Hello,

For my project I am creating my very own DIY MIDI DJ mixer.

I will be using this instructable to create my mixing board;

Here is an image of what my board will theoretically look like along with the music mixing software I will be using (Traktor);

I was curious if I would be able to implement an audio spectrum analyzer (such as the one below) to my mixer board.

Here is a link to a video of the audio spectrum analyzer;


The mixing board will have to be connected to a computer with a music mixing software such as Traktor.

If I understand correctly, the microcontroller I'll be using wont be processing the audio. The microcontroller will be using it's I/O pins to control the functions in the music mixing software.

So my question is;

Can I retrieve the frequency of the mp3 file being played on the software without using a microphone?

I was wondering if there was any way that the frequency being displayed can come straight from the mp3 file through MIDI.

I hope this makes sense.

Thank you.
