The documentation can also be viewed online at the BASS website. What's the point? ================= BASS is an audio library for use in software on several platforms. Its purpose is to provide the powerful and efficient sample, stream, MOD music, and recording functions. All in a compact DLL that won't overly bloat your software. See the documentation for descriptions of all the BASS functions. Also check the included example source-codes for some examples of how to use BASS in your own programs. Requirements ============ Win32 version ------------BASS requires DirectX for playback/recording, but decoding is still possible without it. DirectX has been included with all Windows versions since Windows 98. 32-bit and 64-bit Windows are supported. MacOSX version -------------BASS uses CoreAudio for playback/recording, so there are no special library/driver requirements. 32-bit (i386 & ppc) and 64-bit (x86_64) architectures are supported in a single universal library. OSX 10.4 or

above is recommended. Linux version ------------BASS requires ALSA for playback/recording, but decoding is still possible without it. 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (x86-64) architectures are supported. Main Features ============= * Samples supports WAV/AIFF/MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG and custom generated samples * Sample streams stream any sample data in 8/16/32 bit, with both "push" and "pull" systems * File streams MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG/WAV/AIFF file streaming * Internet file streaming stream files from the internet, including Shout/Icecast * User file streaming stream files from anywhere using any delivery method * OS codecs ACM, Media Foundation and CoreAudio codec support for additional audio formats * Multi-channel streaming support for more than plain stereo, including multi-channel OGG/WAV/AIFF files * MOD music uses the same engine as XMPlay = best accuracy, speed, and quality * MO3 music MP3/OGG compressed MOD music * Add-on system support for more formats is available via add-ons (aka plugins) * Multiple outputs simultaneously use multiple soundcards, and move channels between them * Recording flexible recording system, with support for multiple devices * Decode without playback streams and MOD musics can be outputted in any way you want * Speaker assignment assign streams and MOD musics to specific speakers * High precision synchronization synchronize events in your software to the streams and MOD musics * Effects chorus/compressor/distortion/echo/flanger/gargle/parameq/reverb * User defined DSP functions custom effects may be applied to musics and streams

* 32 bit floating-point decoding and processing floating-point stream/music decoding, DSP/FX, and recording * 3D sound play samples/streams/musics in any 3D position Using BASS ========== There is no guarantee that all future BASS versions will be compatible with all previous versions, so your program should use BASS_GetVersion to check the version that is loaded. This also means that you should put the BASS module in the same directory as your executable (not just somewhere in the path), to avoid the possibility of a wrong version being loaded. If you are updating your software from a previous BASS version, then you should check the "History" section (below), to see if any of the functions that you are using have been affected by a change. Win32 version ------------C/C++, Visual Basic, Delphi and MASM APIs and example projects are provided. To use BASS with another language you will first have to convert the header file. Or, as a last resort, you could use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress. The downside is that you have to manually import each function that you use, with the GetProcAddress function. But it has been made a lot simpler to import BASS this way by the use of the BASSDEF #define. Here's a small example: #define BASSDEF(f) (WINAPI *f) // define the functions as pointers #include "bass.h" ... HINSTANCE bass=LoadLibrary("BASS.DLL"); // load BASS BASS_Init=GetProcAddress(bass,"BASS_Init"); // get BASS_Init BASS_Init(-1,44100,0,hWnd,NULL); // call BASS_Init To use BASS with Borland C++ Builder, you will first have to create a Borland C++ Builder import library for it. This is done by using the IMPLIB tool that comes with Borland C++ Builder. Simply execute this: IMPLIB BASSBCB.LIB BASS.DLL ... and then use BASSBCB.LIB in your projects to import BASS. To use BASS with LCC-Win32, you will first have to create a compatible import library for it. This is done by using the PEDUMP and BUILDLIB tools that come with LCC-Win32. Run these 2 commands: PEDUMP /EXP BASS.LIB > BASSLCC.EXP BUILDLIB BASSLCC.EXP BASSLCC.LIB ... and then use BASSLCC.LIB in your projects to import BASS. For the BASS functions that return strings (char*), VB users should use the VBStrFromAnsiPtr function to convert the returned pointer into a VB string.

MacOSX version -------------See the example Xcode project and makefiles. NOTE: The LIBBASS.DYLIB file must be put in the same directory as the executable, it can't just be somewhere in the path. LIBBASS.DYLIB is a universal binary, with support for the ppc, i386, and x86_64 architectures. If not all of those architectures are needed, the included makefile can be used extract the wanted ones. It will also process any BASS add-ons placed in the same directory. Type "make ppc", "make i386" or "make x86_64" to extract a particular architecture. "make intel" can be used to extract the i386 and x86_64 architectures together. NOTE: Apple's App Store does not support the ppc architecture, so that will need to be removed from the BASS binary before submitting apps. Linux version ------------The LIBBASS.SO file needs to be in the OS's library search path for it to be found; simply placing it in the same directory as the executable won't necessarily work as it does on other platforms. The BASS libraries should also not be placed in the standard library directories to avoid version conflicts. To meet those competing requirements, a wrapper script could be used to set the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable before loading the executable. Another option is to set the "rpath" in the executable, to tell it where to look for libraries. That is what the example makefiles do. When building both 32-bit and 64-bit executables, it is possible to simply try linking with both LIBBASS.SO versions, and the linker will use the appropriate version and ignore the other. Latest Version ============== The latest version of BASS can always be found at the BASS website: www.un4seen.com Licence ======= BASS is free for non-commercial use. If you are a non-commercial entity (eg. an individual) and you are not making any money from your product (through sales/advertising/etc), then you can use BASS in it for free. If you wish to use BASS in commercial products, then please also see the next section. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BASS IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE AUTHORS SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF BASS. YOU USE BASS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. Usage of BASS indicates that you agree to the above conditions. All trademarks and other registered names contained in the BASS package are the property of their respective owners.

