<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Maria,</div><div><br></div><div>me.dir() doesn't accept strings but integers (or no arguments at all) to return the path, starting from the current folder (ie the folder where the ChucK script/program resides).</div><div>Assuming your ChucK program is saved in a folder called: "~/Users/Me/Documents/ChucKFiles" if you use me.dir() this will return the path I just specified, if you use me.dir(1) it would be the parent folder so: "~/Users/Me/Documents", me.dir(2) returns: "~/Users/Me" and so on.</div><div>Then SndBuf method 'pos' wants an integer as an argument, since the argument represents the position (playhead starting point) expressed in samples (hence why integers).</div><div><br></div><div>I would recommend to always check the errors reported on the console monitor, even if sometimes they can be 'cryptic', most of the time will help you debugging the issue.</div><div>Useful to report the errors you get on the console here on the mailing list as well when asking for help :)</div><div><br></div><div>now you code could look something like the following:</div><div><br></div><div>//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>// Using SndBuf to play a sound file<br>// by ChucK Programmer, December 2050<br>SndBuf mySound => dac;<br><br>// path + filename (assuming the 'audio' folder is in the same<br>// folder as the script itself)<br>me.dir() + "/audio/123.wav" => string filename;<br>// tell SndBuf to read this file<br>filename => mySound.read;<br>// set gain<br>0.5 => mySound.gain;<br>// play sound from the beginning<br>0 => mySound.pos;<br>// advance time so we can hear it<br>second => now;</div><div>//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Mario<br></div><div><br> </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 16 Dec 2019 at 18:41, maria p cruz <<a href="mailto:maria.indigo7325987@gmail.com">maria.indigo7325987@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Everyone!</div><div>Wath is wrong in this code?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>// Using SndBuf to play a sound file<br>// by ChucK Programmer, December 2050<br>SndBuf mySound => dac;<br>// get file path<br>me.dir(C:\Program Files (x86)\ChucK\audio\123.wav) => string path;<br>// sound file we want to play<br>"/audio/123.wav" => string filename;<br>// + sign connects strings together!<br>path+filename => filename;<br>// tell SndBuf to read this file<br>filename => mySound.read;<br>// set gain<br>0.5 => mySound.gain;<br>// play sound from the beginning<br>0.1 => mySound.pos;<br>// advance time so we can hear it<br>second => now;<br>//<br></div>
