Hi, everyone. I am wondering how to write a C program for recording 5-second audio via the PC microphone. I only know it's quite easy to achieve this in the language of MatLab(by just using its wavrecord and wavwrite commands), however I have no idea how to do it in C programming language as I am new to C. Do I actually need to initialize the sound device? If so, how? I am with the Soundblaster Audigy and Windows XP. Any comments will be highly appreciated.

Look up the waveIn API calls in the MSDN. There will probably be a sample program for you to look at too, written in C. The waveIn APIs aren't too bad to work with, and C is probably the easiest langauge to work with them in (it'd probably be a PITA in VB...).

I remember at least one really great program. And so I've been
writing to people looking to find it. It was compiled to .exe.
The size was about 20Kb to 50kb. It worked very very well.
And I believe the C routines were possibly included.

I have been looking for a particular old software that might have simply been called rec.exe, record.exe
recordwav.exe , wavrecorder.exe.(or .com). They were about 10Kb to 50Kb in size.

In the days of soundcards and IRQ's and DOS 3.3 I used a very useful command line program
that offered simply these few choices.

1. a data rate - such as 8, 12, 16, 24khz
2. a bit size such as 8, 16
3. a file type such as .aiff, .au, .wav, .pcm (but not mp3)
4. a saved file name

The command line would have looked about like this:

C:\record -8kz -pcm -16 test.wav


Has anyone figured out how to create a recorder like this or
have they ever found one? Yes I know there are many recorders
for Windows. But I really want one for DOS.

Thanks

hi andre,
do u know abt the site "inversereality.org"
here u can find athe that u require to record 5-sec or 5hr sound.
u can code it in the dos environment.

All the best,

I went to inversereality.org and asked for help. I was lost.

Can you provide a more direct link to what you were trying to
tell me they have? When I wrote to the mail link it bounced back
immediately.

The program that I am still looking for almost 1 year later did have
some .PAS which I assume are PASCAL programs which were then compiled
for me to use in DOS.

Anyone who has any ability to recollect or ask some 'old timers'
will be of great help to me.

One can reach me at

ajajaj at rediff mail dot com

string that together so that it looks right.

thank you
andre
