How to pause and resume audio recording using AVAudioRecorder

Question

I need to pause and then resume an audio recording, I'm using AVAudioRecorder for my recording sessions... Anyone knows how to do this? Any help will be higly appreciated! Thanks a lot Peace Massy

Answer 1

After initializing and creating an object of AVAudioRecorder, lets say AVAudioRecorder *recorder, simply call [recorder record] to record and [recorder pause] to pause.

If you are calling record and pause in separate method e.g. on click of different buttons then you need to make recorder a class level variable.

Answer 2

To pause the recording, use the following methods on AVAudioRecorder:

- (void)pause

and to resume, use:

- (BOOL)record

It's all here in the docs...
