AS3 Sound Spectrum Contest Results!!

There were so many great entries in this contest and deciding on a winner was hard! After much deliberation and help from the great group of mods at the GTAL forums, I’m officially declaring the winner to be trioptic with his fullscreen masterpeice! It has such a cool feel to it and is kind of like watching a painting melt. I love the soundtrack too! Trioptic will be receiving a 6-month Premium subscription to the Lynda.com Online Training Library.

The runner-up award goes to Deviant1853 for his Viz2 entry. This great entry was also accompanied by a Visualization AS3 class which helped to put it on top. Great work Deviant! Deviant will be receiving a copy of my Flash Professional 8 Video Integration CD-ROM courtesy of Lynda.com.

Below is a little Flash app I built which links to all of the entries. Here is the FLA as always. The tooltip displays the name of who created it. Be sure to have Flash Player 9 installed before checking them out!

Thanks everyone!!
Lee

    Probably a pretty basic question, but how is the blurred trace effects created in some of the demos?

    I went to MosesSupposes to get the FUSE library and there was no download link?!

    Anyone know where this can be grabbed?

  16. trioptic says:

    To get the FUSE kit, you have to email the owner of the site, using the link provided at mosessupposes.com/Fuse

  20. ray says:

    pretty sure thats a Heikki song on Chris’s visuals.

    Yep just checked; its Tonight by Heikki

  21. link ekle says:

    It works at home but not at work. This incident just shows how hooked I am on Cocoalicious and what a great program it is.

  22. priyabrata says:

    if anybody has the c code for converting music into spectrum kindly send it on the foll id: priyabrata_palit@yahoo.com

  23. Good stuff!

    A bit late, but here’s my attempt:

    It uses the Actionscript 3 SoundMixer.computeSpectrum to fire off random animations. Not a bread and butter visualiser but interesting none the less.

    how to hide realplayer downlaod option flv player & audio player

  26. Chad Udell says:

    I don’t think most of these work in Flash Player 10 Beta 2. Can anyone else confirm?

  27. lee says:

    Is there no way to use the SoundSpectrum class in isolation from other Flash sites using the Sound Class? Try viewing these Content Entries with a youtube video open in a completely separate window. I’m using Safari 3.

    Here’s hot for words: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GyeZBEwmpiU

  28. dbx166xl says:

    I think it will take about a month to sit down and check all of these out as they deserve. :- ) Gorgeous samples for what I’ve seen so far. With those of you who have played with the computeSpectrum goodness, what limitations have you found? Have any of you needed to import third-party libraries to circumvent those issues? I’d particularly be interested in the subject of pitch-modulation with respect to a global sound source. Any tips / advice would be most welcome!

  29. v says:

    Hi. You should look into fixing the security sandbox errors so non-technophiles can enjoy these.

  30. erik says:

    it would be really awesome if someone incorporated illusions like lilac chaser. Really awesome stuff here though, thoroughly impressed with the content and Flash’s capabilities.

  31. Will says:

    Seriously amazing. New to sound stuff with as3 and it is really inspiring. Thanks

  32. Morten says:

    To be quite honest.. not to complain or anything… just think it’s a pity…
    None of theese spectrums work on my computer..

    Im using Firefox 3.0.8, with flash player 10.0 r22.

  33. shaan says:

    All are done wonderful job. But specially I like to mention that Chris done a number of stunning visualizations. Really enjoyed Chirs’s work. Really creative.

  34. Ivica says:

    ok, now this thing does’t work if a youtube player is opetn in another tab or even in another window, “solution” is to put sound spectrum script in a movie clip in stead of on stage. But then the problem is that it reacts on any sound in the browser, for example if I have my web site with my spectrum in one tab it will react on the music coming from the youtube player wich is in another tab.
    BTW don’t delete this post, Lee, just because you’re in love with Adobe.
    Let’s be honest and say that has a fault

  35. Oboe Passion says:

    These are so awesome and pretty. I’m looking to make effects like this,but really struggling, this is hat I have so far http://users.vic.chariot.net.au/~sarahg/spectrum.html
    If some one could give me a tip on the effects required, or point me in the right direction…. That’d be great, thanks.
