It works in windows, I'll try the linux sfml library. Didn't even consider that being an issue. I'm not the sharpest board in the metal shop.

Is there a way to live sample mic ? Or do you have to record samples then analyze data from the recorded sample?

I tried to use this program to load the buffer and keep displaying it live, seems like the waveform does'nt match up though so I'm probably doing it wrong

  115.  
  116.     PUT #ch, , LeftChannel
  117.     PUT #ch, , RightChannel
  118.  

There are several ways to proceed: Do you want a program that allows you to move left - right to view the painted curve, or, a simpler program - to make a BMP output file that will have a resolution (for example) of 50000 * 600 and will contain the resulting curves?

Parkland,

When I do this code (running under 32-bit windows):

   Mic_Start 22000
   _DELAY 2
   Mic_End

I collect 33673 samples, my first 10515 samples are all zeros. samples 10516 through 44188 have data.

Every time I sample my hardware lags for around 10k samples when using the 22000 sample rate.

Do a simpler test of just running this codet:

   Mic_Start 22000
   _DELAY 5
   Mic_End
   Mic_Save ("test.raw") ' change .raw to a format you use on your platform.

just as a sanity check to see how much lag/(if any) you have before data begins to accumulate.

There is (well almost) but this library doesnt support it. I know that in SFML 2.5 you can get samples back whilst a mic is still recording and i think i remember every 100mili seconds or something. I'll have a look into it and see if i can put something together in the next day or so.

As for the rest of the questions...i got no idea i wrote the wrapper the best part of a decade ago and have never used it since, i look forward to seeing what you guys make with it...

Parkland,

This is the code I used to see the leading dead space, file "rec2sav.bas" attached.

Code just tells you amount of samples where about the empty buffer ends and the noise floor begins. Then the total samples.


Unseen, I love that you made this wrapper... as I only need to record samples and analyze data, this is a neat tool in my books!

I don't know how well this approach works, but it may do what I need. (see attached file)  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]

By chance does anyone have any idea / experience with what method is used to figure out frequencies?
Possibly similar to FFT?

I tried measuring every time the wave crosses 0, but that only works for the loudest frequency.
I tried measuring every peak and valley, but that only works for the smallest frequency.

Wondering what process would normally be employed if you want to know strengths of certain frequencies in the sound.

Crossing zero only works well with a single cycle style of waveform. 

I have been porting over some of my own code that I made in C for one of my "Teensy 4.0" microprocessor into QB64; however, it is far from being ready to share as is it implements the Laplace Transform.

QB64 user "_vince" made a real nice clean sample of a fast algorithm for computing the DFT for N=2^k in QB64. He also list a optimization for real only input FFT in the same thread, take a look at his post in this link:

Wow! very awesome.
Thanks everyone.

Also attached is the most recent version of what I glued together for live sampling
