Idea: Release the Sound Compressor/Recorder as a separate applet

I really like the fuzzy sound of the compression! Totally get why there's a 10 sec limit tho.

In theory you should be able to just set whatever other recording program you use to 8khz audio 8-bit mono - although having looked at Audacity apparently it doesn't go as low as 8-bit, haha. But that's what you'd want to do to get the same effect

Millie's correct; I'm not intentionally doing anything special beyond lowering the bit depth and sampling rate. Converting 10-second-or-less audio clips in this way and saving them from Decker is pretty easy; something like the following in the Listener or a buttons script:

write[read["sound"]]

If you use Native-Decker this will only support reading .WAV files, but for Web-Decker it ought to work for any audio format your browser can handle.

Dealing with arbitrarily long audio is possible, but would be more complicated from within Decker.
