So I guess I have two separate questions. First, how can I get PD to record a set amount of audio, either to a file or to an array (if anyone can let me know which would be preferable and why I'd love to hear your advice).
[tabwrite~]
Second, how to perform analysis on a wav file or a stored array.

2 remarks: i propose to use tables because you are talking about short samples, so there is no need to put them on hard disk (which is slow and therefore only good if you need your RAM elsewhere)
[tabread] is just for starters, when you know what you are doing; while you can basically do "everything" with it, it might be uncomfortable. (but otoh it is plain pd) more advanced table analysis tools are in the vbap and the iem_tab libraries.
but imo, you really should go and try to do it with [tabread], if only for the sake of portability and learning.
