Question: Help with audio example

I believe you can only access audio files when on a hosted platform

I can work the rest of timbre alright, but I can't use even the simplest
audio example. Any idea whats going wrong?

<script>function playT(){var src = window.getDraggedFile() || "amen.wav";T("audio").loadthis(src, function() { this.plot({target:canvas}).play();}).on("ended", function() { this.pause();});} function oscD(){ var freq = T("param", {value:100}).to(200, "BPM140 L2", -4);T("pulse", {freq:freq, mul:0.3}).play();}</script>

    <!-- start gui -->
<button style="background-color:#05a36c;"class="button" onclick="playT();"></button>
<button style="background-color:#06bb7c;"class="button" onclick="oscD();"></button>

Do only the audio files need to be hosted? or..

[mohayonao]

an error message is appear?

[SPENCERPOPE]

I don't see an error. Synthesized sounds play locally, but the T(audio) produces no sound.

you can run this page on your environment?

Everything on the timbre website works, but trying run the audio examples locally doesn't work.

[mohayonao]

which is type of url run at local environment?

• http://127.0.0.1:3000/ hosted on local server
• file://home/username/web/index.html opened by double clicking

the second case does not work probably.

You need to start a web server to avoid CORS issues (http://goo.gl/gj5De).
Trying to load the audio file gives you an error which you can see on the console (in Chrome: go to the menu - view/developer/javascript console).

To overcome this is issue, start a simple web server in the directory where your files are. You can do this in one line if you have Python installed with either python -m SimpleHTTPServer or python3 -m htttp.server and then open http://localhost:8000.

On Windows, it might be easier to install XAMP to get yourself a web server: https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html

I can use T("audio") running on a local server. Thank you everyone!
