I want to SEE the music made from thinking rock dreams. Recording is literally turning sound into stone and I wanna see it but I cant and dont know how. I’ve asked this a couple times but I feel like I was always wanting to see how music is encoded as text/binary whatever and I cant
if you want to see only the music and you have an mp4, which is usually a video, you have to extract the audio data first. you can do this with mplayer or mencoder, for example.
Then, if you have the audio extracted, you can take a look at that, but it’s usually too complicated to be read by humans like that. I suggest, you use something like mhWavedit that decodes the sound wave values and displays them in a neat abstract graph for editing.
Its insane how we turn sound into “stone”, pure sorcery; no doubt about it
