Re: Equalizer Effect Output Levels

Hi Paul,

I'm afraid this isn't possible as there is no mechanism in place to query properties from an Effect hosted in an Auxiliary Effect Slot. I don't think the Equalizer effect as it is today would give you the values you need for your spectrum analyze anyway.

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a little visual effects program which uses OpenAL. The idea is to change the colours of the scene in time to a music track.

I was hoping to use the built in EFX equalizer as a spectrum analyzer. The four bands would be ideal for outputting to a graphics shader vector, as long as I have correctly "tuned" the frequency bands to the music I'm using. This would save me having to write any filtering functions.

So my question is: Is it possible to get the output levels of each band in the equalizer which are used in the final mix?

I don't need to hear the equalized track, so I can set the effects gain to zero. I will pay out the direct sound and hopefully just use the relative levels of the equalizer bands as some input to the graphics shaders.

Thanks,

Paul_______________________________________________
