build did save the recordings, but it saved them in the path ~/lv2record. So I had to create a symbolic link so that the files showed up in the right place.
