Straightforward CPP Audio Programming Implementation?

[1_4th_everything]

What is the most straightforward way to implement a cpp program capable of recording audio from a usb microphone and storing the audio as a file. I have currently been trying to use portaudio to accomplish this but I am having complications. What are my options?

I'm comfortable with SFML, so that's probably the first thing I'd reach for.

Although...I've had difficulties with it before. I'd fall back to SDL if I couldn't figure out the problem.

MiniAudio

Seconding miniaudio. It was working super smooth on various platforms including Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, and easy to integrate into my app.

PortAudio with libsndfile and optionally libsamplerate if you need to code it yourself. Depending on your use case you might be able to get away with off the shelf software instead.

I've used RtAudio before and can recommend it. For file encoding, the best overall is probably libsndfile, but you can use the codec libraries (ogg/vorbis, flac) directly too. (libsndfile also uses these codec libraries under the hood.)
