Re: [Flashcoders] OT - bizarre Adobe pricing

I've given up on trying to figure out Adobe pricing. The last time I queried the ridiculous difference between US and UK prices the quotes I had were: - It costs more to keep UK support staff: Well, I'm sorry about that, but I never use your UK support staff - besides, I give other people support

I'd suggest you first get down in audio math and algorithms and indeed FFT. If you're done with that... choose whatever language you like and preferably a faster one then AS3. But it is not impossible to answer your question. johnny lee wrote: Hi All, how do you compare two audio files with

- We charge what the market will bear: Which sounds like the real answer, but does not make me happy. Still, sending a developer over to the US to buy copies in a shop there - because the cost of the flight is much cheaper than the software - would make the developer happy. This is pretty

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't monopolys illegal? I think I remember reading that in my history books somewhere. :\ Karl Sent from losPhone On Aug 9, 2009, at 4:48 PM, Kerry Thompson al...@cyberiantiger.biz wrote: Dave Watts wrote: This is pretty much the entire answer.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to compare two audio files with actionscript?

Thanks Latcho, can you please describe the process a little bit. What actually is going on? How is the FFT used to compare the wav files? Is it comparing header data or something? And what about MP3 files, can they be used instead of wav? Thanks, juju P.S. Has to be AS3, trying to make a Flash

Re: [Flashcoders] How to compare two audio files with ActionScript?

Thanks Kerry, I'm still not understanding the process. What actually needs to take place in order to compare two audio files? How does FFT come into this? Thanks, juju On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 5:39 AM, Kerry Thompson al...@cyberiantiger.bizwrote: Latcho wrote: I'd suggest you first get down
