I'm working on a project on MATLAB that records sound and processes. I'm completely fed up of playing the same sounds over and over again during the development.
Is there some kind of way to "fake" the microphone i.e. playing a file on my computer and getting it in MATLAB with the same code I use to record with my mic?
Thanks for any help.
PS: I'm on Mac OS X Yosemite
It depends how you've implemented your code - if you post the relevant sections you'd be able to get more specific suggestions - but in general you might be able to replace the part of the code that captures input from the microphone with a call that reads a file from disk - wavread would be useful for this (http://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/wavread.html).
If you're doing realtime stuff then it may or may not work, but if not then you could play the sound file in a third party application and use something to internally rewire the output to the input. Soundflower is one tool that can do this, there are others.
