Thanks Raven. &nbsp;Just to clear a few things up for you.....I'm writing this as a Director Xtra because I need this funtionality in a Director project I'm working on (actually my thesis). &nbsp;And I don't need constant feedback about a sound; I only need feedback when it's requested (i.e. a Lingo command like GetAmplitude).<br />
<br />
Another problem I'm facing is being able to sync two sounds playing from disk, but I think I know how to do it now (scheduledCmd and using a ClockComponent).<br />
<br />
Anyway, thanks again for the help.<br />

I'm writing a Director Xtra that will provide realtime feedback of a sound that's playing (frequency response, amplitude response, etc.). &nbsp;I know I must use the Sound Manager to play sounds asynchronously and manage my own doublebuffers. &nbsp;What I'm asking is, how and what do I analyze to get this kind of &quot;realtime&quot; feedback. &nbsp;Can I just analyze the data in the doublebuffers (for each sound channel) or would I need to write a sound component to analyze a more raw form of the sound? &nbsp;I really just need to be pointed in a general direction here. &nbsp;And if anyone knows of any books that would help, that'd be great too. &nbsp;Thanks.

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
