Simple audio reaction from a file Hi, I'm a noob, as you'll see when i ask my question. I'm trying to control the width of an image(billboard) using an audio file, as opposed to the audio input that I normally use. I'm sure I'm missing something that is really simple. please help. thanks ultra noob.

With built-in patches, this can't be accomplished easily. With AudioTools, there's a patch for that. (Kineme Audio File Input or something similar).
I've tried using the the Kineme Audio File Input but cant patch it straight into a billboard's width input. Can you explain how I would do that?
thanks
the output is a structure. use the mouse to hover over output ports to see what kind of data they are. Check out Structure Index Member and Structure Key Member to use structures.
thanks for your speedy response, i've attached the Volume Peaks output to a structure key member but there seems to be no data that comes out - orange patch cord - can you please explain how i would convert the incoming signal into a way to patch into a math module. I'm sorry for my incredible N00Bness, many thanks in advance.
what did you set the key to?
Audio File Input -> Structure Key Member -> Billboard (width) works for me, when key is set to "channel00" or "channel01", and when the billboard has an image (otherwise it won't render anything), and when the composition is running (viewer is open and running).
I still cant seem to get it to work, its definitely an oversight on my part. I've attached my file. can you please tell me where I'm going wrong. many thanks again for your time.
By "channel00" or "channel01", I meant, quite literally, "channel00", or "channel01".
You're using "01" as key, which is definitely not in the set of "channel00" and "channel01".
In the future, please make liberal use of mouse-over tooltips to see key/value names.
Many thanks mister!
I tend to use index and just the #. Not that one is more correct than the other...
