Homework 4 - radio play

Spatialization comparisons, use headphones or ear buds

Four soundfiles need to be preloaded -- mono.wav, stereo.wav, binaural.wav, spatializer.wav -- the first three were recorded with different kinds of mics and the last was created by feeding a mono file into the Ambisonic Spatializer and capturing the result of moving it manually.

// for something more dramatic in the live code, add more clips and reduce their spacing
for (0 => int i; i < names.size()*2; i++) { // play through the set of sound files twice
  spork ~clip(names[i % names.size()]);  // need to use % so the set of names repeats
  1::second => now;
}

 
["mono.wav", "stereo.wav", "binaural.wav", "spatializer.wav"] @=> string names[];
fun void clip(string name)         // define "clip" as a function
{
  SndBuf2 mySnd => dac;            // wire up a sound file reader and connect to the DAC
  mySnd.read(name);                // specify the file name
  mySnd.length() => dur myDur;     // get the duration
<<< name, "is playing at", now/second, "for", myDur/second,"seconds">>>;
  myDur => now; 		   // quit this shred after sound file's duration has passed
}
for (0 => int i; i < names.size(); i++) {
  spork ~clip(names[i]); // play each file once in a sequence of calls to clip
  4::second => now;
}
while (true) 1::samp => now; // chuck forever, "stop" button finishes the recording and quits
