Hi guys, sorry if this is an easy question. I was searching around the internet and the forum but I cant get an answer which I understand. I am sorry because I am new to this.

I am developing a audio signal analysis program which allows audio file to be loaded into buffer and analyze its beats, spectral and other parameters. May I know what is the concept of developing an non real time analyzer? I was trying using peak~, peek~ and peakamp~ but all of them doesnt provide what I want.

You'll need something more than basic max objects if you want to analyze anything other than amplitude anyways.

Take a look at Alex Harker's externals, specifically descriptors and descriptorsrt:

The "rt" one is the realtime one, the other one is non realtime. The good thing about descriptors (vs something analyzer~ is that you decide specifically want you want to analyze for, and no more).

Other very handy analysis objects : sigmund~ fiddle~ bonk~ analyzer~

The echonest analyzer is pretty interesting:

Thanks Rodrigo. I will look into that later. Really appreciate your information.

Regardingi to echonest analyzer, I tried that before but im looking something that able to work without internet connection so at this point of time I will skip it to find better solution.
