Minim cannot find BufferedAudio

in Core Library Questions • 6 months ago

I'm trying to load the samples from an audio recording into a float array, using the method suggested from the Minim library. However, I'm getting the error "Cannot find anything named 'BufferedAudio'".

Argh! Any suggestions?

import ddf.minim.*;
String filename = "jingle.mp3";
AudioSample song;
Minim minim;
float[] samples;
void setup() {
minim = new Minim(this);
song = minim.loadSample(filename);
samples = song.getChannel(BufferedAudio.LEFT);
}

You might need to explicitly import BufferedAudio

import ddf.minim.BufferedAudio;

import static ddf.minim.BufferedAudio;

Then you could just use song.getChannel(LEFT))

although some people frown on this.

Thanks monkstone! Unfortunately, it gives me essentially the same error:

The package "ddf.minim.BufferedAudio" does not exist...

Maybe this is a bug with the included Minim library (I'm running 2.0b8)? Would you mind testing my code above and see if it works for you?

The import with * should have referenced the class as well.
Perhaps you are using the API of the new Minim library, not the one shipped with Processing.

Thanks PhiLho, I thought maybe I was importing an older version previously installed (before it was included as a core library) but it is not installed in my library folder - is that what you mean?

EDIT: or do you mean install the version from the minim site ( http://code.compartmental.net/tools/minim) - if so, how can I install a library of the same name as a core library? Replace it in the application package?

EDIT AGAIN: ok, so I think I'm sleepy and not reading clearly - I installed the latest version of the library in the Processing app, like the minim site suggests:

"Find your Processing.app and right click, choose “Show Package Contents”. Then dig down to Contents/Resources/Java/modes/java/libraries and delete the minim folder in there."

I guess I thought that the latest version of Processing would include the latest version of the library! Oops!

The above code now works great, loads samples into an array with no modifications.
