| I've tried searching for topics about using microphone in bmax, and only thing so far i've found is raknet stuff: http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=84074 Is there any attempts made to do this stuff with other than raknet? (like based on the enet module) |

| Hy, I'm Midimaster from Germany. I have a perfect solution for you, written in a tutorial, but... it is in german language... Perhaps it could help you: http://www.blitzforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33843 Maybe you can translate it, but nevertheless at the end of lesson III you will find a complete working code. |

| That's awesome Midimaster! Thanks for posting that link! |
| ||
| Translation done: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blitzforum.de%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D33843&sl=de&tl=en :) |

| Thanks. (Hmm, now need to figure how to transmit this recording over network...) |
| ||
| but Hey.. MidiMaster? Can yoy make a english version about this. what i know that you know english.. so why you just make a some kind lessons... |
| ||
| (Hmm, now need to figure how to transmit this recording over network...) Couldn't you just load it into a bank with LoadBank then use Read/WriteBank to send/receive? EDIT: Actually, I think you can just capture it into a bank. It would be easier to send that way. |

| Ok, I did translate it. You will find it here: OpenAl Audio Recording Tutorial: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=90830 But my english is terrible! Now I need a nativ speaker, who will have a look on it and helps me to remove the mistakes! The second part (transmission) is the same as you would do it for a picture, etc... He can capture it into a Bank too. I would try to reduce the numbers of datas and compress it before sending it. Because with CD quality to would have to transfer 1.2Mbit each second. With 11025kHz and MONO 8bit it is still 90kBit each second |

| Alright, thanks guys. @Ked: care to share a one more pointer where to look for that "easier to send that way" - I've never sent banks to anywhere, only visited them. :) mono 8bit... 90kB per sec. Sounds bit high in terms of bandwidth hogging (just think of several people speaking simultaneously - killing your network :D)... but perhaps doable. |

| @Ked: care to share a one more pointer where to look for that "easier to send that way" - I've never sent banks to anywhere, only visited them. :) Sure. Instead of creating an audio sample, create a bank: Global bank:TBank=CreateBank(44100*5*2) alcCaptureSamples(captureDevice,bank.Lock(),number) bank.Unlock() Then, use WriteBank() to write to a TCP stream. (NOTE: Above code untested.) |
