    A roomate of mine studying electrical engineering did a senior project on this very concept…but in 1981 there were no personal computers and digital tech was way less developed so I think it was custom-designed circuitry. It worked, but only “kind of”…he was obviously decades ahead of time!

    what other medium could we use to record audio? now that i'm thinking about it, everything is a wave, so we're just converting waves into waves haha

    Anything that converts movement into electricity. There are some cool videos making microphones with pieces of quartz. And, of course, using magnetic induction with a coil and a magnet, which is how microphones usually work. It is not that hard to do it at home. We are working on a tutorial for that too.

    If I understand correctly. You can input any signal through the micophone jack. An issue is that the microphone input generally has a high pass filter, so if you are trying to record signals that change slowly in time, you might have trouble. I don't know how the NDIR signal looks like. Does that answer your question?

    @@victorminces First off, I can't thank you enough for responding, I've been posting this everywhere and you are the first one to respond I'm talking about just using the beam itself as a microphone, not with an external input But a special kind of beam and sensor that only breaks when you blow your wind instrument into it, not just any sound in the air (even if you that wouldn't actually involve an NDIR) I'm wondering if you can electrify your wind instrument the way that electromagnets electrify most guitars, and I'm sorry if that is off topic Wednesday, May 3, 2023 CE, 17:08 EDT

    @@mcwooley Oh I see. I am not sure that the changes in density associated with the vibration of the air inside the instrument might be enough to change the laser. My guess is that they won't, but you can try and let me know. Regarding electryfying instruments in general. The way an electric guitar pickup works is that the string movement interact with a magnet at the pickup, changing the magnetic field as it vibrates, then a coil in the pickup converts those magnetic field changes into electricity, which is then amplified. You could do something like this with any vibrating object. The issue with wind instruments is that what is vibrating the most is the air column (so you can't attach a magnet to it).
