Editor's review
This software component lets you add audio recording features into an application being developed.
Audio capture features can be added to applications through this component easily and quickly with this component. This component will allow you to capture audio through the audio input pin. Thus you are able to integrate audio capture through devices like line In, Microphone, Stereo Mix, Mono Mix, Aux, Video, CD Audio, Phone Line etc. You would be able to capture online streaming audio, radio, audio players such as Media Player, WinAmp, Real Player etc. The interface that is created with this component can be customized. The parameters that you can customize include the display waveform of the audio being recorded on two channels, background color, left/right channel`s waveform color, offset, divisor of waveform etc. You could create display floating popup waveform window or child style of waveform window. The audio capture could be in WAVE, WMA, MP3 file format.
Volume level control and pitch control are features available with this component. Usual recorder controls like, start, pause, resume etc. comes with the application. The component can be easily integrated with programs in c# 2005, VB.Net, VFP, VB, VC, Delphi etc. that support ActiveX technology. Adobe Director, Access, Visual Foxpro, Delphi, .Net, etc. also are supported. There are a range of examples included to make your efforts to integrate the component. The interface presented by the integrated application presents a range of settings that decide the level of quality, recording formats, device selection etc. The elaborate settings through the interface might look a little bit too elaborate, when most such audio recorders come with quite compact interfaces. Other than that, this is quite a useful component.
