Takes time for recorder to start on web

[sit-mraasith]

This is my first time raising an issue on github.

Package version record: 5.1.0 record_web: 1.1.0

Environment

• OS: Windows - Web App
• Chrome

When I click on the button to record, It takes about 1-2 seconds for it to start. Is this the intended behavior or is there something that i'm doing wrong.

I have a record button that calls start. Future<void> startRecording() async { try { if (await widget._recorder.hasPermission()) { await widget._recorder.start( const RecordConfig(encoder: AudioEncoder.opus), path: '', ); setState(() { _isRecording = true; }); } } catch (e) { if (kDebugMode) { print('cannot record'); } } } the set state sets the button color when _isrecording is true and also sets the function to stoprecording.

this is my stop record function `` Future stopRecording() async { try {

final path = await widget._recorder.stop();

_audioPath = path!;

setState(() {
  _isRecording = false;
});

} catch (e) { if (kDebugMode) { print('cannot stop'); print(e); } } } `` this is my button code ( i am not using elevated button as it caused some problems without my app layout.)

GestureDetector( onTap: () { if (!_isRecording) { startRecording(); } else { stopRecording(); } }, child: Container( margin: const EdgeInsets.all(12), decoration: const BoxDecoration( image: DecorationImage( image: AssetImage(recordIcon), ), ), ), ),

Add your record configuration RecordConfig(encoder: AudioEncoder.opus)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on record button
2. recorder takes 1-2 secs to start

Expected behavior it should have a faster response time so that the app feels responsive. If 1-2sec is the best that can be achieved. I will find a UI method to let the user know that they have to wait.
