Hi

Sorry for my english

I need to convert an audio file to a text file (each number inside this text represent the level of audio file). And after to reconvert the text file to an audio file.

I think Pure Data is the good soft to do that (what do you think?).
How can i do that? Is there already a patche doing that, i can download to understand how to do?

Thank you very much

Baptiste

Welcome to the forum baptiste, and no need to worry about your english.

I've attached a patch that will do this. The file will be generated where you have saved the patch. What happens is that the audiofile is read into the table first. Next all float values are written to the textfile.

Hope this helps.

hi

thank you very much.
because i am a newbie i discover everything.
I ask to myself how works the text boxe "reads -resize $1 mysound". What is this sort of command? Same question about the text boxe ";mysound write sound.txt".

I need to reconvert this text in an audio too, do you how can i do that?

Thank you

Baptiste

The [read -resize $1 mysound( should is actually what pd calls a message. You can send all kind of messages to all objects to do things. In this case it is a message sent to the [soundfiler] object and contains instructions for that object. It is interpretted as follows :

read : tells the soundfiler to... read a soundfile (there's also a write)
-resize : this flag tells the soundfiler to resize the table it will read the file into
$1 : this is a parameter from the message and is actually replaced by the output of the [openpanel] object => it will contain the full path of your selected file
mySound : this is the final parameter and is the name of the table

The [;mySound write sound.txt( is a kind of special message you can perform on tables. It just instructs the table to write its contents to a specified file.

Remember that you can almost always right click an object to request its help file and further I can recommend you to read the patches from the help browser (2.control.examples/15.array.pd and 16.more.arrays.pd will show you what's possible with tables).

Enjoy it,

cool
that is exactly that i need

thank you
