Remarks

Starts a new recording session from a sound contained inside a memory buffer.

The sound contained inside the memory buffer can be in any of the sound formats supported by the StartFromFile method.

Sound files in various RAW formats can be loaded using the StartFromMemoryRaw method.

A successful call to this method will fire the RecordingStarted event followed by a number of RecordingPerc events and finally by the RecordingStopped event.

For details about recording from files see the How to record from files, memory or clipboard section.

Return value

Sample

Below you can find a couple of samples that demonstrate how to record from a sound stored in memory in Visual Basic.NET and Visual C# : in these samples the file is taken from a file and its contents are stored inside a memory buffer.

Visual Basic.NET

' declare the memory buffer (cannot be a local variable)

Dim m_byteBuffer() As Byte

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

 Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog

 If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() <> DialogResult.OK Then

     Return

 End If

 ' put the song file into a stream

 Dim streamFile As FileStream

 streamFile = New FileStream(openFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open)

 Dim binReader As BinaryReader

 binReader = New BinaryReader(streamFile)

 ' reallocate the memory buffer space and store the song

 ReDim m_byteBuffer(streamFile.Length)

 binReader.Read(m_byteBuffer, 0, streamFile.Length)

 ' record sound from memory buffer and resample its contents using the first available format (index '0' is usually 11025, mono, 8 bits)

 If AudioSoundRecorder1.RecorderStartFromMemory(0, "c:\output.wav", m_byteBuffer, streamFile.Length) = AudioDjStudio.enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR Then

     ' do domething

     ....

 End If

End Sub

Visual C#.NET

// declare the memory buffer (cannot be a local variable)

byte[] m_byteBuffer = null;

private void buttonLoad1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

 OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();

 if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK)

     return;

 // put the song file into a stream

 FileStream      streamFile = new FileStream (openFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open);

 BinaryReader    binReader = new BinaryReader (streamFile);

 //  allocate the memory buffer space and store the song

 m_byteBuffer = new byte[streamFile.Length];

 binReader.Read (m_byteBuffer, 0, (int) streamFile.Length);

 // record sound from memory buffer and resample its contents using the first available format (index '0' is usually 11025, mono, 8 bits)

 if (AudioSoundRecorder1.RecorderStartFromMemory(0, "c:\output.wav", m_byteBuffer, (Int32) streamFile.Length) == enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR)

 {

     // do something

     ...

 }

}
