Ess does not load sound file!
Mar 13th, 2006, 11:45pm  
Hi,

I am using code from ess to load a sound into processing - http://www.tree-axis.com/Ess/Channel_loadSound_.html

I can not get it to work and I have tried the code on three different machines and all of them say the same thing - "Unable to load sound 'theSound.wav'"

I have also tried many different sound files ranging from mp3s to waves both mono and stereo and 44100 samples for the wave.

What am I missing? Does the sound file go somewhere else besides the project folder with the pde?

The wav file has to go in the data folder of the sketch you are working in.  Also, the filename has to be exact... do you have a file in your sketch\data directory called theSound.wav?  If not, you need to change that in your code to read the exact filename.  Does this help?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

That more then helped, it solved the problem.

How was I supposed to know that I was to create a folder called data and put my sound files in it. What am I missing?

Thanks,
