WaveForm on IOS

Question

I\'m looking for how to draw the sound amplitude.

I found http://supermegaultragroovy.com/2009/10/06/drawing-waveforms/ but i have some problems. How get a list of f

Answer 1

I can give you reference of the one that I have implemented in my application. It was apple's example. Here is the example of AurioTouch which analyzes 3 types of sound audio. Apple has still not provided to analyse directly the audio waves... so this example also uses the Mic to analyse the sound...

Amongst 3 I have used only Oscilloscope for analysing the amplitude effect. I have to change that code drastically to match my requirement, so best of luck if you are going to use...

You can also see one more example using such amplitude : SpeakHere of Apple

Answer 2

Been reading your question and created a control for this. Looks like this:

Code here:

UPDATE 2015-01-29: This project is going strong and making consistent releases. Thanks for SO for all the exposure!

Answer 3

This is the code I have used to convert my audio data (audio file ) into floating point representation and saved into an array.

-(void) PrintFloatDataFromAudioFile {

NSString *  name = @"Filename";  //YOUR FILE NAME
NSString * source = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:name ofType:@"m4a"]; // SPECIFY YOUR FILE FORMAT

const char *cString = [source cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

CFStringRef str = CFStringCreateWithCString(
                                            NULL,
                                            cString,
                                            kCFStringEncodingMacRoman
                                            );
CFURLRef inputFileURL = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(
                                                      kCFAllocatorDefault,
                                                      str,
                                                      kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle,
                                                      false
                                                      );

ExtAudioFileRef fileRef;
ExtAudioFileOpenURL(inputFileURL, &fileRef);


  AudioStreamBasicDescription audioFormat;
audioFormat.mSampleRate = 44100;   // GIVE YOUR SAMPLING RATE 
audioFormat.mFormatID = kAudioFormatLinearPCM;
audioFormat.mFormatFlags = kLinearPCMFormatFlagIsFloat;
audioFormat.mBitsPerChannel = sizeof(Float32) * 8;
audioFormat.mChannelsPerFrame = 1; // Mono
audioFormat.mBytesPerFrame = audioFormat.mChannelsPerFrame * sizeof(Float32);  // == sizeof(Float32)
audioFormat.mFramesPerPacket = 1;
audioFormat.mBytesPerPacket = audioFormat.mFramesPerPacket * audioFormat.mBytesPerFrame; // = sizeof(Float32)

// 3) Apply audio format to the Extended Audio File
ExtAudioFileSetProperty(
                        fileRef,
                        kExtAudioFileProperty_ClientDataFormat,
                        sizeof (AudioStreamBasicDescription), //= audioFormat
                        &audioFormat);

int numSamples = 1024; //How many samples to read in at a time
UInt32 sizePerPacket = audioFormat.mBytesPerPacket; // = sizeof(Float32) = 32bytes
UInt32 packetsPerBuffer = numSamples;
UInt32 outputBufferSize = packetsPerBuffer * sizePerPacket;

// So the lvalue of outputBuffer is the memory location where we have reserved space
UInt8 *outputBuffer = (UInt8 *)malloc(sizeof(UInt8 *) * outputBufferSize);



AudioBufferList convertedData ;//= malloc(sizeof(convertedData));

convertedData.mNumberBuffers = 1;    // Set this to 1 for mono
convertedData.mBuffers[0].mNumberChannels = audioFormat.mChannelsPerFrame;  //also = 1
convertedData.mBuffers[0].mDataByteSize = outputBufferSize;
convertedData.mBuffers[0].mData = outputBuffer; //

UInt32 frameCount = numSamples;
float *samplesAsCArray;
int j =0;
    double floatDataArray[882000]   ; // SPECIFY YOUR DATA LIMIT MINE WAS 882000 , SHOULD BE EQUAL TO OR MORE THAN DATA LIMIT

while (frameCount > 0) {
    ExtAudioFileRead(
                     fileRef,
                     &frameCount,
                     &convertedData
                     );
    if (frameCount > 0)  {
        AudioBuffer audioBuffer = convertedData.mBuffers[0];
        samplesAsCArray = (float *)audioBuffer.mData; // CAST YOUR mData INTO FLOAT

       for (int i =0; i<1024 /*numSamples */; i++) { //YOU CAN PUT numSamples INTEAD OF 1024

            floatDataArray[j] = (double)samplesAsCArray[i] ; //PUT YOUR DATA INTO FLOAT ARRAY
              printf("\n%f",floatDataArray[j]);  //PRINT YOUR ARRAY'S DATA IN FLOAT FORM RANGING -1 TO +1
            j++;


        }
    }
}}

Thank all.

I found this example here: Drawing waveform with AVAssetReader , changed it and developed a new class based on.

This class returns UIImageView.

//.h file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface WaveformImageVew : UIImageView{

}
-(id)initWithUrl:(NSURL*)url;
- (NSData *) renderPNGAudioPictogramLogForAssett:(AVURLAsset *)songAsset;
@end


//.m file
#import "WaveformImageVew.h"

#define absX(x) (x<0?0-x:x)
#define minMaxX(x,mn,mx) (x<=mn?mn:(x>=mx?mx:x))
#define noiseFloor (-50.0)
#define decibel(amplitude) (20.0 * log10(absX(amplitude)/32767.0))
#define imgExt @"png"
#define imageToData(x) UIImagePNGRepresentation(x)
