I have ANOTHER program that needs help.

It's not that big though, it's a karaoke type program. You play the music and the microphone object, you listen to it, sing and you playback the singin with the song. But it's all funked up.

There seems to be many things wrong here.
First of all, SampleDuration("Sweet Home Alabama") seems to always return 0 so it would stop recording instantly. It probably only works with WAV sounds and not Midi files. I'm afraid you have to manually give the duration of the midi file to the extension.

Second, I don't think the Microphone Object's "Play from memory" works the way you believe it does. It requires pointers to sound data in memory and you "point" it at nothing (or random data which makes it crash)
You have to call that action with theese parameters:

Left address: LeftBufferAddress( "Microphone object" )
Right address: RightBufferAddress( "Microphone object" )
Size: BufferSize( "Microphone object" )

I did try the above, but it looks like the Microphone object is quite flawed. It also didn't save a single byte to the file it created.

It's certainly not great. It doesn't even encode the audio. It was a rushed extension for a small project I had a while ago- not really intended for widespread usage, but I thought someone might find a use for it..

ohh, do you think I should just scrap it or try to make it work?

[James]

Scrap it. I should make one which encodes to Speex someday

I think there were other examples somewhere that uses MCI to record from the Microphone. It just records plain WAV's with no compressions.
Try searching for an MCI Recording example.
