AUDIOSCOPES

(The Basics)

Ok, first of all I'm no master of audioscopes, I used to make them when I frist started out but got into page building and left the audioscopes behind. Here's The little I know but should be enought to get ya started. They now work in emails again so just put the codes in as they are. you might want to check out Chardonay's scoops on scopes, that's where I learned my little knowledge.

Audioscopes are those cool looking lines that move when the music is turned on. Here's an exampl of a simple one, but first we have to have music, Click here.

Here's the code: <center><audioscope></center>

This is the simple form. As you can see it works but doesn't look that empressive yet. Now let's talk about adding background color to it. I woul normally use hex color codes to help load time, but for these lesson's I'll use the word color's to make it easier to understand. I'll also be using black or white for my example's, you can use ansy color you want.

Here's the code with the bgcolor="black".

Now here's one with the background="white".

Here's the code:

As you can see by now you can put pretty much any color you want for the background. Now lets make it a bit smaller by adding the height attribute.

And here's the code, replace the ? mark with a color. You can also you any hieght you want, the number's are in pixels, the bigger the number, the higher the height.

Now lets add some width to the code to using the width attribute.

And here's the code, again you can change the number's to suit your needs.

Now that's the simplest form of the audioscope. Now you can get more creative with them. Now lets add another line and make it more active to the music by adding gain and offset, the offset will determine how far apart the lines will be. One number shoud be positive the other should be negative, the bigger the number, the farther apart the line witll be.

Now if you add gain to the code you can make it more active to the music, or more jumpy, the bigger the number, the more active it wil be.

You can have a straight line with a gain of "0">

Now you can add color to your lines or scopes by adding leftcolor="?" and rightcolor="?" into the audioscope tag. I'm using blue and redd, but you can use any color your want.

You can also use it with a gain of "0".

<center>
<audioscope bgcolor="black" height="50" width="300" rightoffset="10" leftoffset="-10" rightcolor="blue" leftcolor="red" gain="0">
</cener>

Now there's another thing you can add, it's called "Maxlevel". And it goes in the code like this, but won't work with the gain="0", maxlevel="true". It's a line that rides on the peaks or tops of the lines of the audioscope.

I never used this much when I used to make audioscopes. But somepeople like them. You can aslo add a border if you like. The old classics won't be able to see ot use the border. If you have one you will have to make a talbe border.

The only other thing I know is that you can stack them on top one another by using 's or 's. LIke this:

<center>
<audioscope bgcolor="black" height="50" width="300" rightoffset="10" leftoffset="-10" rightcolor="blue" leftcolor="red" gain="3">

<audioscope bgcolor="black" height="50" width="300" rightoffset="10" leftoffset="-10" rightcolor="blue" leftcolor="red" gain="3">
</center>

Well that's about it for this tutorial, like I said at the top, it should be enough to get you started, and have some fun! Here are somemore helpfull links for scopes, Jazzman, Audioscope works (needs to be updated), Dales site, Worf scope school, Miss Spiffy, and Lobone's Scopes & Table's. They all know alot more about scopes than I do. I think you will find some of there work amazing to say the least. Hope ya had fun and learned a little something. Kid
