Hello!
I am working on a music visualiser project using an Arduino and RGB strip. On my first prototype, I used an LM393-type sound sensor which worked but was very limited in its abilities: it pretty much only measures 'volume' which made the light visualisation look like a total mess!
I started to dive into the vast world of microphones and ended up narrowing my picks to:
- SparkFun's sound detector as it has been used in similar projects
- Adafruit's MAX 4466 and MAX 9814 as they seem to still perform well at high decibels and has automatic adjustable gain
From what I gathered, I am thinking of using the envelope output on these sensors to create my visual effects. Passive band filtering also seems interesting, perhaps to separate bass/mids/highs.
Are these ideas relatively feasible? Did I miss out on crucial details or am overcomplicating things?
Thank you in advance!
Have a great holiday... A
