[PD] Resizing an array according do size of sound file

[Derek Holzer]

Hi Ben,

So you are sending the audio through from [tabplay~] to [tabwrite~] in 
realtime? Is that what I'm seeing here?

If so, then it's essentially live sampling. In this case, one normally 
doesn't resize the table but instead uses the total number of samples of 
whatever was live sampled as the lookup bounds. The actual table size 
will then only be the absolute maximum amount of samples you might want 
to record.

You might want to have a look at my Looper. It was designed to catch 
audio and either loop or granukate it. The part you will want to look at 
would be the looping part:

If I misunderstood, and what you are trying to do is something else, 
please correct me. I have often found that writing a detailed email of 
what I'm trying to do and what I've already tried sometimes is enough to 
solve the problem for myself ;-)

best,
d.
