Trying to use AHK to record mic including system sounds, anyone know how to do that? (I know about audacity and other programs, would like help with ahk if possible)

You can use bass.dll from http://www.un4seen.com/ (on win10 you can use its wasapi functions).

I am using windows 10, what do I have to use exactly? And does it supporting getting system sound or just mic?

You have to download the zip file from www.un4seen.com : https://www.un4seen.com/download.php?bass24 and https://www.un4seen.com/download.php?basswasapi24
For sound the only way i can think of is to intercept the loudspeaker using the loopback in wasapi settings , you will find examples in the helpfile included in the zip and code examples for some languages like vb and delphi.
It is no use if you are not familiar with writing ahk code ! I found it complicated and the wrapper does not cover the wasapi functions so you have to write the dll calls .

https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=34352 is a great help for the recording part .

Anyone has done this before?
