I think I finally got the hang of the equalizer thing...

... I randomly fell asleep for 2 hours!

[Soul]

Cool, are you gonna use the bars as the equaliser then? :)

I'm gonna go and post a thread here with my designs for others to see now too...

:beam:

yeah, I'm going to use bars for the time being... I'm not going to have time to do anything fancy.. bars will only be temporary... eventually I want people to have the choice of equalizers..

[Soul]

Cool :)

So whats happening on tomorrows show? You just gonna use the old design, and the use the new one next week?

My post is posted :)

no, I want to have the new design by tomorrow...

One of the things I'm finding out right now is that I cannot use Flash's compression to make my files smaller

Here's how I was doing it: I was just adding MP3s (which I had already reduced to 56K Monochannel, 11 Hz) to the library. I would have 2 Meg mp3s, and the total would be about 20 Megs....

.. after I stuck them in Flash and exported the swf, Flash would compress the files further, reducing the total file size to 5 megs

However, I'm using Swift-MP3... and it doesnt do further compression, like doing it in flash would. So I'm ending up with 2 meg files that I wont be able to reduce..

And I'm left wondering how this is going to affect speed...

so that's what I'm stuck now... I need a breather, and I'm going to work on the design... but I need your files!
thanks for helping me out.

Hey they're sent long ago :P

( 5 mins ago really :beam: )

Why don't you do the same as the last show? That loaded instantly!

I cant do equalizer bars then..

[Soul]

Why? *confused*

[lava]

because flash can't process sound... basically, what Swifth Mp3 does is read the waveform information from the MP3, then writes variables, frame by frame, into a swf.

when you do an equalizer, you read these variables, and fix the size of bars to a corresponding size..
