help me with audio recording plz

[.:AMS NUB:.]

hey guys i am working on a drum machine. So far it works flawlessly. But when it records I use the audiorecord.dll i found on this site and it works fine, BUT it only records open air, like thru the microphone. How do i set the properties to point to specific channels in the AMS8 app that I want to record ?

i am using AMS 8 with AudioCapture.dll

here are my globals :

function StringToTable(string)
	index1 = String.Find(string, ",", 1, false);
	index2 = String.Find(string, ",", index1 + 1, false);
	
	audioSettings = {};
	audioSettings.Channels = String.Left(string, index1 - 1);
	audioSettings.SamplesPerSec = String.Mid(string, index1 + 1, index2 - index1 - 1);
	audioSettings.BitsPerSample = String.Right(string, String.Length(string) - index2);
	
	return audioSettings;
end

--Audio capture quality settings.
AudioCaptureQuality = {};
--channels=1, samplesPerSec=11025, bitsPerSample=8);
AudioCaptureQuality.Low = 0;
--channels=2, samplesPerSec=22050, bitsPerSample=16);
AudioCaptureQuality.Medium = 1;
--channels=2, samplesPerSec=44100, bitsPerSample=16);
AudioCaptureQuality.High = 2;

AudioCapture = {};
--Gets audio capture quality.
function AudioCapture.GetQuality()
	return DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "GetQuality", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end
--Gets audio capture settings. [channels = 1 (mono), 2 (stereo); samplesPerSec = 8000 (hz), 11025 (hz), 22050 (hz), 44100 (hz); bitsPerSample = 8, 16;]
function AudioCapture.GetSettings()
	settings = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "GetSettings", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
	return StringToTable(settings);
end
--Gets audio capture mode status.
function AudioCapture.GetStatus()
	return DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "GetStatus", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end
--Sets audio capture quality.
function AudioCapture.SetQuality(quality)
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "SetQuality", quality, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_CDECL);
end
--Sets audio capture settings. [channels = 1 (mono), 2 (stereo); samplesPerSec = 8000 (hz), 11025 (hz), 22050 (hz), 44100 (hz); bitsPerSample = 8, 16;]
function AudioCapture.SetSettings(channels, samplesPerSec, bitsPerSample)
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "SetSettings", channels..","..samplesPerSec..","..bitsPerSample, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_CDECL);
end
--Sets audio capture time position in milliseconds.
function AudioCapture.SetPosition(position)
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "SetPosition", position, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_CDECL);
end
--Start audio capture.
function AudioCapture.CaptureStart()
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "CaptureStart", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end
--Stop audio capture.
function AudioCapture.CaptureStop()
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "CaptureStop", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end
--Start playing captured audio.
function AudioCapture.PlayStart()
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "PlayStart", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end
--Stop playing captured audio.
function AudioCapture.PlayStop()
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "PlayStop", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end
--Save captured audio.
function AudioCapture.Save(fileName)
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "Save", "\""..fileName.."\"", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end
--Clear captured audio.
function AudioCapture.Clear()
	DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "Clear", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end
--Get error if any occur.
function AudioCapture.GetError()
	return DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\AudioCapture.dll", "GetError", "", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
end

And here is my record button :

AudioCapture.SetQuality(AudioCaptureQuality.High);
AudioCapture.CaptureStart();

x = Slider.GetSliderPos("speed");
timer =0
timer2 = 100
timer3 = 200
timer4 = 300
while (timer < 17) do
sound = Button.GetState("Button"..timer.."");
sound2 = Button.GetState("Button"..timer2.."");
sound3 = Button.GetState("Button"..timer3.."");
sound4 = Button.GetState("Button"..timer4.."");
Image.SetVisible("Image"..timer.."", true);
if sound == 1 then
Audio.Load(CHANNEL_USER1, "AutoPlay\\Audio\\01 Kick 12.wav", true, false);
end
if sound2 == 1 then
Audio.Load(CHANNEL_USER2, "AutoPlay\\Audio\\01 Tight Hi Hat 02.wav", true, false);
end
if sound3 == 1 then
Audio.Load(CHANNEL_USER3, "AutoPlay\\Audio\\01 Snare 02.wav", true, false);
end
if sound4 == 1 then
Audio.Load(CHANNEL_USER4, "AutoPlay\\Audio\\05 Conga 02.wav", true, false);
end
Application.Sleep(x);
Image.SetVisible("Image"..timer.."", false);
timer = timer + 1;
timer2 = timer2 + 1;
timer3 = timer3 + 1;
timer4 = timer4 + 1;
end


AudioCapture.CaptureStop();


fileName = Dialog.FileBrowse(false, "Locate File", _DesktopFolder, "Wav File (*.wav)|*.wav|", "", "wav", false, false)[1];
if (fileName ~= "CANCEL") then
	AudioCapture.Save(fileName);
end

I have many channels and buttons on my app that a user may use when making the beats, I need to get this DLL to grab the audio from channels USER_1, USER_2, USER_3 and USER_4.

Is this possible ?

[.:AMS NUB:.]

so.... anyone ?

If the DLL accepts arguments for the capture function then this may be possible. Although, when a DLL wants arguments for a given function and none were passed during the call it should not work.. so if the call for the capture does work for you I suppose you can't do anything... Where you found the DLL you may look for instructions on how to use it, then you may find something that can help you.

[.:AMS NUB:.]

I got the DLL from here. No instructions were provided.

I think it would depend on what your computers mixer is set to record. You might benefit from choosing Sterio Mix or Wave in the recording properties. Muting the mic in playback is probably a good idea too.
I wouldn't mind a copy of that Audio Capture.dll please

Search the forum for the DLL, you can find it in the AMS 7 forum.

Thanks mate. Got it
