waveform VISUALS

I've been working in cool edit for a long time and I
decided to see if I could do something with the actual
shapes of the waveforms I see aside from the sound of them.
After hours of works I got a stereo waveform to visually say
"FASTER FASTER" (which is my artist name) using the space in
between the actual sound data, accept for the t which is
made up of the data not the space between. I'm totally
serious it's easy to recignise if you just pull it up in a
program that you can see both right and left channel data.
I'm gonna put it up for download soon. it's just a 2 second
wave file that sounds like white noise that kinda taps
really quick.
am I the only one thats tried this? I'm curious.

no ive done it before. to get all the letters, you have to
have it in stereo with the display showing one channel above
the other. i cant remember what i said now, was a couple of
months ago. i managed to put 'give dave money' into it at
the end. i was quite bored that day, but glad that i could
actually do it.

john is fast: how did you do it in cooledit? i have cooledit
pro, but dont know how to. i did it in soundforge, because
it has that pen which lets you draw your own waves.would
have prefered to use cooledit tho.

there's a program called coagula which will convert a bitmap
file into a waveform

same kind of sound in winwlicker

you can also draw nativly in the program

very cool proggy

I did it in cool edit using stereo view like you said. I
made a wave that covered the entire visual range and then I
started going left and right seperately adjusting volumes
and pan until everything fit together. I'll try soundforge
though. My way is much harder.

you can turn bitmap into sound in fruityloops too. makes
for some interesting crap but I've never been real
interested in it partially cause I don't understand the
process at all. so to me the end result has nothing to do
with the picture so why use a picture at all?

well with coagula, it does produce a picture

you make the waveform with coagula, put it through a
spectrum analyser, and hey presto

pretty good resolution too

if you can get a copy of the reg'd version that'd be cool

honestly, it's great :)

yeah that's the one mate :)

fucking brilliant!

i made a pic of my girlfriend into a sound

there's obviously some loss in picture quality but it's
pretty accurate in terms of picture

:)
