hey. so, basically i'm trying to do this:

1. play a wma stream
2. if chosen, record it to disk ( using flac.exe and the example from bass.net about encoders )
3. have a volume control on 1.
4. volume control doesn't affect the recorded data

right now everything works fine except for 4.

and it currently works like this:

1. play
2. press a button to record, and then this code is executed

        public void Record(string filename)
        {
            flacrec = new EncoderFLAC(_Stream);
            flacrec.InputFile = null;
            flacrec.OutputFile = filename;
            flacrec.FLAC_CompressionLevel = 8;

            flacrec.Start(null, IntPtr.Zero, false);
        }

where _Stream is my playing stream handle.
but then if i adjust the volume with DSP_Gain on the playing stream, that's the way it gets recorded, with lower volume.

so my question would be, how do i clone a stream without cloning the dsp that's set on it.
or something like that..

i checked the samples and bass.net help. tried with BASS_StreamCreatePush(), but either i don't get it or it's not suitable for me.

or maybe there's another method of making software volume mixer, not using dsps?

Internally, the sending of sample data to the encoder is implemented via a DSP callback on the channel. That means when you play the channel (or call BASS_ChannelGetData if it's a decoding channel), the sample data will be sent to the encoder at the same time.
By default, the encoder DSP has a priority setting of -1000, which determines where in the DSP chain the encoding is performed. That can be changed via the BASS_CONFIG_ENCODE_PRIORITY config option.

So I don't know what priority you are using with your volume control?
If that priority is greater than -1000, e.g. 0 - then this volume DSP will be applied before the encoder DSP.
So set the priority of the volume DSP to a value smaller than -1000, e.g. -1001.

oh wow. cool. worked like a charm. thanks for the simple solution
