How to use "record" command for some amount of time?

I want to record a signal

As I know, I can use the commands:

r = audiorecorder(8000,16,1);
record(r);

By this way, if I want to stop recording I've got to use the command:

stop(r);

The problem is I'm building a program in which I want to record for 10 seconds and things need to happen automatically. So if i use these:

r = audiorecorder(8000,16,1);
record(r);
stop(r);

I can't do what I want because the recording will stop immediately after it starts

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Oai - from Record audio to audiorecorder object, you can specify the length of the audio recording as

r = audiorecorder(8000,16,1);
record(r, 10);   % <---- where 10 is the number of seconds to record

That's exactly what I want. Thank you very much!
