 =====Capturing audio using MCI=====
-//by Richard Russell, October 2010//\\ \\  The article [[/Inputting%20real-time%20audio|Inputting real-time audio]] describes how to input audio data and make it available to your program for display, analysis or capture. If you simply need to record audio to a WAV file you can use that technique, but a much easier method is to use the capture facilities built into the Windows **Media Control Interface** (MCI).\\ \\  The potential disadvantage of this method is that MCI is an old technology and it's not clear to what extent it will continue to be supported. For example in some versions of the Platform SDK Documentation the **mciSendString** function is bluntly stated to be "Not supported in 64-bit versions" although that remark has been removed from the current MSDN [[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd757161.aspx|article]].\\ \\  The code below illustrates how to capture audio data to a file:\\
