I am trying to workout a way of creating multiple start points on an audio sample after it has been recorded into a buffer~ and displayed in waveform~

I want the start points to be at the beginning of each audio wave. for example if i record someone saying a sentence i would like the start points to be at the beginning of each word...

I was hoping that the waveform~ object would allow me to do this by somehow analyzing the level of the waves but cant find a way of doing this...

If anyone can help i would be most grateful.

slice~ would be a simple solution, although i don't know if it works in max5. but it's quite easy to do otherwise - look at bonk~ for attack detection, and coll for storing and outputting the attack times to waveform~.

Detecting the beginning of words is a pretty complicated problem. You may enjoy playing with a patch that slices audio according to spectral changes. It's called "10-sliced-playback" and you can download it on

mate, this is a wicked patch. i'm having great fun with it, cheers.

Ive been trying to change the 10-sliced-playback patch so that it records live incoming speech from a ezadc~ object into the record~, but when i do it this way the segments, transients and sonogram dont work. why is this?

i have tried to build a seperate buffer~, record~ set up within the same patch but the record~ will not record anything in...
