Marmalade Multimedia announces the release of FlashAmp 3 for Windows and Macintosh. FlashAmp is the sound-visualization utility for Macromedia Flash 8 and MX2004. Use FlashAmp 3 to create perfectly synchronized audio animations and visualizations based on sound frequencies and amplitude, and easily lip sync character animations in Flash.
FlashAmp 3 is available now, with new features including a Preview window with animated spectrum and waveform displays, and new spectrum and amplitude functions to give you more control over the audio data that you can use in Flash.
Thanks MTsoul. And, yes, the post could be regarded as self promotion but it’s a fair bet that readers of this forum may be interested and we need to spread the word.
And we’re always interested in seeing stuff that people have done with FlashAmp, so if you’d like to share then let us know.
I like flashamp, purchased it a long time ago for a client, but this can now be done realtime with AS3 and when that goes full public release flashamp is dead in the water, check out Andre’s example (you need player 8.5) http://blog.andre-michelle.com/2006/soundmixercomputespectrum/
I would guess the language that flash amp is made with allows you to compute a spectrum analysis of the sound, that in turn is made into an array that flash can read.
The technique with as3 is similar, compute a spectrum, put it in a byte array and itterate through that array to create a visual, as3 will be more gangster than al capone, ive also an example of the bytearray/compute spectrum method at (super tacky compared to AM’s example tho) http://www.ramieb.com/sound/index.swf (player 8.5)
