Ess AudioChannel error: can't open files
Jul 5th, 2008, 10:16pm  
Sorry if this is an FAQ somewhere.

I am an experienced programmer, but I'm just getting starting with Processing and ESS, and am trying to play with the "analysis" sample program from the ESS distribution by loading my own file.

No matter what file I try to open with the AudioChannel constructor, Processing displays the error message "Unable to load sound...".  The audio file is 16-bit, mono, 44.1 kHz sample rate and is in the same directory as the .sde file.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  Is there any way to get a more informative error message from ESS (as in, does it not find the file, or the file is unable to be read, etc.).

Did u put your music file in a folder named data in your scketch folder? (If that folder doesn't exist, create it)

I'm having basically the same problem.

Whenever I try to load my music files (aiff or wav) into the sketch--which effectively puts them in the data folder--Processing says it cannot load them.

However, I have no trouble loading the sample aiffs that the Processing documentation (all the example sketches and whatnot) includes, even though I do that by the same process.

Like DaveSeidel says, all my stuff is 16-bit, mono, 44.1 kHz, etc. etc. Any ideas?
