audio recording - synchronous execution

Hello,

I want to record audio from laptop's microphone and simultaneously "hit" play on some other non-matlab application.

I am using the following to record the audio -

recObj = audiorecorder;
recordblocking(recObj , 10);

what's the best way to do that the above script will start the exact moment I press a button with my mouse on some other application?

Thanks

Moose - to be clear, you want your MATLAB script to somehow "listen" for when the play button has been pressed on some other non-MATLAB application. Is this correct?

Use the Data Acquisition Toolbox and configure it for hardware triggering of the same hardware event that marks the beginning of whatever is producing the sound.

Or use Java Robot Class to send the mouse click to the other application.

Thank you Walter. I've used the Robot class.
