Cool Program to turn sound into images and back again
- SwellJoe 18y agoI had a program like this on my Amiga, but it worked in realtime--in addition to being able to do fourier analysis on songs or generate from imported images, you could draw/erase on the canvas as it processed. It ruled. I had hours and hours of fun with it, and added it (subtly) to almost every recording I made at the time. I've been meaning to make a tool like that for Linux ever since...but somehow never got around to it. Unfortunately this program doesn't fill the void, either, since it seems to have no realtime drawing mode. The good news is that systems are so fast now that I could do it in Ruby or Perl and it would still be plenty fast (the Amiga version was in something odd like Pascal or Fortran or Forth or something, and had some limitations on first-gen 8MHz Amigas...it spun nicely on my 25MHz Amiga 3000, though).
