Convert WAV To BMP And Back
I've Hired someone off of rentacoder.com to work 24/7 for me on my
latest project. I am converting WAVs to BMps and back, so you can
photoshop sound. One of the other coders thought I just wanted him...

How about either:
a) Point us to a URL of your work
b) STFU

I've done this, by using headerless RAW files, and you get very distorted
and aliasy results. More often that not it sounds like white noise.

Thank you for the link to metasynth, I wasn't aware of the software. I
could only hear on the radio and television that this is what they were
doing with sound. But metasynth hasn't been around since the beginning
of techno, and we have more power manipulating the raw bytes of the WAV
files. And trust me, working with WAV files is completely different
than RAW files, and it will work fine to convert to BMP. These are the
most fundemental formats. If you look at the example machine code for
the file format you can see how their is a frequency of sound in each
sample, mine are totally silent so they are all 0s. Each 0 represents
a color, in this case it would be black. So they convert directly.
When the software is ready I'll link everyone up to it. And we will
all have much more power creating music by manipulating the raw bytes
in photoshop, than we would using the structure of a program like
metasynth.

Seriously, I really appreciate the link. Because now I'm getting
another idea. After I code my WAV <-> BMP converter, I can code a BMP
translater, to map the pixels in the image to another image that
represents different kinds of sound more directly. Like amplitude,
frequency, bass, etc. Good like man!

Google gives 339,000 hits on:
audio "data visualization"
Might be something useful among all that.

Actually that's called a 'vocoder', and it doesn't require the use of
Photoshop.
But good luck with your experimentation. Personally I think you will find that
it is a waste of time and the money you are paying your 'coder'. But it's nice
that you are employing somebody.
