@svanya bit late with that one! Anyway, I got it sorted

@whale-av what i posted is all the 'File Info' it doesn't calculate the number of samples for you. Adobe is actually pretty basic. Audacity is worse.

that just gives me the file size, the number of samples is different. I know the 1.22739e+007 figure already, but thats not the number of samples. Thanks anyway

Hi

I'm using Granular Synthesis in an audio patch, Currently the patch isn't working but i know if i tweak it a bit it will. (if anyone has used this technique, please respond! Its basically just a combination of using tabread4~ and samphold~)

So its mainly not working cos you have to know the number of samples in the audio file and i don't know how i calculate that. My file is 4 mins 38.32 secs long., 16 bit, stereo, 44100Hz (wav)

Anyone know how to do this? also if anyone has a successfully working patch, please share!

Rachel

the above is actually one of my own patches - i didn't realise the comment i made in the file would actually bring up the real youtube link!

well if you save the pd file as a text file it comes up with a bunch of stuff that looks like

@whale-av Hi, I am a bit of an expert in Premiere Pro. I re-exported the movie at 960x540 size instead of 1920x1080 and adjusted the audio to 44100. I am currently uploading it to dropbox. Why AVI? an mp4 with those settings should work fine. I'll share the movie once it's uploaded, but am defo gonna hit the college labs tomorrow.

Goodnight!

Rach

p.s. Talking heads video? lol!

@whale-av i tried that last zip out a while ago and no joy either. I actually found a zip online of someone who claimed to have synced a video and sound, patch and all, and got very excited. The video ended WAY before the sound! Daniel someone.. its a pure data old spice thing .. google it. I joined a google plus pd community, checked out the websites of the people posting frequently and sent many emails. I think i've emailed everyone but santa claus asking for help now, lol! Ah well, gonna go in and use the college macs tomorrow, see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for all your help, i reallly do appreciate it!!
