HI  use BASSmix

Example
Add a channel to a mixer, delaying the start by 1 second and limiting the duration to 2 seconds.

QWORD start=BASS_ChannelSeconds2Bytes(mixer, 1); // delay
QWORD length=BASS_ChannelSeconds2Bytes(mixer, 2); // duration
BASS_Mixer_StreamAddChannelEx(mixer, channel, 0, start, length); // add the channel

Thanks - that worked a treat to delay start of track and play a length -
Is it possible to start part of the way through a track immediately ?  ie miss out first 2 secs

You can set track position with code too. This is part of my pascal class code:

procedure TBassSound.SetPosition(p: QWORD);
begin
  if loaded then
    BASS_ChannelSetPosition(channel, p, BASS_POS_BYTE);
end;

procedure TBassSound.SetTimePos(p: TTime);
begin
  SetPosition(BASS_ChannelSeconds2Bytes(channel, p*86400));
end;

.. where TTime is double type, and 1.0 is 1 full day.

Thanks, I have managed to 'massage' that into my VB code and appears to do exactly what I want - Many thanks
