Audio wave image created by a mask? #56

Open erikmlund opened 11 years ago

erikmlund commented 11 years ago

It seems that in order to create the audio wave image a PNG mask is created? Is this on soundcloud's behalf or something dynamically created by the javascript?

Also does this mean it is imposible to create a wave image that is silhouetted against a background image (ie. not just a solid color)?

Thanks Erik

As far as I know, this image is created by SoundCloud itself. I have tried many things but it is not working out. Shame though.

If someone else knows more, please help this Erikmlund and I!

The soundcloud homepage is currently doing it: soundcloud.com Obviously they are not using the same JS plug in we are but it proves there is a way to do it.

Thanks Erik

I think they don't use the same one. I don;t think they will use a third-party plug-in when they have this beautiful API that they have made themself
