trouble loading audio files with ess
Nov 1^st, 2005, 12:20am

Hi there, I'm using the file loading example in ESS, but I seem to be unable to load some files. Of four randomly chosen .aiff or .wav files, I can only get one to work.

I've stuck a zip of the sketch online with the offending sound files >

http://www.markallen.com/processing/sound_test-001.zip

any advice?

here's the code >

import krister.Ess.*;

Channel myChannel;

void setup() {
size(256,200);

// start up Ess
Ess.start(this);

// load "hello.aiff" into a new Channel
myChannel=new Channel();
myChannel.loadSound("thunder.aif");

// start the sound looping forever
myChannel.play(Ess.FOREVER);
}

void draw() {
}

// we are done, clean up Ess

public void stop() {
Ess.stop();
super.stop();
}

My project is currently blocked due to the fact that ESS doesn't seem to support medium size mp3 files.

It throws a java.outOfMemory exception at me when I try to play a mp3-song at about 3MB.

The Sonia sound library is not a good option since it requires a browser plugin.

Anyone got any ideas? My project depends on being able to play mp3 files of normal size.

The files that I were using were mono, 11025Hz. When I switched to using 16 bit stereo WAV files at 22050 KHz or better as suggested by JohnG in the thread above this one it worked. thanks! Mark

I am also having trouble with all files I try to load.

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: folder
at krister.Ess.Channel.loadSound(Channel.java:290)

im running processing 95 and 96 on Tiger....

Here is my code

// Example by Krister Olsson

import krister.Ess.*;

Channel myChannel;

void setup() {
size(256,200);

// start up Ess
Ess.start(this);

// load "hello.aiff" into a new Channel
myChannel=new Channel();
myChannel.loadSound("boo.aiff");

// start the sound looping forever
myChannel.play(Ess.FOREVER);
}

void draw() {
}

// we are done, clean up Ess

public void stop() {
Ess.stop();
super.stop();
}

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
