Put a link in your comments to your audio visualizer! ============================================ This is the first of many programming challenges I will be releasing. There is no judging, no contest, nothing like that. It's just a few fun challenges for you to try out. I'll be doing them right along with you! :D The goal for this challenge is to make an audio visualizer. (If you don't know what that is, check out this wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_visualization) I've included some defualt music to get you started. ;) A few pointers to help you out: ======================= 1) The visualizer only has to work for one song. That means you can get really nitty-gritty about how it looks. However, if you can make it work for any song, that's even better! 2) Start with the data, figure out how to sense the big volume jumps, and then move on to the visuals. 3) Get creative! Don't make it look like all the other audio visualizers out there. Make it unique. Don't be afraid to try something new. 4) You may use any of the tools you have available to you. If Audacity would be helpful, use it! Heck, if you can find a way to write some python script to get the audio frequencies of the song or something ridiculously cool like that, go for it! 5) Most importantly, have fun! If you need to break a few rules here or there, that's fine. The whole point is to have fun and learn something new! ;)
Many thanks to @officialvexento for the default music. You may change the music, but the one that I put in here ("Particles") is a great one to use for a visualizer (lots of ups and downs in volumes). If you want, you can even have more than one song built into your visualizer, or have the ability to listen to any songs the user is playing (if you can get that to work somehow, though I'm not sure it's even possible...)
