LÖVE

Hello expert LÖVE users!

I have been working on a music player lately, and now I finally can wrap my head around the love.update/love.draw calls, I started working on it. I wrote up some libraries for later use. Also note that I have in my main.lua just some testing, this is 99.9% away from the finalized project.

But to get to my question, I was wondering if you could get so-called "sound-points" from the song. I was looking through the love.audio and love.sound but couldnt find anything that fits my needs. So to explain those so called "sound-points", those are those point where you can make a graph of what is happening with the music. So if a high sound, that will go up, and when it is hard and low, for example down. The main goal for me is to make a graph according to the song, not some hardcoded songs.

Im hoping I explained this well enough, please ask questions if you dont understand it!

Thanks for reading.

You mean the frequency histogram, ok.

You can't get this witl LÖVE, since that would require to perform fourier transform on streaming samples in real-time, and LÖVE isn't exactly up to the task. Best luck is getting low precision ultra-slow histogram.

Too bad.. :/
Though I think there should be an option for it in the future, but that is not up to me. That is up for the people who can code in C++ and are interested in this.

Oh well, then that saves me some time on the music player. Thanks for your reply!

I don't think LÖVE would ever gonna have that. Building sound histograms is a job for anything but game engine/library.

LuaFFT looks promising.

Now on that we are on the topic of music, is there a way to get the length of a track?

With a quick google search I found this viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10011

LuaFTT running in a seperate thread can do the trick, I've done that before for an experiment. But the game engine isn't really suited to it, it'll chew up a lot of resources.

Thanks for every reply. I guess its just not going to happen.

But still in the mood of the music player, I stumped across this annoying error:


Im pretty sure I opened the file, but I did something wrong I do not see...
Help is really appreciated
