Hi all,

I have a sound sample-- it's voice.  It's broken up with small areas of silence.  I have a graphic character who moves his head while speaking (but not mouth sync or anything, just head bobbing).  I'd like to stop him from bobbing his head when the current volume of the voice sample is lower than a threshold.  Is there any kind of BASS query I could do to get the current instanced volume (or wave size, or whatever I might do to detect areas of near silence) of a sample that's playing?

Thanks
John

Will the voice ever be played more than once at a time? If not, perhaps you could use a stream instead of a sample to play it, ie. BASS_StreamCreateFile instead of BASS_SampleLoad. You would then be able to use BASS_ChannelGetLevel to get the current level of the stream. Unfortunately, BASS_ChannelGetLevel doesn't currently support sample channels (HCHANNEL).

As a matter of fact, it IS a stream, so this works out perfectly.

Thanks!

That's handy

For completeness, I'll go ahead and add support for sample channels (HCHANNEL) in BASS_ChannelGetData/Level for the next release anyway.
