I'm trying to create a long piece of audio which is a collection of recorded audio clips that are, in time, merged into one large collage of sounds. I am using the Minim sound library, but at the moment I'm having a hard time getting this to work. This works exactly the same as  My programming skills are fairly basic but I was thinking this would be a very easy task! I :ant it to work just exactly as the 'RecordAndPlayback' in the examples folder of Minim but to have the events triggered by clicks done autonamously.

Here's the code I have so far:

1. import ddf.minim.*;
2. Minim minim;
3. AudioInput in;
4. AudioRecorder recorder;
5. AudioPlayer player;
6. Timer timer;
7. class Timer {
8.  
9.   int savedTime; // When Timer started
10.   int totalTime; // How long Timer should last
11.  
12.   Timer(int tempTotalTime) {
13.     totalTime = tempTotalTime;
14.   }
15.  
16.   // Starting the timer
17.   void start() {
18.     // When the timer starts it stores the current time in milliseconds.
19.     savedTime = millis();
20.   }
21.  
22.   // The function isFinished() returns true if 5,000 ms have passed.
23.   // The work of the timer is farmed out to this method.
24.   boolean isFinished() {
25.     // Check how much time has passed
26.     int passedTime = millis()- savedTime;
27.     if (passedTime > totalTime) {
28.       return true;
29.     } else {
30.       return false;
31.     }
32.   }
33. }
34. void setup()
35. {
36.   size(512, 200, P3D);
37.   textMode(SCREEN); 
38.   minim = new Minim(this);
39.   timer = new Timer(5000);
40.   timer.start();
41.   in = minim.getLineIn(Minim.STEREO, 2048);
42.   recorder = minim.createRecorder(in, "myrecording.wav", true);
43.  
44.   textFont(createFont("Arial", 12));
45. }
46. void draw()
47. {
48.   background(0);
49.   player =  minim.loadFile("myrecording.wav");
50.   player.play();
51.   player.loop();
52. //GUI
53.   stroke(255);
54.   for(int i = 0; i < in.left.size()-1; i++)
55.   {
56.     line(i, 50 + in.left.get(i)*50, i+1, 50 + in.left.get(i+1)*50);
57.     line(i, 150 + in.right.get(i)*50, i+1, 150 + in.right.get(i+1)*50);
58.   }
59.   //-- end of GUI
60. //recorder switching
61.   if (timer.isFinished())
62.   {
63.     text("not..", 5, 15);
64.     if(recorder.isRecording() == true){
65.      recorder.endRecord();
66.      recorder.save();
67.      timer.start();
68.     }
69.   }else
70.   {
71.     text("recording...", 5, 15);
72.     recorder.beginRecord();
73.    println(recorder.isRecording());
74.   }
75.   ///--- end recorder switching
76.   
77. }
78. void stop()
79. {
80.   // always close Minim audio classes when you are done with them
81.   in.close();
82.   if ( player != null )
83.   {
84.     player.close();
85.   }
86.   minim.stop();
87.  
88.   super.stop();
89. }

Please any help would be much welcomed as this is driving me mad!

Thanks

Hi,

I'm new to processing with a small bit of programming history. I'm really looking into how to achieve this kind of effect:

Sort of like lava/liquid or any kind of globulus fluid. Can anyone point to any resource they know that could send me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Dan

EDIT:

After further research I've come across this:

If anyone could simply tell me the name or the process of this type of interaction (I've searched for Node Garden etc) or could point me in the direction for a tutorial to achieve such a thing I would be most grateful!
