What kind of functions does JUCE have that allow for recording audio and playing it back, or does it all have to be done from scratch? ---

Juce certainly has the needed building blocks to do that but can you be a bit more specific about what you want to do? ---

Possible starting points would be this tutorial: https://www.juce.com/doc/tutorial\_playing\_sound\_files and the JuceDemo (JUCE/examples/Demo). It has a minimal component that records and plays back audio, so you could check out the code there which shows how to put it together. ---

I’m trying to record audio samples and being able to place them individually on specific locations on a measure or some type of GUI that would be intuitive to use that way
