I have been poking around several PD programs that use sound, wanting to do the same in my program, and I am somewhat confused. I already know that there are two kinds of 'snd' resources: one for hypercard, one for Mac II. I have found resources named: ASND, BSND, SONG, snd... Are there any standards in this area? How could I play sounds in the various formats (that is to say, what resources map to what sound driver routines)? What is the best way to capture sounds for a program? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Christensen Hewlett-Packard (408) 553-2955 or telnet 553-2955 Design Technology Center cnc@hpdtc%hplabs.hp.com Santa Clara, CA

Yes, there are standards. Enough to shake a stick at. In the area of resources, probably the best way to store them is the snd resource format for HyperCard. There are several stacks which allow SoundCap and SoundWave files (files of digitized sound -- not resources -- created by two of the more popular sound digitization programs) to be converted into HyperCard snd resources. >What is the best way to capture sounds for a program? I like the Impulse digitizer (which comes with the SoundWave software); there are, however, much cheaper kits (put out by BMUG?) which you could probably put together. I believe SoundWave can be purchased seperately from Impulse. Q: How many IBM CPU's does it take to execute a job? A: Four; three to hold it down, and one to rip its head off.

I have a Mac ][, little money, and would LOVE a digitizer. Mike Michael Lee Gleicher (-: If it looks like I'm wandering Duke University (-: around like I'm lost . . .
