Hi,
I want to code something weird again and maybe some of you can help me to save a lot of time again. First: I am a musician, but I have no idea about audio programming. I messed more with the graphics side of coding as some of you may know.

What do I want to do? I want an application that:

- takes a mp3 or wav file for input
- analizes the soundspectrum of the file on a regular basis
- writes the volume values of selected frequency bands to a textfile

I have really not the slightest idea where to start. Ok, I started: The GUI is ready

I found a sample program with sample code somewhere on the web. But that thing monitors what is playing on the computers soundcard instead of giving the possibility to analize a soundfile.

For the curious ones: I need that frequency data for a animation project in 3D where objects will be controlled by the frequency spectrum of the soundtrack.

So I hope I could describe in an understandable manner what I want to accomplish. And I also hope some of you can push me in a direction where to read.

Thanks

Sonny
