Hi, I'm trying to work out the best and most reliable method to detect the attacks of a snare hit in real time while an audio file (.aiff) is playing. I'm hoping to get as close as possible to a general method that will work for a large number of techno/dance type tracks. At the moment I'm using a biquad filter with coefficients (bandpass around the most common snare frequencies) that I derived from the filtergraph object. Does anybody know of a better or more efficient method?

basically it detects transients by rapid change in spectral enveloppe. Don't know htis object very well, but it seems to look like what you need.

maybe [bonk~] from Miller Puckette ? http://crca.ucsd.edu/~tapel/software.html

Have you considered analyzer~? It detects transients as well as loudness, frequency, etc.

I've tried bonk but can't get consistent results from it. I'm finding it a bit difficult to set the right parameters. I'll try and get analyzer and have a go with that. I'll let you know! Thanks guys
