What language/API to use for a standalone live-input audio visualizer app?
- by knuckfubuck
I develop with Actionscript and was glad to see that AIR 2.0 was going to give access to mic input data. I planned to use this to create a visualizer set to the tempo of the incoming live audio. After doing a few days of google research it seems unlikely that it will be possible to analyze the data of the mic input in Flash/AIR. If anyone has ideas on how I can achieve this in AIR please let me know. (I'm open to workarounds.)
That being said, I don't want to give up on the idea so I'm interested in suggestions for other language/API to use. My requirements for the app are:
Run on OSX
Two windows - one that can go fullscreen while the other(controller GUI) stays put
Able to access live mic input data
I've done reading on FFT and understand what needs to be done on the sound side so no need to help with that.