Commercial licensing -------------------BASS is available for use in your commercial products. The licence types available are as follows: SHAREWARE: Allows the usage of BASS in an unlimited number of your shareware ("try before you buy") products, which must sell for no more than 40 Euros each. Non-shareware products are also permitted, but the product price limit is 10 Euros in that case. The price limit can be raised by purchasing duplicate licences, eg. 2 licences doubles it. If you are an individual (not a corporation) making and selling your own software, this is the licence for you. SINGLE COMMERCIAL: Allows the usage of BASS in one commercial product. UNLIMITED COMMERCIAL: Allows the usage of BASS in an unlimited number of your commercial products. This licence is on a per-site basis, eg. if you are creating products with BASS at 2 sites/locations, then 2 licences are required. Please note the products must be end-user products, eg. not components used by other products. These licences only cover your own software, not the publishing of other's software. If you publish other's software, its developers (or the software itself) will need to be licensed to use BASS. These licences are on a per-platform basis, with reductions available when licensing for multiple platforms. In all cases there are no royalties to pay, and you can use future BASS updates without further cost. These licences do not allow reselling/sublicensing of BASS. For example, if a product is a development system, the users of said product are not licensed to use BASS in their productions; they will need their own licences. If the standard licences do not meet your requirements, or if you have any questions, please get in touch (email: bass@un4seen.com). Visit the BASS website for the latest pricing: www.un4seen.com MP3 --MP3 technology is patented, and Thomson license the use of their and Fraunhofer's patents. The inclusion of an MP3 decoder (eg. BASS) in a commercial product requires an MP3 patent licence. Contact Thomson for details: www.mp3licensing.com Alternatively, the "MP3-FREE" BASS version does not include its own MP3 decoder but instead makes use of the operating system's already licensed decoder. If an MP3 decoder is not available, then MP3 playback will not be possible, but everything else will function as normal. NOTE: When using the OS's MP3 decoder, BASS still does the file handling so all the usual features are still supported, including streaming, tag reading, pre-scanning, gapless playback, etc.

NOTE: Linux does not include an MP3 decoder as standard. The "MP3-FREE" BASS version will make use of the libmpg123 decoder, if installed. History ======= These are the major (and not so major) changes at each version stage. There are of course bug fixes and other little improvements made along the way too! To make upgrading simpler, all functions affected by a change to the BASS interface are listed. 2.4.10 - 16/2/2013 -----------------* Asynchronous file reading/buffering BASS_ASYNCFILE (BASS_StreamCreateFile/User flag) BASS_CONFIG_ASYNCFILE_BUFFER (BASS_SetConfig option) * Support for chained OGG files (multiple logical bitstreams) BASS_StreamCreateFile/User BASS_CONFIG_OGG_PRESCAN (BASS_SetConfig option) BASS_POS_OGG (BASS_ChannelSetPosition/ChannelGetLength mode) * OGG logical bitstream syncs are no longer automatically "mixtime" BASS_SYNC_OGG_CHANGE (BASS_ChannelSetSync type) * Support for Soundtracker MOD files BASS_MusicLoad * Complex FFT data BASS_DATA_FFT_COMPLEX (BASS_ChannelGetData flag) * Volume levels above 1.0 for decoding channels BASS_ATTRIB_VOL (BASS_ChannelSetAttribute option) * Recording device channel count retrieval on Windows/OSX/iOS BASS_RECORDINFO (formats member) * Minimum recording period reduced to 5ms BASS_RecordStart * Recording device period adjustment on OSX BASS_RecordStart * Device UID retrieval on OSX BASS_DEVICEINFO (driver member) * The desktop window handle is used when none is provided BASS_Init 2.4.9 - 3/5/2012 ---------------* Improved and adjustable sample rate conversion quality BASS_ATTRIB_SRC (BASS_ChannelSetAttribute option) BASS_CONFIG_SRC/_SAMPLE (BASS_SetConfig options) * Support for buffered file & internet streams with CoreAudio codecs on OSX/iOS BASS_StreamCreateURL BASS_StreamCreateUser * Data and level retrieval from sample channels BASS_ChannelGetData BASS_ChannelGetLevel * Oldest sample channel will be overridden when there are multiple candidates BASS_SampleGetChannel * Use of the device's output rate with MODs BASS_MusicLoad * Optional device output rate setting on OSX/iOS BASS_DEVICE_FREQ (BASS_Init flag) * UTF-8 device information on Windows BASS_CONFIG_UNICODE (BASS_SetConfig option) * Speaker assignment with panning/balance control on Windows Vista/7
