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 floating-point values representing the audio?

Answer 1

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)

@implementation WaveformImageVew

-(id)initWithUrl:(NSURL*)url{
    if(self = [super init]){
        AVURLAsset * urlA = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:url options:nil];
        [self setImage:[UIImage imageWithData:[self renderPNGAudioPictogramLogForAssett:urlA]]];
    }
    return self;
}
