Device Overview

Name/Version: Channel Recorder 1.0
Author: artoftheloop  
Description: Drop this device at the end of your chain on any channel, and it will record the outgoing signal whenever the transport is running.

The device will automatically generate a file name based on the time and channel it is located on.

You will need to set up the patch for your computer. Edit the purple "Prepend" object in the "file_path_processor" subpatcher to reflect your desired save directory. You can drag and drop this directory on the main panel, but its effects are temporary.

The output file generator names the file thusly:
Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Track Name from Live API, Extension. Your file will be overwritten if you start the transport twice within the same minute.

This device is great! It's a lot simpler than other recorder devices, which is perfect. It just does it's thing and gets out of the way.

I did have a tough time figuring out how to permanently set the recording path, (and I think I identified a bug, see below), but since I got it all sorted out, it's been fantastic.

Anyway, to the developer, thank you much! It would be absolutely awesome to have a threshold-based version of this device for quickly and easily capturing one-shots from e.g. a drum rack or hardware drum machine.

Potential Bug: (On Mac OS Big Sur, w/Live 11.2.7) I had to change the file path so the device would record inside the desired folder, as opposed to inside the directory containing the desired folder. What I did was append the folder name to the end of the file path. So for example, if I wanted to save samples to /Users/username/Music, it would end up saving the samples to /Users/username.

In order to fix it, I changed the file path to /Users/username/Music/Music, which works even though that directory doesn't exist. Or maybe that was what I was supposed to do, I dunno, I only know enough to break things, generally speaking...
