ah man, that is genius! Exactly what I need to know. Thanks alot! Do you also have any idea for the second question: How to execute some blocks at the same time?

I believe @tatiang did something with sound and timers.

Did I? I probably did! I have so many demos lying around. I’m not recalling that but executing blocks at the same time… you’d just have two event blocks. So instead of this: On button click Play sound Start timer You would have this: On button click Play sound On button click …

ah the problem is this: I record a sound and the recorder block has a function “record for x seconds”. So you start it, it records for X seconds and stops. No matter which way you turn it: either the timer or the recording rund for X seconds before the other one start. I have an idea how to solve …

Don’t use the built-in timer. Just use the “seconds since 1970” block in the Device drawer. You can set a variable to that block just before you start recording. Then, after the recording is done, compare the time by setting a different variable to seconds since 1970 minus the first variable. That w…
