| - `rotateIntervalBytes` - The threshold size (in bytes) at which the recorder will start writing to a new file. If set to `0` (default), file output rotation is disabled. When active, new files are named with the original prefix appended with a timestamp. You can join the rotated files after recording with [`concatAudioFiles`](/docs/utils/file-concatenation#concataudiofiles). | ||
| - Use a large enough value for your format. Very small thresholds rotate often, which increases the chance of audible gaps or muffled joins after concatenation — especially for **M4A**, where each segment is a separate AAC encode. | ||
| - Practical starting points: **≥ 1 MB** for WAV, **≥ 200 KB** for M4A (adjust upward if you still hear artifacts at segment boundaries). | ||
| - `rotateIntervalBytes` controls segment file size, not RAM usage. For crash-resilience tuning on Android, use [`androidFlushIntervalMs`](#androidflushintervalms) instead. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
link to androidFlushIntervalMs is not working and maybe do not repeat here rotateIntervalBytes just use something for example "this option"
