Im looking for a way in max to get the value of each Bit Depth of each sample.

So for example if we have an audio file that is 2 seconds long.

Thats 44,100 x 2 = 88,200 samples that i want to know the bit depth for each one?

I'm not sure if I understand you. By "bit depth" you mean the actual sample value?

The "number~" object outputs sample values but one would need to find a way how to store them since it has to happen in audio rate. I guess a combination of info~ and index~ should do the job.

One could write a object in C but if you're not really into programming for max that's quite a task. Apart from max there is libsndfile which is also a c library for audio stuff but requires some programming skills as well. Maybe there are other tools, I'll try to think about it. Depending on what you want to do with your data.

you can write audio in a buffer and read the sample values out with the poke msp object among others. is that what you want?

Thanks for help guys, i think i have enough to help me.

Basically what i am trying to do is form a list of values of each sample of small bit of audio.

When audio is recorded into a computer it is sampled at 44100 times a second, i need to capture the value of each sample.

I think you guys have given me the means to do that now though.

Thank you so much, any more help, input or advice is appreciated though.
