Hello everyone. I'm writing a game for iphone, and without background music it runs smoothly at 30 fps. But if I add music (using AudioQueues or AVAudioPlayer, both give similar effect), framerate periodically drops to 10 (about once per second), and then returns to 30. Music is mp3@128kps, 44kHz. It degrades performance not constantly, ...
My goal is to be able to get all of the WMC pc's in my house playing the same music playlist at the same time. If I can't do it with the WMC software, I will bypass that and do something with WinAmp and a Shoutcast server running on one of them (or something, haven't gotten that far yet). I see that the new Windows 7 Media Center has a ...
My office is thinking of setting up a media server with speakers connected to it so that everyone in our office can queue up music via a web app. Right now we just pass around a speaker cable. Does anyone know of a Linux web app we could install or some third-party web service that would allow anyone with access to the site/account to q...
Hello I'd like to write a script that arranges my music folder to sub folders. Is there an existing script that already does that? How will you write your own? What language will you choose? ...
I did some of my own research and found out that SID-chips had only few hardware supported synthesizing features. Including three audio oscillators with four possible waveforms (sawtooth, triangle, pulse, noise), with ADSR audio controls and ring modulators. Accompanied with oscillator sync and ring modulators. Also read there was a way ...

Hi, I'm wondering if there are any .NET libraries (ideally open-source) that deal with guitar chords (e.g. given either a chord or a set of fret/string combinations it can retrieve the corresponding fret/string combination or chord respectively). I'm having some trouble searching because "C#" is a note and there is a concept of "progra...
I am fairly new to OSX development, so this may be easy but google has not been helpful. I am trying to bind an action to the media keys you find on newer Apple keyboards (Play, Pause , etc). It appears that you cannot bind to these keys using the regular hotkey API but it must be possible since iTunes clearly manages. Is there some tr...

Any ideas or working solutions for achieving polyphonic audio in Silverlight? It is possible to play individual notes using sound files (e.g. wmv), but holding samples of every combination of the 3, 4, 5 or more note combinations in a chord based on any one of twelve root notes is unworkable. In WinForms I can use APIs to access the sou...
It seems to me as if there are a higher proportion of musicians in the programming field than in the general public. Maybe it's just an illusion caused by the fact that I'm an amateur guitarist myself, so I tend to notice coding musicians (or musical coders?) more. But I wonder if there really is some connection. Perhaps a shared set ...
I'm interested in automatic music making. I was thinking about a program that is fed a large number of 1-bar arpeggios (= fixed length sequences of notes, for simplicity) and generates its own sequences, based on what it learnt. To start with, I know I could use letter (digram? trigram?) frequency analysis, only applied to note pitches,...
What is the best way to read a MIDI file (chronologically) with multiple tracks? (Java) Note: I don't want to play the MIDI file, just read the messages. Couple ideas: Is it safe to assume there are no note events shorter than the 1/64th note? Or should I visit every track and only move to the next tick after all other ticks tracks ...
Hi, I'm new to the audio world, and I've been assigned a task I'm not sure how to deal with. I need to display a graph representing the pitch of a WAV file. The WAV file can be polyphonic, and then I need to display the pitch graph of the dominant (read: with the strongest volume) instrument (or human voice singing). I'm quite familiar ...
I am writing a music player for the sake of learning. I am not sure how to design the database part of it (I want to create it myself, not use some version of MySQL). My best idea so far is to create a "song" class, with filename, title, artist, album, etc. variables. Then I would have an array of "songs". This works well enough, but whe...
