Sound Recorder

I have to make an mp3 sound recorder to record through mike. So, I plan to
use lame as mp3 encoder which is written in C. I am unable to import its dll
in C# project as a reference because it says that the dll formed is not a
valid managed dll. So, I compiled the project as a static library (.lib) and
used it in a cpp project. I was able to use it successfully this way.
Secondly, I was also unable to find any sound recording library in C#. First.
please tell me the library(if any) for sound recording in C# and secondly, is
there any way I can use this C Application in that C# project.

That's what i'm developing right now - sound recording with wav-to-mp3 conversion.

For recording i use Windows Multimedia API, which is the easies way.
There is a full-featured example on codeproject.com , which i used as a start:

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/...asp?print=true

It shows how to implement a wav player/recorder in c# using p/invoke of winmm.dll
And i'm positive it will work for you
If you would have any questions regarding use of that example, don't hesitate to ask me

Good luck,
Andrey

Hoping for some advice: I would like to write some code that controls the "window's sound recorder" that I embedded in my program with OLE.

Some line of code that would, for example, allow me to change the sample rate so that the user could record sounds at 8000...

Hi, I need to write a small WinForms application to record some sound in WAV and then integrate with another online application. I cannot find either a MS component or 3rd party component that will let me record sound. Does anyone know of any components or techniques to solve this problem? I would prefer to avoid jumping into Direct X since it will be used in a corporate environment.

I would like to control the Windows Sound Recorder from Access VBA code. I have found the sample code from the Microsoft website for the default recorder (see below), but I could not find a way to control the recording features from VBA.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
