Re: VU meter
Scott, I downloaded both the released version and the beta version of the Enhanced QuickTime external, put the DLL into the Rev app folder, and tried to run your VU stack. It reports, can't find Handler: qtInitialize no matter whether I use the released of beta version of the external. Is there something I am missing, or perhaps it's not compatible with QuickTime 7?

Hi Bill: No I think the problem is simply an omission on my part -- I neglected to consider cross-platform reference to the DLL. You're on Windows yes? I just updated the externals reference on the demo stack. Quit the demo if you have it open and relaunch it. This should correct the problem, but if it doesn't, let me know and we'll work it out. Thanks for catching this.

Re: VU meter
Yay! That worked. (Yes, I am on Windows.) Note: One must choose the beta version of the Enhanced QT external. Very nice effect.

Re: VU meter
I had the same problem (Mac OS 10.4), with v0.6 of the external, downloaded v1.0 beta and all was good. BTW, I installed it as a plug- in, as Trevor suggests in the docs... The VU style meters look great, though if you need them to behave like 'real' VUs, you may need to make some changes http://www.shure.com/support/technotes/app-meter.html Cheers, Mark On 8 Dec 2005, at 01:12, liamlambert wrote: Scott I am on mac LIam liamlambert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

If you mean changes in terms of averaging then yes, these meters are really more like PPM (according to the article you cite). The script simply grabs the levels provided by QT every so many milliseconds and resizes a graphic to fit a designated scale. I don't think it would be hard to average the numbers over a period of time but I'll leave that exercise up those who are interested. :-) Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia Design - E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.tactilemedia.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: VU meter
Well I dunno about PPM or VU yet, but the first thing I did to the stack was setRetro tChannel,tValue instead of passing N, as N is a value 1 to 10 and set startAngle of grc (needle tChannel) to 100-(N*100/255)+39 in order to give the analog meters a cooler look :) nice stuff.

Recently, Bill Marriott wrote: Ok Scott -- next, how do we read the ID3 tags from an MP3? :) Wish I could tell you. I've asked this on the list before and some folks have offered suggestions, but none of them has proven reliable (apparently the location of the tags can vary within the file). I gave up on tags for now and use the filename instead. You can see an example here in a two channel player/mixer toy: go url http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/happymixer.rev; Reminder: QT and EnhancedQT external are needed to run this stack (also, any recent version of Rev that supports deep masks).

Re: VU meter
Recently, liamlambert wrote: I would like to add a VU METER to the project. Meters which monitor audio levels are typically one of two varieties: VU (Volume Unit) or PPM (Peak Program Meters). Though both perform the same function, they accomplish the function in very different manners. A VU meter displays the average volume level of an audio signal. A PPM displays the peak volume level of an audio signal. Analogy: The average height of the Himalayan Mountains is 18,000 feet (VU), but Mt. Everest's peak is 29,000+ feet Has anyone got any idea how to go about this is this possible. Hi Liam: I know one way to do audio meters which requires the use of a player object and Trevor DeVore's Enhanced QuickTime external. If I remember correctly it may only provide 100 units of granularity but measures left and right channels separately. If you think this would work for you, I can try to put a sample together, but otherwise, you may need to look for someone to build an external.
